First Post of My Blog

I am stitching HAED's Soul Mates by Anne Stokes.  The first page is almost completed and I will be snapping a photo of it very soon. 
It is being stitched on 18 count blue Davos fabric, 2 over 2.  You may be asking why blue fabric.  Well, Davos is a little expensive and I found a yard of fabric on ebay for only $5.00!  Besides, the whole pattern will be covered with floss so no blue will show through the stitches.  Hopefully!
This is what it will look like once I'm finished:

This is such a great pattern!  I really love the dark against the light floss and so far it doesn't have a huge amount of confetti stitches.  OMG, I tried stitching a Mystic Stitch pattern and every stitch was a different color floss and I ended up with this huge pile of floss on the back.  It was horrible.  After the stitching half of the first page, I gave up and started a new pattern.
