Start of a long weekend!

It sure has been a short week! Tomorrow is a public holiday and, like many, many other people, I'm taking Friday off! That means a four day weekend - how lucky can you get :) I hope it is going to provide lots of stitching and relaxing time.

I have been working on Mary Wigham again - I'm really enjoying it again after a few weeks break!
My aim for now is to complete all the sides - only one to go :) After that I will decide if I want to try to complete the piece, or if it needs another 'rest'.

I am also still working on Scheherazade, but being a Heaven and Earth design, there isn't much progress to show yet. The curious thing is that I am enjoying it so much, even though it is still just a big patch of colour!

Until next time, Happy Stitching!

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.

Sunny Monday

Hi all! What a lovely day we had today - sunny and slightly warm - a pleasant change from the past week of storms! I am making (slow) progress on Mary Wigham. I am introducing more of my colours now and I still love it. I don't know how this piece is going to turn out, since I picked my own colours and I'm using it where it appeals to me. This should at least keep me interested in the piece, which is good - I have a chronic disease when it comes to starting new projects!

I plan to add a slide show to my blog to showcase some of my completed projects from my "stitching career". The photos will be added slowly but surely:) I have quite a few to take, since I have been stitching since I was four years old - thanks to my mom!
