WIP Number Fifteen

Restarted 1/30/11

I know Vickie will be happy to see that I found Inspirations and Vibrant Vista in the craft closet and dusted them off to work on again.  Just don't bug me about my progress, I only get to work on each one for one day a month.  But, since I only have thirty projects to work on, yesterday was January 31st and was a free day, so you will be happy to know that I worked on my HAED yesterday too.

Sigh, once again I am sorry that some of the pictures are blurry, I am going to have to either figure out what is wrong with my digital camera or get a new one.  Any suggestions on a good digital camera?  What features should I look for?

So, now I am off to stitch for today which means I will be stitching on the first project I started back on January 1st, Rosewood Manor ABC Tapestry, the letter "M".

Hope you all have a great day and stay safe in the terrible winter weather we are having.  Hope the groundhog behaves tomorrow.  Also tomorrow is my grandson's fifth birthday -- Happy Birthday Maddox!!!  Maddox was born on what would have been my Daddy's 80th birthday -- Miss You Daddy!

Love in Stitches,

Coleen



WIPs Six through Ten

Having now stitched on all fifteen WIPs I have selected for the Stitching Challenge, I can post pics of them.  WIPs six through ten are here, WIPs eleven through fifteen will follow in the next post.

WIP Number Six

WIP Number Seven

WIP Number Seven

 WIP Number Eight

WIP Number Nine

 WIP Number Ten

Stitches, Stars and Stripes

Blue Ribbon Designs

 WIP Number Ten

Restarted 1/25/11

I have to admit, it has been lots of fun to pull out some of these WIPs and start working on them again.  And stitching on a different project every day helps to not become bored with any one project.  The main problem with working on a different project every day though is... all of the project bags and accessories stacked around my stitching area in the living room.  I think I am going to look for a decorative basket (it will have to be HUGE) to put by my stitching chair to at least keep them more tidy.

Until next time,

Love in Stitches,

Coleen
