Martina, hope you get to feeling better soon! That is such a drag to get sick and have that mess up your plans.
I'm taking a break from the LA - got a bit more than one more pass and I'll have the first pair done. I had planned using purple thread, but discovered I didn't have any that matched the purple batik - so I went with light cream instead and think it will be much nicer -so that is a good thing. I'm going to use this color for all of them, that will make things easier.
I took some pictures, but left my phone on with the LA.
