Here I was this morning with only seven stitches remaining to finish my teeny tiny rug. I made a mistake. I got a loop in my thread and had to pull the thread out of the needle to fix it.
That being done, I got out my handy dandy needle threader and proceeded to use it to re-thread my needle. I spent almost ten minutes (!) trying to do this! FINALLY I realized I was trying to put the needle threader in the WRONG end of the needle! NOT the one with the hole in it!
I am determined to finish this rug today!
My Christmas cactus needs a bit of a trim and maybe more flowers? At least I can SEE to do that!
I'm TRYING to make a Christmas cactus in 1:12 scale. I figured it wasn't fair to send Ascension a kit for making one of these without making one myself. :D
I'm finding it hard to switch from teeny tiny to small! Here's what I've done so far.
I'm following Leslie's tutorial for the most part. I made my flowers with individual petals instead of the fringed paper that Leslie uses. I tried that, but couldn't get the fringe to look right.
So now, I'm waiting for the glue to dry. Then I'll try to cut the leaves. Hopefully, it will look something like a Christmas cactus when I'm finished?
Then there is the matter of the house on my dining room table. Good thing we're have Thanksgiving dinner at my daughter's house!
I really can't wait to get started here. The plans are on paper. But that's all I've done.
Before I get distracted again, I'm going to start cleaning my REAL house. Nothing like knowing that family will be visiting soon to get me motivated. LOL
Hope you have a beautiful day!
