Today I was able to work on the Derby Cross stitch. It is unusual for me to have time during the week. I did not have to get to work until later in the day, which allowed me to relax for most of the day. Even though tiredness came over me, I knew sleep was not going happen. Below is the current photo of Derby.
I am getting towards the end of the first row. I am on page 7, 4th column. The sky color is getting darker at this point. It is nice to see another blue color!
That was a good amount stitched for today. I also was walking my dog, finishing laundry and made lunch in between the stitches.
I made myself tea.
Here is the tea from Simple Loose Leaf: Namring Estate Darjeeling
From the brochure to describe this tea:
The description is Darjeeling tea is from Darjeeling district in West Bengal India. This tea is a black tea. It has a slight spiciness. The brochure from Simple Loose leaf wrote: “that the spiciness is described as Muscatel. “
It was a nice tea to drink. This is on my favorite list.
Until this weekend, which I hope I can find a solid time of stitching and this time, without a headache as last few weekends had.

I’m loving the color blending in the sky; it reminds me of Kreinik’s confetti metallics.
I’ll have to take a look at that.
They’re beautiful threads, but murder to work with. Confetti Pink is my favorite of them. (Their current list: http://www.kreinik.com/shops/Blending-Filament.html)
