WIPs Galore

And I even have a small finish to show. The needlebook cover from LHN's Traveling Stitcher. I actually surprised myself since this is on linen and I started it Thursday evening at my LNS's sit and stitch and finished it Saturday. Stitched on 32 ct mocha linen. I can't believe how easy it was. I think I'm getting the hang of stitching on linen! Whoooooooppeeeeee. A gold star for me. :)

Speaking of the Traveling Stitcher, below is the small progress I made on Saturday afternoon while watching Gone With the Wind. I hadn't watched that movie in years and even though I remembered much of it, including the dialogue, it was the perfect movie for an afternoon of stitching.

Sunday morning I had a nasty migraine. I take meds for the migraines and they work but sometimes there's some breakthrough. There was in the afternoon. Just enough to make me feel a bit yucky. I tried stitching on my LK Tinsel for my February ornament but, as you can see, I didn't get very far. For some reason the small count fabric (this one is on 22 count over 1) was just made my eyes and head ache.

So I spent a little while adding to another work in progress, Breathing Lessons from the Sunflower Seed. Since it is 14 count aida I hoped it would be easier on the eyes. But as you can see I didn't get very far. :(

In my last post about kitting up projects in advance Debra asked "...was wondering how many projects are you stitching on? Do you just stitch one at a time? DLS "

To Debra and anyone else who is curious: I use a modified rotation. Well, I guess you could call it that. Besides the projects that you see in the photos above I have a couple more that I'm working on. So as you can see I am definitely not stitching them one at a time. :) Not much chance of getting bored. :) But this is also one of the reasons I don't seem to have that many finishes. :)

This one is in my bag that I carry to work. I'll stitch on this one while I'm on the train on my way home. And sometimes at lunch. It's been a wip for the last month so as you can see the progress on this one is slow. :)

The there's the LHN's Coming to America that I've been stitching on for the last few weeks. I did work on this one 3 nights last week. Sorry about all the wrinkles.

While I love to finish a project I also love to start them. :) Probably one reason my WIP basket is overflowing. LOL

I want to thank you all for the comments both here on my blog and in my groups. It's been fun seeing so many different ways that people prepare for a new project. Now me, I have to be sure I have plenty of projects large and small all lined up. I am glad I'm not alone in having so many waiting in the wings. Errr, baskets. :)

Until next time............

Love and stitches
