WIP Pics

Having traveled late at night to and from Vermont I managed to avoid the holiday traffic. I spent a good portion of the long weekend stitching on a few of my many WIP’s.

I signed up for this weekend’s Ornament SAL because I knew that it would get me to finish the stitching on another ornament from the JCS 06 ornament issue. When I saw this design in the magazine I loved it, probably because I am partial to all things sampler.

"Sampler Noel" by Fancy Work

I am stitching the Brightneedles “Dollhouse” on 32 ct over one. This is probably why I do not often reach for it when grabbing something to stitch! Seeing that I have not stitched on it in quite some time I decided to dedicate some time to it and stitched the items in the rooms. You see how little I got done? Oh well, my “exchange pieces” were calling me and, given that the deadlines are looming, I responded. I stitched on my 4th of July exchange piece, also done over one! I won’t be showing a picture of that just yet.

Pictured below are just a few other WIP’s that are stored in my stitching bag.

"Regatta" by Cross-eyed Cricket

"Halloween Fairy" by Mirabilia

My son is on the High School Crew Team so when I saw "Regatta" I knew immediately that it was a "must have" ~ I have yet to see another design related to rowing.

All in all I did have a productive “stitching” weekend. Sometimes I wish that I could be like those that must finish one project before starting another ~ that will never happen, there are just too many wonderful designs out there calling my name.

Speaking of designs… my order from Lekker Threads AND from M Designs was in my mailbox when I returned. Yes, I want to start on all of them tonight, but I will not. The next ornament SAL will probably have me stitching one of the Name Trees that I got for my boys. These are really great and I am sure that I will be ordering more as they would make nice gifts.

I do hope that you all had a relaxing and productive holiday weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Until next time…
