Still delusional but...

...PROGRESS!








Still hoping to have it done & framed by the end of September--that would be quite a record for me.

Coming soon (I hope)

Too busy trying to finish A Dance with Dragons this weekend to do much stitching, but I'm still under the delusion I'll get this done in time to be framed before the end of September (mostly Crescent Colors on 40ct cream to be aged when finished).

I'm back!

I finally have time to stitch again! And I've finished something!






It wasn't the most pleasant piece to return to since it's V-E-R-Y far from my usual style, but my nephew will like it. And now I get to start his pirate map which will be MUCH more fun :)

Squirrel!

I had intended to use my stitching time this weekend to finish this flower on The American Sampler:



I didn't touch it. Why? Because I worked at my LNS Saturday and they had a silk gauze class. There were so many fabulous pieces I HAD to break out my silk gauze stash and start another new project. After all, I've already been working on The American Sampler for ten years--what's another ten....

Note the FINISHED piece (The Pumpkin Sampler from Threads Through Time) on the right. I can't remember how long it's been there, but I wasn't going to do anything with it until I used the other side. After a bit of stash fondling (and determining one chart is MIA...hmm...) I decided on The Mermaid Sampler (also Threads Through Time) because I'm a sucker for ships and mermaids:



I stayed up waaaay too late working on it last night--it's too much fun!

You know things are out of hand when...

...queen stitches on 40ct are a stress RELIEVER....

I've had very little time to stitch, so it took forever to get the little strawberries done.






I'm fooling myself into thinking I can get the queen stitch flower in the upper right finished this weekend.






Place your bets now, folks....

Also, the Madness has taken me, so GO OHIO STATE, U OF A (men), ASU and UCONN (women)!

Well this is embarrassing

I've been looking for this for 4 months. Turns out it was in my stitching bag all along....

Meeting in the middle

There are very few things more satisfying to a stitcher than having a border actually meet like it's supposed to:



This would be the Stacy Nash companion piece I meant to stitch over 1 but forgot at the last minute. Ah, middle aged brain....
