liadethorneggeWow. OMG! And other such exclamations of glee.
I have just finished the embroidery, entirely, on the black and silver coif set. The forehead cloth has been finished a while now, but the coif has been lagging behind. I set my mind on finishing it before Double Wars, which starts on Friday - in five days - and I achieved it!
I was on the phone with my laurel while I worked the last coil in ceylon stitch, counting down the last three stitches. And when it was all finally done, I cut off the thread end, I took it outside, and I photographed it, then I sent a text to Filippa (whose coif it is going to be) and then I ran outside, with both hands in the air for a Victory Lap around the house. Yes, I literally went outside, ran around the house, with my arms to the sky with a great big grin on my face.
This is an amazing feeling! And now I will make it up into a wearable coif and it will be FABULOUS! It already is. I am so very very pleased.
