Ever build a house? I’m no architect, but I do know you want siding on your home. Otherwise, it will be very drafty.
My next adventure in rethinking this step-out from the Yellow House project in Joyful Stitching is to finish the house.
Landscaping around the house is necessary too. (Please note that my hands never touch a shovel, and my back thanks me.) But there is some heavy lifting to complete the landscaping. Filling in the area with long and short stitches for the grassy area takes time. The good news is that I’m using a variegated size 12 thread called Lime Frappe, so I don’t have to change thread colors as I stitch.
And those trees along the horizon line? Sets of bullion knots using a size 12 Lettuce, only mildly variegated. Don’t you love how the trees pop off the background fabric? I should have been an arborist!
