"So, What's Your Favorite Font?"

The bookmark from a couple of posts earlier is about a third of the way done now, in terms of finishing the white background, so I decided to take a break on it for a bit. No pictures of its background progress until it's fully finished, I'm thinking.

But hey, taking a break doesn't have to mean a stitching hiatus! So I decided to stitch a little gift for one of my newer friends. It ended up being his name, since I wasn't sure of what other options I had. So questions were awkwardly asked and (very quickly) answered.
"What's your favorite colour?"
"Indigo."
"Aaaand... Are you crazy enough to have a favorite font?"
"Harrington!"
"Oh. Okay. You answered that rather quickly."
"Indeed."

And so it was.
A pattern was created and letters were stitched. I think it took around seven hours total, but I'm not sure.
I forgot to take a photo of its framed glory, though -- oops. The best I've got is this phone image with a horrifying attempt at lightening the edges of an obvious flashlight shine.

I swear it looks better than this.
Anyway, that's where I've been. Messing with the bookmark's background, and stitching this. And I still have more projects/gifty things to work on. Whee!
Just thought I'd update whoever's reading.~
