I did a lot of great stitching over the March Break, and then the tail end was one of my Timberhouse Retreats (pictures coming soon) and of course when you've been off of work for a week, it takes a bit to get back into the swing of things! (and its quite tiring)
This weekend is IHSW, and I have no plans but to stay home and stitch! Well and do a little baking on Sunday, its my favorite custodian's birthday on Monday (we share a Birthday month, mine is this upcoming Thursday, the 27th!) he loves apple crisp so I'll be making one to take into work for him on Monday.
Here's my WIPocalypse progress which was due this past Sunday! Since my last report I have focused most of my stitching time on The Accolade... until my little road trip to Stitcher's Garden two weeks ago.
I probably should work on my fair lady this weekend as one of my goals for March is to finish page 8 and as you can see, the end of this page is not far off!
I initially put down the Accolade to stitch up this beauty, Flowers in Black, White and Red. I picked up this piece at Stitcher's Garden, and started it the next day. This piece stitched up in just a few days.
Next up it was time to wrap up those Prarie Schooler ornaments I had started back in January, and I did just that while at the Timberhouse Retreat last weekend. Here's all the ornaments all stitched up together, outlined in backstitch and backing pieces stitched and ready to go. This is all ready to be pressed, and cut up to be whip stitched together.
Since the last WIPocalypse I finished.... The Poisonous Poinsettia (to cats)
The Pyromaniac Angel
Candy Cane Smoking Santa
The Cozy Cottage
Chubby Snowman
Finally The Scrawny Reindeer
Since I wrapped the Prarie Schooler ornaments fairly early on during the Retreat weekend, I pulled out another January start to work on, Three Little Maids which I ALSO managed to finish up on Sunday evening after I got home.
The rest of this week I've been working on yet another ornament, this guy has been calling my name since I picked up the chart in January. I picked up all of the threads for Snow Woes by Heart in Hand at Stitcher's Garden and decided he was next, I haven't been in any rush to get back to my over one stitching.
So there you have it, this is where all of my recently touched projects stand!
