Ink Circles Progress and Hardanger SAL

The start of a new week...again! I stitched one of the big "fishtail" corners of Book of Ink Circles by Ink Circles this week. It is my favourite block on this piece so far and was divine to stitch. I am hoping to do another small block or part of the border this month in order to keep up with my goal of finishing this piece this year.
Here is the third part of the Hardanger SAL by Mamen:
The fourth part of the SAL is already due again by the end of the week!

I think I should try to stitch and finish a small before then, so that I can at least have a finish to show. (I often find it "depressing" when you only stitch on big pieces that are nowhere near finished. A small finish always helps to boost morale and makes you eager to get back to those big pieces!)

I have my eye on a pretty little scissors fob, but I will keep you posted!

Hope you have a great week with lots of stitching time!

Some Progress on Mary Wigham

Monday again! I have made some progress on Mary Wigham SAL - I have finally completed page two! I always think I'm going to get a lot more done in a certain time frame, but I'm just too slow a stitcher :) I am still really enjoying this project, but I can hear some of my other pieces starting to call for attention.

I am very pleased with how the squirrel turned out - I changed the colouring quite a lot from the original. Page 3 doesn't seem to be too big, I hope to finish it in good time. I still have some of my colours to incorporate, so that is something to look forward to!

I think it is time to start introducing you to some of my WIPs. Be ware - there are very, very many! This project I started this year. It is a free chart by Tracy of Ink Circles and it's called the Book of Ink Circles. I saw it on Margie's blog for the first time and I absolutely loved it! I love celtic designs and I am stitching it in jewel tones - I can't wait to get back to this one - I think it is calling the loudest of all my WIPs!

Almost supper time and then (hopefully) some stitching.
