Where the HECK did February go?!?
(oh yeah… I spent them in front of the TV watching the Olympics and stitching…)
Ready for a long post? I haven’t done one of these in a LONG time. It feels good, actually.
I started this post on March 2nd, by the way, but saved it [...]

I’m participating in Stitching Olympics competitions at two separate message boards this month. Unfortunately the attempt on Life’s a Stitch for a stretch of 5×5 square stitching is off to a slower start due to a TON of frogging, but I’ll be bringing that piece into my rotation this week.
Over on The Wagon, however, [...]

I’m participating in The Wagon’s Rotation Relay for the Stitching Olympics, so my rotation this month is a very odd one for me.
The relay guidelines are to work two hours on each piece, then move on. I’ve decided to include ALL of my current WIPS and UFOs in my rotation for the month, and I’ll [...]

Where the HELL did the first week of January go to?!?
So I’m thinking of what goals I want to focus on, both for this month and for this year. Here’s what I’ve come up with… although knowing me, I’ll probably completely change my mind mid-year. This is just for stitching. [...]

(okay… maybe a teensy bit of one)
One of the things I’ve decided is causing some of the stall in my stitching is the fact that I keep sticking on the same half dozen projects. I’ve been telling myself that I’m not allowed to start anything else in my stash unless I finish the projects [...]

With December speeding by, I’m trying to get a sense of the things I’ll be doing project-wise next year.  I’d like to get a general plan together before Christmas hits, purely for that part of me that’s a type-A personality.
In my previous entry, I listed the random Stich-a-Longs I’ve joined in some form.  Today I [...]

Where the heck has this year gone?!?
Via Rotation Stitchers, here’s the monthly update on where I’m at and where I’m going…
My goals for November were…
1) Finish an ornament for the TW ornie exchange Yes!
2) Stitch 10 hours on Floral Bellpull Yes! Just squeaked this [...]

For October, I wanted to:
1) pick out and finish an ornament for the TW Ornament exchange  Yes! And I’m working on it now.
2) Finish the over-one cartouches on Egyptian Sampler  Done!
3) Update my stitching website pages with photos and progress  Didn’t have time. Too busy stitching!
4) Stitch 10 hours on Cats on a [...]

Hooray!

It’s my first finish in over 3 years. It feels so good to have something accomplished. *bounces*
The original sampler was created by Sherezada. I hand drew my copy staring at my computer screen with graph paper. Erich requested a red lightsaber, and I decided to do a purple one… because purple [...]

My office is closed for Columbus Day, so I get to settle into a three day weekend – a much needed three day weekend. I’m still coughing from the cold I got during my vacation week, but it definitely is improving. Hopefully I can get a couple of the things done around [...]
