It’s after 2:00 AM and I’ve been laying in bed for over an hour, unable to get to sleep. Is there anything more frustrating? Unless Terry, I don’t have magic sleepy pills to make me fall asleep, so I have finally dragged myself out of bed and over to my computer. What do I do when I can’t sleep? Blog, of course. 😆
I do have a photo to share, while I’m am it. Sometime after midnight, I finished the 6th and final blackwork biscornu, complete with over 65 step-by-step pictures to create a comprehensive tutorial. Seriously, if you can’t finish a biscornu by the time you make it through this tutorial, i’ve done something wrong. 😉
So, here’s the last blackwork biscornu (notice I qualified that as the last blackwork biscornu; there will be more in the near-ish future):
I might just have to keep this one for myself, as it is my favorite out of the blackwork designs that I stitched.
And now, with nothing left to say and no sleep overcoming me yet, I’m off to go kit up some more things to stitch, fondle some stash and maybe take a few pictures of some scissors… 😈
Blogging and stitching are my favourite past times even when I can’t sleep. If you’re not sleeping, why not doing something productive? 😉
And the biscornu looks great. 🙂
What a lovely biscornu! Do keep it for you, it is so you – purple and “celtic”! 😀
Hope you’ll sleep better next night. As you may imagine my sleep has been just terrible over the last few days – I hardly slept at all on my first night back from the conference. Thankfully, I did get a good night’s sleep last night! 🙂 Hope you’ll be getting the same feeling of relief tomorrow morning! 🙂
Jenna, your tutorial will be beloved – so many people say they have trouble with the french in the other tutorial that I have seen about on the net (personally I didn’t have a problem). Good on you!
So sorry you’ve been plagued by insomnia. I do sympathize! But you surely put your time to good use!
I slept in on Sunday — got up & made breakfast — then, went back to bed. So, i know why i couldn’t sleep last night.
I stayed up to watch the pbs soundstage program featuring Train. Then, did more stitching on my game board SAL – which i hadn’t touched in months
Your blackwork piece is awesome. Of course you should keep one!! Esp if it is your favourite
Well if you are making a tutorial there may be hope for me after all!
This is a nice one Jenna.
I’m just awaiting your instructions for making one of these things and I’ll give it a go, I’d love to be able to make one.
Hurray, I’ll be sure to keep a copy of your tutorial once it’s up, Jenna!
Sorry you haven’t been sleeping – but you’ve made some good use of the time. 😀
I spent several years being up at that hour 4 or 5 nights per week, so feel your pain. Hope you can get some rest soon. Then stop that insomnia stuff. Makes a person too tired! 😉
