Setback!

Well, I was chugging along on the Alphabet Sampler this weekend, and I had high hopes of getting the F and G blocks finished. And then, I went to pick out the last color of floss to finish off Farm.... and I didn't have it! When picking up all the floss the last time I was my (not so) LNS, I'd only stocked up on the floss through Elephant. Ooops... Luckily, I need to travel for work next week, and I can detour to the LNS this weekend, hopefully.

I did get Elephant finished - I love the upper border on this one! The colors aren't very true to life in this picture - I'd unplugged my Ott Lite by the time I took the picture. The elephant is quite cute, but the color of the tusks and his eye unfortunately fades into the background. I haven't decided if I'm going to leave it like it is or rip it out and use another color.

I'm not as happy with the Farm block - the colors are all yellows, reds, and blacks, and I'm not as much a fan of that. I'm reserving judgement until I get the last color in!

I actually went ahead and did the borders and lettering for H, I and part of J, but I think I'm going to put this one aside until I get a chance to pick up the floss to finish Farm.
