A Little Bit of Happiness is finished! This project turned out to be a "bigger" project than I
thought it would be. Jan also has finished hers, do take a look at her lovely finish!
I have used heavier threads than the designer suggested for most of this project, and, therefore have run out of threads twice! I also ran out of beads. The joys of working from stash!
I did not want to go across town to my LNS just for a few beads, so instead I used a different color for the beads in the center diamond and a different thread color as well.
And, I didn't care for the look of these very shiny Magnifica beads using the pattern that Peggy designed for the center diamond area. Instead, I redesigned it to be the same style as the corners. I actually like that though and DH says it looks like it was supposed to be that way. High praise indeed.
I have made considerable progress on A Little Bit of Happiness. So has Jan, check hers out too! It's so fun to watch the different color schemes develop!
I've had a bit of trouble with this pattern, figuring out the positioning of the different elements. I made a mistake somewhere and didn't want to spend hours trying to find it & fix it, so I'm just adjusting everything to compensate. So, mine is a bit different, but probably not really noticeable.
I had to go back & put in the borders, which took awhile! But now I'm on a roll.

| Peggy's colorway |
"A Little Bit of Happiness" by Peggy Carstens is the CyberPointers meeting project for the meeting we just had. This project is from ANG's Chapter Project Book. I don't have much of a start, but I did choose my colors (in my comfort zone), got the basting done & got a fairly good start on the center diamond. The canvas is Vintage Sage Green/Green.
