I'm hoping so, but if not I'll just check the comments on the dashboard. It will be ok when it becomes a habit.<br /><br />I have not started a stump face, but it will probably be started in the near future. I don't think your's looks evil, but the thought sure makes me want to do a witchy kind of face. Thank you Hubby for the idea...I take them wherever I can get them. Someone near me has a whole field of Alium. They must grow them for some commercial business. I always enjoy seeing them when we drive by and they are in bloom. I don't cross stitch anymore, but I'm pretty sure I'll take it back up in the future. I never did the grid technique but I am sure going to look into it. Summer always eats into my stitching time. I wait all winter for the warm weather and can't bear to be inside when it's warm and sunny.<br /><br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-88241714409761311392018-06-01T22:58:13.203+01:002018-06-01T22:58:13.203+01:00Hi Brigitte, Good luck with the gridding for your ...Hi Brigitte, Good luck with the gridding for your HAED - that’ll be some project!

I have never done any gridding so far. But I have to do it when I want to start my first HAED. I think those aren' doable without gridding.<br /><br />That stump work face looks great and I'm looking forward how you will continue.<br /><br />Lovely pictures from your garden. I don't mind seeing snakes on pictures but can't stand them when I see them move. But as you say this isn't a snake (for me it just looks like one).Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-35979263566469037222018-06-01T00:07:00.914+01:002018-06-01T00:07:00.914+01:00Such an interesting post Barbara!

We, of course, don't have those here. And of course I enjoyed seeing your beautiful flowers (the only thing we miss about having a house is the flowers). And...perhaps your stumpwork face wouldn't be freaking out your DH quite so much if you were to add a couple of wee stitches at the corner of her mouth...upturned, so she looks like she's smiling?? Just a thought!! Oh - and thank you for pointing the way to some other bloggers who are dealing with the GDPR. I have something on my blog about it too - hopefully it's enough!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-89973310381795578322018-05-31T23:04:31.462+01:002018-05-31T23:04:31.462+01:00You have been busy stitching, gardening, rescuing ...You have been busy stitching, gardening, rescuing and dealing with blog issues.<br />As for the stumpwork portrait. I agree with your husband, these heads look, maybe not evil, but scary, before they have eyes and especially hair. Then the portrait will be transformed. However before that, make the dress, you only need to fold a piece of fabric, drape it behind the neck and fold it over on top to have a garment. THEN add the necklace. Use a thinner thread to thread the needle! Finally put on the hair.<br />Have fun!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-79118330415512238032018-05-31T22:52:25.510+01:002018-05-31T22:52:25.510+01:00Your stumpwork face looks great!
