It has been over a week since I've last updated my blog. In this time, Laurel's stitchery has confirmed that they will be mailing out my DMC six stranded floss and Size 28 tapestry needles, come this Monday. Also, I have contacted Nordic Needle about the status of my special ordered fabric (25 count lambswool Jobelan), and they tell me that it still hasn't come in. They are apparently also waiting on my scroll frame to come in as they were completely cleared out of stock. While I was with customer service, I also ordered myself some lovely 20 count ivory Lugana that was on sale. I'm not really concerned about the length of time it is taking my order from Nordic Needle to come in as I had meant to start the HAED once I had my Zodiac chart completed. This experience has taught me to order supplies a month in advance just so that I am not faced with any last minute shopping frustrations. Right this moment, however, I am content to wait.

Speaking of the Zodiac chart, I have now completed 95% of all of the cross stitching in this project done in old gold. All that remains to be done in this colour is some back-stitching, but that would be the last step of the project. Therefore, I currently have all the little frames for the zodiac signs to sit in stitched and ready. I wish I could post a picture of what it looks like right now. I found my Sony digital camera, but discovered that the data transfer cable got misplaced when my family moved a few months back. I will be visiting Canada Computers sometime this week to purchase a few items for my brother. I'll pick up a cable for my camera at the same time.
