Sampler SAL weekend

I worked on a Sampler SAL this weekend. I actually got a little bit done as well. Amazing what happens when my dh is out of town. heh. Since I did so little on Tranquility Mystery when it was a mystery that is the one I am working on.

If I keep working on this one each SAL I might get halfway done by the end of the year. *snerk*

Today I am working on a little stitchy something for my SecretStitcher that I send to. Next month is the last mailing, already. That went fast.

Christmasy finish

I finished this one on Monday. And am now finally posting a picture of it. Wow am I speedy!

I got the chart and the yummy silks from my secret stitcher.

I am NOT so happy with the picture, because the bird on the right is really a beautiful vibrant red colour. *sigh* Silly dark weather, not letting me take a decent picture.

And another RR down

I have now finished my Mira RR as well. WOOT for getting my obligation pieces down! I am on a roll.

I stitched Winter in My Garden. I choose this one because I have been deciding what to put in my new flower bed my hubby and son made me this last year. I have finally decided!

I am going to put in lavender. Lots of it. Maybe three or four different kinds. It should do really well there and it will smell wonderful!

Tonight I will be working on a small. Then I will be stitching on Annette's UFO. It has such beautiful thread!

HAED RR pics

TA-DA The pictures I promised.

That is the full piece.

Here is a close up of the part that I stitched.

Lots of greens. But it is pretty. And I can't wait to see a picture of the entire thing when it is done.

yipppie!

The Never-ending-HAED-RR is done! The one I seem to have had since dawn first touched land. I have finished my part. Finally! UGH! I don't know why it seems to have taken so long. It was not a hard part to stitch. I made no mistakes, there were no frogs.... oh.. I know... December! holidays! And I had no time to sit down to stitch! I had two RR's and a model to get done. Also, a bit more obligation stitching to do. May I never have to do that again.

But, done now. And it will be in the mail soon. A picture will be forth-coming.

new year...new start

It was the start of a new year... and so I had to have a new start. I started Houses of Hawk Run Hollow yesterday. Now there are two boxes. OOOOooooo. Exciting! heh. If I am really really lucky, by the end of the month I may even have the rest of the boxes done. We will have to see.

I really hope that next December I never have any obligation stitching. UGH! I had so many other things I had to be doing that I almost never got to my stitching at all. I feel really bad but I still have not finished my HAED rr... It just sits there guilting me. I will get it done this week. I have just about 900 stitches to go. Then I need to get cracking on my MIRA rr. I want that done ASAP. I will stop to do two SALs. One HAED and one sampler one. The rest of the month I will spend in on StarMaiden. Well, the HAED sal I will be working on her as well.... but she is my main goal. I want her done this year. This is... year 3 I believe that I have been messing with her.... and she really needs to be getting done. When I need breaks from the confetti and all... I will do boxes on HOHRH. I guess those are my goals for Jan. Now... off to see if I can reach them!

Welcome 2008. May the new year be full of good stitching and empty of frogs!
