Tour de iPhone

Today is a rest day in the Tour de France, but I’ll probably keep stitching tonight because it is restful.

I didn’t have a restful day Friday as we got up early to experience this:

We probably wouldn’t have done it except that my father-in-law wanted to get out in the madness. Unfortuantely, because our phones go through a corporate account, we left the store empty-handed.

Over the weekend, we finally got some proper TDF watching in. My fantasy cycling team is currently in 4874th place. I have been stitching, but I have been bad and stitching on a new design. Normally that wouldn’t be bad, but it means that I am neglecting both the new design sketch and stitching on my travel project. I received a couple of new models that I should be doing the finishing for; however, they need some cording and will have to wait until I get a chance to go to the fabric store.

Here’s what I have done (oooh! a sneak peak!):

Yes, the bicycle is inside the house, why do you ask? :)

Becca asked: “By the way, do you plan to do a green and orange in the Snowfights? ”

The answer is yes and more! The snowfight series is missing: Orange, Green and Indigo. I have sketches for Orange and Green and need to get cracking on making charts to stitch from! Indigo hasn’t told me what he wants to look like yet.

    I thought about indigo, but I was going to let yopu off the hook about that. I’m delighted he will be included- even if he’s a bit shy!
