We had an exceptional warm indian summer here, but now it looks like rain. Everyone here is a bit grumpy because of that, but all I can think is: yay, stitching time. (Off course, I can't say that out loud) Are we crazy? ;)
Looks like a very good start on Middle Earth! Gridding the fabric should really help your progress. Have you watched the Game of Thrones series yet? I read the books many years ago and love the series. I'm now tempted to re-read the books!

Wow, you made a great start on Middle Earth. I got that chart, too, like many of us, but I didn't make a start on it yet. I have another planned start (kitting it up these days) and I just don't want to have so many projects going at once ;-) But I guess it shouldn't be to long until I start. Maybe I'll get some threads for Christmas and make a start for my birthday in January ;-)
Sounds like the perfect night! :D Great start on Middle Earth, that's a whole lot done already! I think in appreciation of you stitching this for him, BF should buy you a nice gift. ;)
And Cat, I got the wire here: http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemdetail.pl?item=123-4499
It's REALLY easy to use, it just takes a bit to grid everything out. Good luck!

I decided to grid up Middle Earth as soon as I got my gridding wire. It was such a good decision! If it's at all possible, I'm enjoying stitching even more now! I know that I'll be gridding up my other projects from now on. I'll be working on Riding the Wave this week. I want to finish those horses and get them done.
So this weekend I was stitching up Middle Earth, Boyfriend was reading Game of Thrones, and I was torturing him with Bridezillas. Poor soul managed to sit through two episodes before breaking down and refusing to watch more. I think that's not half bad.
Anyway, here goes. The start of Middle Earth:

We're getting our first rain of the season. I'm sitting in my bed, cozy, watching Paranormal State in oversized pajamas while the cold night air streams in through the window and I listen to the sound of the rain. I missed this.

That sounds fabulous, Ewa. I love being all toasty in the cold and listening to the rain come down. It's awesome.

That sounds wonderful. Where did you get your stitching wire? I've been looking for that for ages, but no stores in Denmark seem to have it. :)
