Pick up a penguin...

I did... and I stitched on it. One of his pals popped over to see how things were going.

A WIP & A Finish

A very late and quick stitching update on a Sunday evening. This is the piece I've just finished a rotation on: Midsummer Night's Dream stitched on Karma by Silkweaver.


And my second finish of 2010 - a small freebie from DMC that I've had hanging around for at least 5 years not completed.

I don't normally stitch things, but I'm like a bear with a sore head in the morning before my coffee so this design appealed to me

I'm so EXCITED!!!!

and I just can't hide it...
Planned Itinery for my trip to the US in 15 days:
29th - arrive Atlanta
30th - drive to Raleigh via Charlotte - hopefully catch up with Kristin
31st - Drive to Washington DC via Richmond
1st - Day in Washington DC
2nd - Drive to New City via Philadelphia - hopefully catch up with M2
3rd - Day in NYC
4th & 5th undecided yet
6th - Drive to Newark to fly home
I only wish I had at least another week to do some more travelling. We may diverge from this route to meet up with some friends.

Thinking about my list of WIPs

And I decided I could start one new thing for every two finishes. So far in 2010 I've finished one thing - the Peacock Stitching Chair, so that means I have to finish one more thing before I can start a new one.

I keep thinking about what I am going to start when I get that finish under my belt, but I do know that finishes this year will probably be few and far between because most of my WIPs are big projects.

In the meantime I am going to work through my rotation, I'm currently working on Midsummer Night's Dream

Stitching update and another wintry pic

First another wintry picture, this one of the house behind mine with the biggest icicle I've ever seen.

More snow forecast for tonight but it hasn't arrived yet so fingers crossed we escape again and I can get to work fine tomorrow.


And a stitching update to Earth Dragon.... I put this one away some time ago and have just done another 10 hours on it.
