Very Interesting!

So I am still plugging away on Ladybug Lake and have finished about half of the stitching on it. Yeah! But while I work on it I am still thinking about the next project which will be the Ladybug Leaves. I think I have a design for it to work on that I am pretty happy about, but will have to flesh it out with some additional preliminary sketches. There is so much work involved with diagraming these designs that I am beginning to worry about the colors of variegated floss I have initially picked out. Never having worked with them, except to stitch a small few stitches on a cloth, I am uncertain about how the different colors will work with each other. In the meantime, I have found some ThreadWorx variegated floss that is just gorgeous but don't know how they would work with the beads. Maybe this is just me having doubts about the project period, it is hard to say right now. Maybe I am thinking too much about the two Ladybug projects being connected instead of being separate entities. Who knows. I'll continue to mull this further.

In the meantime I ran across another design I made along with the vintage brooch to use with it and now am thinking on that one as well. Oh, and the Sapphire Peacock design is also hovering in the wings with a design that needs serious revision since I decided to include faceted hematite gemstones on it. Ugh! This must be my week for being overwhelmed. I had a brilliant idea for using a fabulous fiber with Ladybug Leaves as a background but since I now don't know if that is on the right track, I may not get to use what I ordered.

A bright spot is that I ordered all 38 of the new colors of Miyuki Delica beads that hopefully will be shipped to me this week! From what I can tell these are more pastel matte versions. Very excited about that!

Decision making is never difficult for me so this just feels very odd. I think I will get my big mug of Chai tea and just work on my current project and give the others a rest for now. Letting go will more than likely produce a solution on its own without the extra fretting on my part.
