Lost and found
Last year, I think it was last year or maybe a year before, I was desperately looking for a chart with three kings I have seen on someones blog. First I just wanted to have it but after I couldn't find it became an obsession until I got it. It arrived in a mail safely but it was after Christmas already and, I guess, I was in a Easter or Summer mood ... until yesterday ... Out of a blue I decided to stitch that piece and ... I couldn't find that darn chart anywhere. I know I have it, I can see it in my mind's eye, but where the heck I put it?!? I checked all my binders, draws, craft cabinet... no luck. Wait a minute - I have some stuff in boxes! Remember, I was getting ready to move to Ontario? I started to pack some things and my stash was one of these things... two hours later, in the LAST box - I found it!!!!
And my fingers start to itch and my head start to spin... the model looks great but is a little to black and a little to grey... So I dived to stash again and I found a lovely golden evenweave fabric and the floss (Raven from Carrie's Creation and Straw Bonnet from The Gentle Art. There! I have a new start
So long my friends,

Isn't it funny how that happens? You're not the only one it's happened to either! I know I have this chart I'd been searching for for years... but I couldn't find it for ages because I hadn't put it away properly. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is going be beautiful with your colors. I am glad you found it!
ReplyDeleteMy dad always said it would be in the last place you looked. When I was little, that was mind boggling profound.
ReplyDeleteIt's always the last box, isn't it. I like your color choices better. Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteGreat start! Glad you were able to find the pattern and fabric and thread too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story Evalina. We all know that it's ALWAYS the last place we look. Great new start.

Looks great, I do things like this all the time put things away and they are gone and then it takes me a long time to find it , could be I have far to much stash !
ReplyDeleteThings we are desperately looking for are always in the last box we are browsing through, lol.
ReplyDeleteYour colour changes are just perfect. Enjoy this piece.
This is a beautiful pattern! I am curious how your stiching will look like!
ReplyDeleteLa broderie va etre magnifique bon après-midi Marie-Claire
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely Evalina! I have always admired this one too. So glad you finally found it.;)
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern and your changes! I hate that when you can't find something but you see it in your mind's eye! Happens a lot to me!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty...
ReplyDeleteOh that's going to be wonderful! We Three Kings is my absolute favorite Christmas carol. Looking forward to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad you found the chart you wanted to stitch Evalina. It's a beautiful one too. I love the contrast of the black on the cream. It'll be stunning once complete.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember you asking about this chart! It does look great, I love silhouette designs. But I would have to add some commas in the text!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Not another one you stitch and I go and buy! Help!!!
ReplyDeleteFor months looking for this project and can not find it . Would you be so kind as to give me the chart ?
ReplyDeleteI send my mail if possible . Thank you very much for your kindness
