Quick Update Pic

A couple days of stitching has added a little more to each side of the piece. I'm thinking about a rotation, just not sure how I am going to do it just yet. I don't get to stitch everyday, so a daily rotation probably won't work. I have about 5 or so projects that I am working on. I might get out another UFO for the new Lizzie Kate Lovers blog. I'll post a pic of that later.

Happy Stitching,
Hillery

Update on a UFO

Here is a small update on Gathering Eggs from Mirabilia. I pulled this out of my UFO tote and decided that I needed some bright colors. I have been stitching smalls and samplers so much lately that this project is just what I need to cure the boredom I have been feeling. I have enjoyed putting these few stitches in and can't wait to keep going. We'll see how long I can last. Maybe I just need to start a rotation, AND STICK WITH IT. Hope to have some more updates later in the week. The first pic was how it looked when I picked it back up, the second pic is a couple days of stitching. Stitching time is severely limited these days with another baby in the house. I have been stitching mostly at nap time (I should be napping too...), and a little at night (I should be sleeping then too).
Hope you've all have a great day.
Happy Stitching,
Hillery

Part 5 Finished

Here it is, finally. Part 5 of The Sampler Life Groups SAL, Needlemania 2. I'm over halfway done, and I just need to keep myself motivated to finish it. I am definitely not a finisher, more of a starter. I am pleased with the way this is turning out. I am still working on my Mary Wigham, and the third ornament in the Little House Needleworks series. Hopefully I'll have more pics this week.
Thanks for looking,
Hillery

Bad Doggy!

I've read about this happening to a couple of other bloggers, but I didn't think it could ever happen to me. In a tired stupor last night, I just left my stitching on the couch and went to bed. When I woke this morning, I found my dog curled up on the couch sleeping, with a bit of linen sticking out from underneath her. Shooing her off the couch, I found Mary with a million tiny wrinkles, and some hair, UGH!! It just so happens that I took my iron over to my Mom's the other day to iron out some fabric for table cloths, so I don't have it, to try to fix this. I will pick it up at Mom's later and start ironing.

Here is a small update on my Needlemania 2, part 5. It's been a while since I worked on this one and I'm about half way through, so I can't give up now.

Lastly, is another small update on my Little House Needleworks Ornament of the Month 3, He's a Flake. I gave up on this one a week ago and need to pick it up and just finish it. It is so small, it shouldn't take long.
