Thank you for the well-wishes, my lovely bloggy friends! I am happy to report that I am feeling much better. :) Tired, but not ill. I haven't done as much stitching as I usually do as a result of my aforementioned tiredness, but here is a little sneak peek of my latest project:
(Pattern by Annie Oakleaves.)
I worked on this the other night while watching Pretty in Pink. Do you love that movie, or what? Does anyone else disagree with her decision in the end? Ugh. I can't talk about it. It makes me too upset. ;)
Anywho...
If my sleepiness doesn't take over, I will be working on (and hopefully finishing) this project tonight. Maybe I will watch The Parent Trap. And no, not the new Lindsay Lohan version. I am talkin' about the old school, totally awesome Hayley Mills version. (The good version!)
So, stay tuned for pictures of a soon-to-be-finished piece of embroidery. Hopefully I can deliver that to you very soon. Until then...
Happy Stitching!

This is lovely and your stitching is great, love the colors ! ... just for curiosity, what do you do with all your stitched pieces ?
Pretty! Very cheery!
Loving the WIP...and have always loved the original Parent Trap. When I was little I could recite almost the entire movie. (I could probably still do a good portion!)
Pretty! (And I like the rad little poster/mosaic goodness for this pic too, btw. The individual pics are always fabulous, but I'm really digging the mosaic tonight!)
You know, I can't even remember the ending of Pretty in Pink. I know I've seen it--maybe not the whole thing, but I imagine I've seen the end if nothing else--but I can't keep it straight from the end of 16 Candles.
My mom gave me the nowhere-near-as-good-as-the-original TPT (along with Mulan, for some reason) one Valentine's Day when I was in college. Why she picked those two movies, I couldn't say, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually quite cute. It can't touch The One and Only Original, of course...but I did think it was better than Parent Trap 2...or 3...or however many there were with Hayley Mills as adults (with those triplets--remember??). Then again, TPT was the only movie I've ever liked with Lindsay Lohan...you know, back in the "good ol' days" when she still had natural red hair, was a kid, and wasn't a trainwreck. Too bad she had to keep making more movies; she shoulda stopped after the first. ;o)
Glad you're feeling better, chica! Love the black outline around the petals too, btw! Mwa!
Super cute! Your stitching is always so lovely.
I love pretty in pink. I am a sucker for a john hughes movie most days. She shoule have went with ducky, but andrew mccarthy was cute.. Did you do a raised satin stitch here? It looks like it. Great job so far and rest up!
I like this and it's PINK!! I like pink! I am with you, Haley Mills can take on Lindsay Lohan anytime!! I love the original. I remember reading the book when I was young and it had pictures of the movie! I was thrilled!!!
I purchased my (I forgot what it was called already) hoop thingy!! I will be shipped tomorrow!! I will be thrilled if I can get away from hoop lines! Almost as bad as panty lines!!LOL Thanks for the info!
Very cute project1 Love the colors,and the smiley flowers. I love "Pretty in Pinnk",but all of a sudden I can't remember the end????
Wow, everyone! Thank you so much for your kind words. :)
my 1st bambina!--Most of these get sent to Annie Oakleaves. Some I put in frames, and some are waiting in the closet...I am hoping to get a sewing machine (and some sewing skills, lol) so I can create something dazzling. ;)
kathleen aka coffee mom--Thank you so much! :) ♥
mollie--Lol, me too! I watched it every day one summer when I was 12 or 13. I would rewind certain parts and watch them over and over and over...
ccw--I did like the remake the first time I saw it. Not so much anymore, though. And yeah, that triplet movie was a summer staple of ours one year, wasn't it? Maybe when we were 14?? I recall liking that one a lot.
mr. x stitch--Thank you kindly so much. :) And yeah, I am glad about Jon Cryer being on TV, I love Two and a Half Men!
mia--Thank you so much. I saw your redwork on Flickr, and it is gorgeous. :):)
sewitsforyou--I did a satin stitch inside the outline of each petal using 6 strand of floss. I didn't make it raised on purpose, but it looks like it, huh? WAY COOL. :):)
miss paula--Yay! You will LOVE your Q-snaps.
elizabeth--Thanks! :) The end of the movie(SPOLIER ALERT, PEOPLE! LOOK AWAY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!) was a disappointment to me because I thought she should've gone with Duckie (Jon Cryer) instead of Blane (Andrew McCarthy.)
Kristi... thanks so much for the reply ! Your answer has motivated me to embroider away :-) !
