As January quickly comes to an end, I have 9 more blocks to share before leaving for 2 weeks of warmness and sunshine! This completes 28 blocks. If my estimate is correct, I will still need to do at least 32 more browns. For now, I will put brown on hold and embrace YELLOW! The sunshine color!
Even though working on the brown yoyos has become boring, I continue to stitch one a day. I do my stitching early in the morning while enjoying the quiet and a cup or two of coffee or tea. In the winter, my choice is coffee and my current favorite is a medium roast from Guatemala. I don't sugar or cream my coffee - just black and strong. I've never been one to add anything to my coffee.
So the yoyo stitching continues. While on our trip in February, I may take a few extra to work on, as I'll have some extra free time to myself. After all, I won't be cooking!
The brown blocks are getting a little bit boring for me right now. I may need to switch to another color for a few weeks, just to keep me interested. For now - I've completed the first 10 days. I'm right on schedule! only 356 to go. Ouch! That sound horrible!
Five days in and I still think this is a good idea! I'm keeping the stitching as simple as possible. I think that the yellow blocks (sunshine) will be more complex and covered with shiny beads. Those blocks may be what I work on during our February Caribbean cruise! I'll have more time and a lovely sun for inspiration. I hope.
