Soflty Feathered in danger of Alien Abduction

I keep working on Softly Feathered.  It is a fun piece, but I am ready to move to something else.  Do you know the feeling?  A piece is close to being done, but it seems to be taking forever!!  Maybe that is why I have so many UFO's.  (Which is the reason for the title for this blog...My ds's sense of humor.)

Building Blocks are Done

After several tries, I was able to figure out that there was a mistake on the chart.  It wasn't me!  Carol was nice and sent me a free pattern.  I look forward to stitching it.  I love the next stitch which is Byzantine.  Now I need to serious look for beads and get all the tent stitch done in the middle.

I am Not a Perfectionist

I managed to stitch the Eterna Silk on my butterfly on Spring Splendor piece.  It is not perfect.  My silk is not laying flat.  But I did leave it.Why?  I could have ripped and restitched a million times and I still would not have gotten it smooth.  It did get better towards the end, but I was about ready to pitch the whole piece.  But I reminded myself that I like the long/short satin stitch (or used to in crewel) and there was some cool couching.  So once I find my beeswax I will couch the gold around the butterfly and start on the tulip again.  But I do need it quiet and I do need time.  Does anyone sell that?

Quick Post

I have made some progress on Softly Feathered.  But who would have guessed that teens would take up so much time?  Got to love them though!

March WIPopalypse

I have been stitching a little on Softly Feathered, but not enough for a new post.  None at all on Spring Splendor!  But I have finished a flower on my Agecroft Sweet Bag.  Hopefully I will have a finish to post next month.

Because I have no Other Projects....

 My dd and I went to the library and painted fabric.  I have a plan for this stuff, but I really don't have time.  So why did I start a new project?  Must be a little crazy...

 This is the one dd made:

Great beginnings!
