Train of Dreams, june 18th

I am stitching on the Train of Dreams every day. I am having some time off before starting my summer job, so I wont be making such fast progress after next week. But I guess every gridd of 10x10 is a progress. It is more important to get a nice result, me think.

I ordered a Q-snap from 123stitch.com and I have now switched my wooden hoop with this magnificent q-snap frame. It keeps the tension just right. Unfortunatly I don´t have some kind f stnad for it, so at the moment I am usning some stacked puzzle boxes to put the frame on to be able to work with both hands. This solution also lets me not hold the frame which is quite heavy.

The design of the ToD is so wonderful! I love the colours and every stitch has it''s own purpose, really. Even f it is alot of confetti!

I am at the moment, however, fighting with a nice way to start and end threads. I find it all to be a big mess and time consuming, unfortunatly...
