After last week's post I finally settled on a WIP to work on, Michael Powell's Mini River Cottage... well I finished it Monday night! I just love the look of these and stitching them!

Stitched on: mystery fabric
Stitched with: Threadworx
Of course with the finishing of one focus project that leaves the tough decision of "what's next?". A few texts back and forth with Christin and for the moment, I've settled on Teresa Wentzler's Fortunate Traveller. I started this back on May 1, 2013 as a stitch-a-long with Bonnie, Beatrice and Christin. Of course none of us have really made any serous progress since then. I think we keep getting distracted by other projects!
I've also put a couple of more thread lengths into A Year In Chalk - June. I'm planning on putting an hour into this each day until its done or I decide to put my head down and finish it. Once this one is done, I'm caught up until I get a chance to buy/pick up July & August.

Over the weekend I also completed another ornament, and a floss ring tag. I started a second ornament, but haven't managed to find the time to complete it yet. I guess that just gives you something to look forward to next week!

Nothing exciting has been going on to share with you, I've been back to work this week after an extra-long, long weekend. Just the stitching you see here!

Oh my! I just adore that Michael Powell River Cottage! So sweet. :D
Love the Michael Powell -have a few charts of my own of his I should upgrade from the some day pile. Great finishes all round.
Your Michael Powell finish is darling, Dani! I'll bet that was a fun one to stitch, too! Such a cute ornament with the little candy cane button and I love your floss tag. You sure have been productive lately :)
Way to go on your finishes! I really like the motif you used for the floss tag. What color fiber did you use?

Congrats on lovely finishes!!:) You made lot of progress on your pieces. I have a Michael Powell mini charts book but haven't stitched any yet.
So many beautifull pieces, and lovely finishes!! good ob on them
Oh great, you finished the Michael Powell project. I love his designs because they are really original. If I didn't have so many many designs to stitch in my stash I'd certainly buy one his designs. Maybe I will one day ...
Great TW project that you pulled out And such nice ornament stitching.
You get so much done! Michael Powell is one of my favorites. That little house really turned out well. His designs are not the easiest to stitch!
Michael Powell designs always looks so full of life, great finish
Lovely projects! I've been debating about getting a Michael Powell chart booklet, and after seeing your MP finish, I can see me giving into temptation! :)
The cottage is adorable. I watched this one coming along on Instagram. Amazing what backstitching can do!
Congrats on the finishes.
Another TW!!!! WOW!
I love the cartoony look of the cottage.
Gorgeous finishes! You have been very busy. I love the Michael Powell too and the pretty Christmas ornie with the cute candy cane.
Congrats on the finishes! They all look great.
Congrats on the finishes! I know that has to make you feel really good to get those crossed off of your WIP list. They both look great. Your TW WIP is off to a great start. I know what you and the gals mean about having too many other designs distract you from current projects. They like to do that to us ;) I will enjoy seeing your progress on the TW project. Love her designs, though I only have 1 under my belt. Love your ornament. I should be getting started on those, but too many other things are calling at the moment. And the floss ring tag is so cute! And so tiny! Nice finish.
Your cottage is lovely. Is it from the little book I sent over via Kathy? I really should stitch one of the designs myself!
Fortunate Traveller is a lovely piece too. Have you been following TW's progress on Illuminata on her blog? It looks stunning and totally massive!!
Very nice finishes:)
Dani, you have been super busy on all of your projects, I am so enjoying see a Year of Chalk unfold. Also, I love the Michael Powell mini - I had not seen any of his designs before now.
I love Michael Powell's designs. The Mini River Cottage is adorable. That Theresa Wentzler design is massive! It will be a stunner when it's finished though. :)
Lovely stitching all. L.O.V.E the Powell!
Your floss ring tag is so sweet.
I love the River Cottage, in Minnesota on Lake Minnetonka, there are a few homes that have a wavy roof like the on in your sampler, I should stop and take a picture someday.
all your projects are wonderful, Is It Christmas Yet is a sweet ornament, love the candy cane button.
Blessings

You feel better right away: It might sound strange, but this could be a sign your medication isn't working the way it should.
