Finished finished!

 Eat, Sleep, Stitch

Cherrywood Designs

my personal motto!

Somehow on Monday I was motivated to do a little finishing... I mean a little.  These two pieces had been all sewn up for weeks now, all I needed to do was stuff them and sew them up!  How lazy have I been????  So Monday I pulled them out and just got them done!

a little something for Todd, the fisherman in my life!

April WIPocalypse Report

The full moon is here and the World is coming to an end so its time to kill those WIPs!  Here's my progress report for what I've worked on in the last moon cycle.

I have been VERY good and I have worked on The Accolade every day.  Each day before I've picked up my focus project, I've completed a 10x10 area on The Accolade.  This BAP has been moving along nicely since I've started doing this religiously.

 The Accolade - March

 The Accolade - April

Since my last report I've started working away at Ink Circles Winter Mandala.  The filling in is taking longer than I thought it would.  I honestly thought I would fly with this piece once all the black was stitched.  For some reason I'm having trouble "getting into" this project.  For some reason the colours came out very faded in this picture.

Seasonal Mandalas - Winter

I've also puttered with Spring as well, putting in the odd thread length of black outlining.

I had a Happy Dance today!  This project was one of my January 15.  I had been carrying it around as my travel project and suddenly had the urge to get this one out of my stitching bag/purse!

WIPocalypse Full Moon Update

As you know from yesterday's post, I decided to jump in with both feet and join the other big SAL going on out there in Stitching Blogland, WIPocalypse!  Definitely something I need to do since I'm on the verge of completing 15 new starts plus I already had 2 LARGE projects on the go!  I'll definitely need to do some WIP-busting once the Crazy Challenge ends this Sunday!

So let me show you the progress I've made on all my WIPs to date :

Enchantment of Winter - this will become my focus piece again once the Crazy Challenge is over, first on my WIP-busting agenda!

The Accolade - this is one of my long term WIPs with no rush or plans to finish it in the near future, its over one and 12 pages long!

Seasonal Mandalas - these will be my second focus piece once EOW is finished

Snowman 2010

Polar Friends Day & Night

Snow White

French Country Scardey Cats

Gone Fishing

So this is the most current up-to-date progress on all of my WIPs to date!

Crazy Challenge Day 11

Oooh!  We're counting down the final days of this challenge, tick-tock!  Also I'm running out of projects to pick from!

Gone Fishing by Jane Greenoff

Stitched on Mystery Fabric

Stitched with DMC

Tonight's new start was Jane Greenoff's Gone Fishing.  It was a little chart and thread kit a friend sent me years ago and had to meant to start it... years ago LOL!  So I'm using a random fabric for this piece, I couldn't tell you what it is just "mystery fabric" as I like to call it.  I think this is going to stitch up quickly as I got quite a bit done of this salmon with distracted stitching (this means I alternate between stitching, reading blogs and playing silly games!  Todd's an obsessed fisherman (like I don't understand obsession...not) so this little Salmon is for him.

I decided tonight to join in on the WIPocalypse fun over at Mesai's Blog!  Since the full moon was two days ago, I'll post my update tomorrow... of course a lot of my WIPocalypse list is going to look quite familiar!!!  Oh my all these SALs and Challenges what a fun year this is going to be!
