A quick update...

So, a fast and furious update here. I sent out my squares to Heidi B. today. Last minute as always but I think they will be worth the wait. Hopefully she likes them. I've almost finished the stitching on the 3rd of my PIFs. When I have all six done, I will finish them and then mail them out.

I haven't worked on SB Potting Shed since the beginning of the year, but I thought I'd show the minimal progress I made since the last showing.

Also have made very little progress on L*K Love My Cat. But it's a pic.

Here's the latest on Celtic Spring. I'm in the swirls of the skirt now. Hadn't worked on it for awhile as I went on a smalls kick, but I pulled it out earlier this month and put a couple hours into it.

Speaking of smalls, I have posted a few finishes on my finishing journal blog. Check it out if you have a chance. Anyway, gotta run.

Von said...

With all your busyness, I'm impressed with how much stitching you're able to fit in. :D

Wow. I too am going to school for nursing. Right now I'm getting all of my pre-req's out of the way in the pre-health program. It's soooo competitive here in Mass, prolly in Oregon as well. The school that I'm attending offers a 2yr asc. RN, but they only accept 55 out of 855 per year!
I am new to the world of stitching and have been browsing various blogs to try and gain some knowledge and get some tips / ideas. I originally started with a stamped, then counted “kits”. I’m working on my 2nd chart and have noticed some big differences in floss types and quality.
My Cross Stitch Mentor has told me that I’m ready to graduate from Aida, but I really like Aida. Maybe it’s just beginner’s comfort???
If you would answer my question… What type of fabric or fabrics do you prefer and why? Brands and counts?
I would appreciate any advice, thanks!

For someone who has been really busy, you've definitely put in some stitching time ;o) Great finishes Sonda!

WendyJo said...

Hi Sonda,

How are things???

Love trolling down your blog post
and seeing all the really cool and
very pretty stitching projects
that you've been working on.

I've not yet tried to stitch a
Shepherd's Bush design, but I
do like the look of them. And
your Potting Shed project is
really cute. Very pretty colours.

Nice to see Celtic Spring out for
a spin too. A little bit here...
a little bit there....and other
things in between to keep from
getting tired of her. It works!

Your little smalls finishes are
great too.

Hope school, work and home life
are well and that you're not
overdoing it too much. There's
just not enough hours in the day,
is there???

Are you getting any signs of Spring
down where you are??? We've just
had a one day thaw and warm temps
and now we're switching back to
nippy, cold temps and strong winds.
One more month until Spring officially arrives....if we last
that long!

Cheers!
