Mouline Rouge is Done!!!!

On Wednesday night, April 15, I was determined to complete my Mouline. I watched hours of my favorite TV programs, didnt watch the clock, and stitched! I only had 1 1/2 motifs to go!! When I was done, it was 12:50 am. Not to bad!!! I am absolutely thrilled to have this piece done!!!! Can you believe, that I used 30 skeins of WDW Confederate Grey for the motifs and 4 skeins of WDW Tin Roof for the letters/numbers. I used 2 stands over 2, I like it fuller. I am glad I had enough!! I couldnt be more pleased with the turn out!! I hope you enjoy it too!

What about Mouline???

I havent forgotten about Mouline!! It has been a rough week, not stitching that much. But, I have made some progress since the last pic a few weeks ago!! I only have 5 1/2 motifs to complete yet, and a few letters/numbers. I am keeping my fingers crossed, but I can't make any promises!! An update was an order though!

Moving right along!

I took a look at this blog last night, and realized that I haven't posted any more progress pictures of Mouline in a while, and looking at my piece, I think it is high time!! What a difference 12 days makes!! It is almost finished!!

Some progress!

While I am supposed to be stitching up a STORM.....I have not been stitching enough!!!!! As many of you know, Florida calls me, in more ways then one!!!! So, the top pics are of some palm trees and my foot in the Atlantic ocean, while in Miami. I cant tell you the specific temperature of the water, but I can hear my Dad yell for some SOAP!!!!! It is outstanding!!! March!!!! Whoopee!! I only went in to my thighs yesturday, because I had a dress on, but it was worth it for sure!! Today, we went to the Keys, and it was just as nice. The beaches there are a little more "rocky", but, I did manage to lay on my towel for a bit!! My husband did wonder who was "whiter", ME or the BEACH??!!!!! LOL!! But onto bigger and better things!! We did go into the water, and saw a few tiny fish, even a baby blow fish!!! How exciting is that??!!! Some crabs in there beautiful home, walking in the shallow water along the shore. Amazing. It was about 85 today. As you all know, that I am NOT complaining!!! I had on my bikini, and was loving life!!!!

Mouline as you can see, even from a post last month, that I am making progress. Because of where I am, I am not making the progress I would like to be making, although it is still early in the game! I will continue to work my tail off and stitch stitch stitch. I am VERY pleased on how it looks though!!! I really really love the Quaker pieces, and look forward to working on many more in the future!!! But for now, dinner and a nice cold one is calling!!!!
