Winter Woods Finished!

Ta dah!  It is not in the frame yet, but my boys said they would help with that.  It is a gift for my MIL.  The beads really added a lot.

Needs Beads

It has been over a month since I posted a picture of  Winter Woods.  It still needs the white floss and then the beads.  I will get this done for Christmas! Thanks for all the comments on Heart of Elizabeth.  I hope to get back to it soon.  It needs the jewelry that Elizabeth I wor.  A girl needs her bling!

More ripping than Stitching

First, thanks for the comments on Spring Splendor.  I hope to take some pictures and post my progress tomorrow. 
I did not make much progress on Winter Woods.  I have ripped the lower left corner twice because I miscounted.  Yes, it would make a difference.  I have to redo it as I made my crosses go in the wrong direction.  Sigh.  I think I need new glasses for these old eyes.  And better lighting.

Winter Woods-Sept 24

Not much progress, but I hope to show some new projects soon.  Hope springs eternal

Winter Woods-September

All stitching has come to a complete stop here.  Why?  My kitchen is being redone and it is canning season.  Pears, apples, tomatoes and peppers are all ripe and ready to put up.  Since I don't have a sink, I am dehydrating everything possible.  Hopefully the kitchen will be done soon and I can resume stitching. 

Winter Woods-This Month

It has been almost a month since I posted a picture of Winter Woods.  I try to stitch a little every day on it, but it is hit ans miss.
Garden Path is almost done although I have been warned that finishing the edges isn't tons of fun.  But I am too close to quit now!
I saw another Spring Splendor in progress.  It is so beautiful!  I hope to be able to stitch on mine this evening while I wait for ds at church.

Very Little Stitching

I thought I would have time for Spring Splendor, but life got in the way.
Winter Woods is slowly coming along.  I like to see the photos I have posted previously so I can really see that I have made some progress.
I wanted to post something about the new classes offered through Shining Needle Society, but my allergy medicine is fuddling my little mind.  Maybe tomorrow...

July Wipocalypse-Winter Woods

 

I have not made much progresson this piece, but I have been trying to get a few stitches in a few days each week.  I would love to finish this in time to give to my mother-in-law for Christmas.

Winter Woods

I am not stitching every day on this piece, but I do get a little done every week.

I Started a New Project....

but it ended up in The Basement.  Why?  Not really sure.  It was a bargello piece by Janet Perry for Cyberpointers and I thought it would be fun.  But I dreaded stitching on it.  It required serious counting.  I didn't want to work on it so down it went.

Here is what I did this week on Winter Woods.  Hopefully next week I will have progress on a different project!

A Little More Done

Not much progress this week, but I did get a bit done.  Keep wanting to start a new project and am trying to be good.

Winter Woods-12 Stitches a Day

Well, here is my progress on Winter Woods.  Some days I do more than 12 stitches and a few days I wasn't able to stitch at all.  But it is moving forward and I can see the beginnings of a tree.  Can you?
Softly Feathered is due next week.  I will take a picture before I mail it off.

Working on my Crazy Challenge

I realized that I will never get all 15 of my Crazy January Challenges done unless I do a little each day on some of them.  This is Winter Woods by Mill Hill.  The top picture is what I had done at the beginning of the challenge.  The bottom picture is how much I have done so far.  My goal is to put 12 stitches in a day and see what gets done at the end of a week.  Wish me luck!

January 1- Winter Woods

This is my first start for the Crazy January Challenge 2012, Winter Woods by Mill Hill Bead 

 You may have noticed that it is not on my original list.  I decided to add it when I received it for Christmas.  Little did I know that it is solid stitching.... 

I have been wondering how I am going to rotate through all my stitching.  I am guessing that after I start all these new pieces, most will go back in the box that I am storing them in and I will work one or two at a time.  For instance, I am going to return to Serpentine today once I get a chance.
