First Hardanger Complete
I finished me first Hardanger Embroidered coaster. It did not take very much time, but my time has been short this week; so it took me longer than it should have.
It came out OK. There were a few slipped stitches and I am not sure if I cut it out right. Plus, my tension wasn’t consistant. It is hard to tell by the picture, but some of the needle weaving was tight and the beginning was loose. I may throw this one away as a practice piece and do it over again.
I love the project and it is very delicate, but I don’t know if it will fit my family’s lifestyle. It looks a bit funny with a BK cup on it. 
This week has been very busy house hunting. My husband has been a great sport visiting the different builders and manufacturers; and gathering all the information. Our research is piling up. I think we have it narrowed down, but we are still looking at all the options. We want to make the best decision we can.
I have wanted to upgrade our living arrangements for close to 8 years ~ I am so excited that we are this close. In 6 months I should be in a new home, a bigger home ~ but still no sewing room. It is not in the budget; BUT, my son is 14 and I already plan on taking over his room once he moves out! ha ha ha.

Your hardanger project is lovely. Keep it so you can see your progress on your next one. And thanks for sharing it with us. I don’t know anyone who does that particular craft so I’ve enjoyed seeing it. And I like your fast food choice. I’m a bookkeeper for Burger King and listen to you at work so I thought that was cute! Best wishes in your home search. Hope all goes well and quickly
You are definately fancier with your fast food than my family! Don’t throw it out because it isn’t perfect. My daughter saw me do that with a craft project and the next time she was coloring she threw it out because it wasn’t perfect. So if you do pitch it, make sure that there are no witnesses! It looks lovely. We are our harshest critics.
Your hardanger looks great! Don’t throw it away.

Loved the hardanger. I think it’s great that you are so fancy with your fast food cups.
I took over my daughter’s room when she moved out, so excellent plan there. Enjoying your podcasts, looking forward to more.
