A little planning error.....

Well actually, it's the second planning error for this project. The first was not having enough boards but then again I don't think I thought that it was going to end up being the size that it is. But that seems to be sorted now cause my extra boards turned up yesterday so it was all go to try and get more of it done, when I hit another problem. I ran out of black beads! So of course, without the black beads I can't do the outline and therefore losing count of what line I'm on. I was 99.9% certain that I had ordered more when I put the HUGE order in the last time but it turns out that I only ordered the colours that I thought I was going to need for the original image and there was very little black in that.

So I did a run into Hobbycraft to try and get some and they have none!! None whatsoever! So now I'm back to waiting patiently for my supply to arrive. So crossing fingers and toes that I might get it finished this weekend :D

Sum of 4 hours work....

So Friday night I finally sat down and made a start on this project. Problem is, I don't know how big this is going to end up! This picture was taken on Friday when I final gave in for the night:

The problem that I now have is that by continuing it today, I've ran out of boards!! So going to have to invest in some pronto in order to get this done....the next hurdle to overcome is what I'm going to do with it once it's completed! I mean, I know I'm going to iron it but how I'm mounting or framing...that's a different story!

Problems, problems and did I say problems?

So I’ve been trying to make start of either one of the project without much success. Trying to get a size that I can work with as well as keep the text in has become damn near impossible to the point where we’re thinking that if I can get it as small as possible but still able to put in the text in as bead, then I may have to do it in segments, fusing smaller bits but leaving enough to fuse everything together…so yeah, god knows the size either of these projects is going to be

In sadder news, I won’t be able to do the original logo that I intended to do. It’s just proved too difficult for me at the moment so I think that I am just going to go with the older version of the logo and see how that goes. Again, the size thing is causing me concern but hopefully I’ll be able to work something out and these will be done for August.
