Stitching Update

And Nature's Little Helper continues to slog along at it's snail's pace.

3/4 done with the current page.  I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to hit my finish goal of end of July now.  I'm planning on getting lots of stitching done today and tomorrow.  Then I have a three day weekend next week and want to get something done stitching/knitting wise (I'm looking at you, sock!).

Being the last Wednesday of the month, it's time for the monthly Sanctuary update.  I'm actually getting close to a page finish on this one!

This thing's so huge, a page finish is barely noticeable at this point. 

Off to finish a few things so I can sit and stitch the rest of the day.  Oh, and we had a small disaster here with a hellacious storm last Thursday evening.  This is what I came home to find.

No damage to my fence or house, just a mess to clean up.  I probably would have had a heart attack if I had been home when it happened, lol.  At least I no longer have to wonder if that tree could fall on my house in a hurricane or nor'easter. 

Happy Stitching,

Tamara

Nature's Little Helper Progress Update

This last week has been more hectic and I have not stitched as much as I would have liked.  Still, there is visible progress in the two weeks since I posted an update.  Why is it the last bit always seems to take the longest?

Today, I'm not feeling very ambitious.  I'd like to stitch, of course.  I've been trying to talk myself into finally getting my Morticia shawl blocked.  But, it's a hot, lazy summer day, so I really don't know if anything will get done.  I wanted to sleep in a little, but the eyelids popped open at 6AM and I couldn't get back to sleep.  Why can't that happen on workday mornings instead of my day off?  Grrrr. 

Well, let me see if I can dredge up some motivation.  Maybe some yarn and cross stitch retail therapy?  Hmmmm....  I must resist, I must...resist...I must.....look.  lol.

Happy Stitching!

Another Page Finish

I'm moving right along with Nature's Little Helper.  Now down to one full page and 4 partial pages. 

And here's my monthly update on Sanctuary of Knowledge.

I'm really looking forward to being able to devote more attention to this one soon. 

Happy Stitching

Just My Imagination

That unstitched corner seems to be getting bigger rather than smaller.  But I have an extra day next week with Memorial Day on Monday, so I hope to have a big update next week.  I will also do the monthly progress on Sanctuary of Knowledge.  I don't know what my stitching plans for Monday are yet, I will either work exclusively on Nature's Little Helper or I will divvy up my time between several projects.  As I get closer to the end of this page, I'm thinking I will be spending the day on it.  It would be nice to have a page fnish for the end of the month to keep me on track with this piece. 

I got Bunny Business back from the finisher last week:

Bunny Business
The Sweetheart Tree

Now to go enjoy the afternoon with a little stitching.

Happy Stitching!

NLH Progress

I don't feel like I've stitched on Nature's Little Helper much this week, but I do have visible progress:

I'm so ready to have this piece done, but it just seems to go on forever.  I'd put it aside for awhile, but I'm afraid I wouldn't pick it up again for a very long time.  I'm still thinking the end of July for a finish.  *fingers crossed*

So, time to get off this computer and go stitch!

Happy Stitching,

Nature's Little Helper Page Finish

22/28 pages completed!

I caved on the 50% HAED sale today.  I went in a bit of a different direction for these charts.  I got Agnes and Smoke

and The Smug Witch and Mimsy. 

I just love the colors in these, especially The Smug Witch.  This isn't helping me whittle down my to do pile...

Now I'm going to go fondle my HAED charts and organize them (again) by probability of stitching, then I'm going to try to get a few stitches in NLH. 

Happy Stitching!
