Fairy Hill Update

I worked on this for the last 4 days and right now this section is not finished and hardly any backstitch.  It looks a bit like a blob but progress is still progress.
I am making myself not work on Sleeping Beauty before my WIPs at least get a bit of attention.  So today I will pull out Fancy Fairy, because she is one that I can't even remember when I last worked on her.

What's A Stitcher To Do?

I have 7 wips and I don't want to stitch on any of them.  Right now I just sit and stare at them or spend the last 2 days on the net instead of stitching.

So I am going to do the only thing I can do in this situation... I'm going to start JE's Sleeping Beauty.

I want to say thank you for the ppl who take the time and have been leaving me such nice comments as I reallu enjoy reading them.  And 2 more followers to my blog... I feel special whenever someone feels that my little space here is worth reading.

A Small Update

Now that I have completed PR Part 1 I am going to work on Autumn Flowers for awhile.  The more I stitch on it, the more I like it.
















We have major construction one one of our intersections and this sign they put up always makes me smile, so I thought I would share it with you.














The beginning of August is my 31st birthday and I have decided to celebrate by finally just getting over my fears, and as a present to myself, and with bday money I am going to but myself some 18 count and all the threads needed for my first HAED.

I will only be placing the order after my bday and so will only show what going to stitch once I have all the threads and am ready to start.

PR Mystery Sal P1 Finished

Just finished and its been lovely to work on.

The border was a bit tricky and I had to frog twice, but it was well worth it as it's soooo pretty.

The merallic didn't show so well as it doesn't sparkle or shine.  Next time I will have to try take it in the sun to see if it improves it.

I have substituted the PTB with DMC Metallics so the colours might not be exact but hopefully in the long run it will look good.

Goals

Don't usually set goals for myself because as soon aa I set them, I break them.

But I was looking at my 2012 FO's and was shocked to see that most of my finishes were small and the 2 larger ones were ones I started in 2011.

So for the rest of the year I will try do 12 in 2012.  So far if my count is correct I have 8 done and so I need to finish 4 more.

It sounds doable to me as 1 of the WIPs has to be completed this year anyway.

1.  Autumn Flowers - for my MILs birthday later in the year.
2.  Hocus Pocus - I am allowing myself 1 new item.
3.  Mythical Muse - She is halfway done
4.  Fairy Hill - it is also about half way done and I want to finish it so that I can start a new CutIThru design.
