the gate, the clouds and the sea

[fiercebunny]

Here's my first work in progress pic of the Japanese Garden.



So far, there's not been anything too complicated, a lot of Rhodes stitches, some sheaf stitches, beading and a lot of backstitching. The waves are metallic thread, backstitched 1 over 1. Using Rainbow Gallery metallics though, which are pretty easy to use and don't tangle or fray too badly. Next part are Rock Gardens and Bonsai Trees.

Other than this, I've been finding it hard to get motivated to do anything else productive this month. Except maybe napping. I think we should declare January National Hibernation Month and call it a wash.

That is very pretty! I love the way the clouds look.

Wish I could hibernate. Too many annoying things to take care of, sigh.

Thanks! :D

I just have no energy to get the annoying stuff taken care of. In National Hibernation Month, all annoying things will be pushed back to February. Maybe March. Or April, at the latest.

You have no idea how impressed I am by your needlework. I wish I could hibernate. Or that other people would hibernate and leave me alone.

Thanks! It really is a lot easier than it looks.

Besides my latest idea for National Hibernation Month, I think we should also have a Daily Enforced Adult Nap Time. It would be refreshing and hopefully cause people to act less like cranky toddlers.

By the by, I saw your lj post and wondered if you've seen Green Rose yet. It's an older series, but my mom just finished watching it and I noticed that it seemed to involve a lot of impassioned wailing and horribly melodramatic things happening to people. (Which is very distracting when I'm trying to play online scrabble...)
