Just a Tease

That's right, I'm just going to tease you a little bit today. While I have been a good girl by starting my Day 8 and Day 9 projects, I have been remiss to take any pictures over the weekend.

For the eighth project I started Rose Garden by Blackbird Designs. I chose to be brave with this project so I'm stitching it over one on 28ct fabric. I have only stitched seven diamonds in the boarder so far, but I can tell this is going to be fun. However, I have to make a working copy of this chart before I go any further because I know I will lose my place if I don't highlight where I am. Plus, I can really see myself stitching this one more than once. It is perfect for a gift.

My ninth project was Flower Urn by Homespun Elegance. I'm stitching it on the premade "Stitchery Keep" as shown on the front of the pattern. I only stitched about half the urn yesterday and I can already tell that this one will be a little bit of a challenge. Good thing I can use the sewing method!

I've also been more than busy with MR. While I haven't finished page 3 (I started in the upper right hand corner), I have moved onto page 6 so that I could work my way down before I start working my way too far to the left. She is really moving along nicely.

Well, it is going to be a busy day at work. Tax season has already started for me! Hopefully I will be able to get a stitch in on start number 10 later tonight. Good thing Hubby has the day off. Someone has to do the housework!!

Happy Stitching!

I'm loving seeing everyone's new starts and must admit it's making me add a few more patterns to the list I keep for shopping at the LNS. Good luck on all your challenge projects and we will be watching your progress. Brave you starting on Moulin Rouge - I've seen it done in person a few times - lovely but I have too many other BAP's in progress!
