I was down to two WIPs – works in progress for those not of the stitching/craft persuasion. The first I planned as a long term projects; it is full coverage and is just not amenable to rapid progress, The other was started in the last week and is now at 60%. I need to finish it in the next two weeks, then stuff it in a shiny frame. No sweat.
So I needed something, given small people temporarily at my house, that didn’t take concentration. Certainly not the 90 colors in the first project or the 35 in the second. Hum – how about nine colors? Even if 40% of them are black – it seemed reasonable. Plus lots of chunks of color and not many beads. Masqued Mischief (Nora Corbett) seemed to fit the bill. 20% so far,

with most of the stitching left will fill in toward the bottom in a huge skirt, plus hat, wings and a large black bird….In fact 50% of what is left? Black….
