It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. -Alan Cohen |

I'm working on my House and Garden Sampler--a compilation of various house patterns, along with other garden/home elements.
Here's a link: House and Garden Sampler I now use the 'screaming' rotation method, so this has been my focus since October. I know I don't have much done for that being my only piece I've been working on, but I don't stitch much at all. (About 2 hours a week) |

A birth sampler for a friend's baby. It's my adaptation of a Stoney Creek design. No pics of this one, but the ones for his sisters are in my
PictureTrail gallery, in the album labeled "Egglet Projects." This one's pretty much like those.
I'm also trying to find out if anyone has a conversion list for Pearsall's to DMC, but no one seems to be interested in sharing the information with me.

Sampler Gameboard. I've got 52 of 64 motifs done and about half the border. Am really pushing to get this done for my March 8th meeting of my sampler
guild so I can show off a finished project for the UFO challenge.
I was ready to give up on SG until I saw a 5 year old UFO completed on another board. So, come on, Carleen, get going! Susan Currently stitching: Love and Wisdom (SAL); Elizabeth Bechtel (The Essamplaire); Grace Mason (Of Female Worth); Quaker Christmas (By Gone
Stitches); Perseverence (Chessie and Me); Jane Longstreth (Vassar Sampler)

I'm working on page 2 of HAED's Eternal Promise. It's just taking forever. Gone are the days when I could whip out a page in a few days (I'm a
mom now).

Well, I've been working on 2 projects. Purple Heart by Just Nan, which I just finished on 2/25, and Brown Cat (Siamese) by Mary Ellen Yanich. Here are pics
of both. The Brown Cat one has not been updated because I'm still working on it, but it will give you an idea of what I'm doing.
I've gotten
most of the face done and have worked down to the flowers on the right hand side.

Have you finished Plethora yet. I've been a bit out of it healthwise and I honestly can't remember. Plus don't you want to beat Laurel?
Anyway on to what I've been stitching. I finished 10-spotted Ladybug today. I'll post a pic when I feel up to it. I'm waiting on BF to finish Purple Wanna Bee. And currently I'm stitching on Celestial Wings by Dragon Dreams despite the fact that I'm waiting on far too many fibers for that one. LNS was holding my order up as they were out of 2 braids. I said mail what they have now anyway as I'm impatient to finish Purple Wanna Bee and they have the BF. So that'll arrive tomorrow or Thurs. I think. OK likely to arrive Thursday as package didn't arrive today and yes I'm out of it as I'm losing days of the week.  I'm also stitching a bit
on the 1st day of Christmas when I don't feel like stitching on medium to dark blue fabric.

I'm working on Middy and have just a little more regular stitching to do before adding the many, many, many, many beads.
I'd like to finish the stitching this round and start beading next round. Amy |

I restarted Cirque des Circles and I've also started Tempest in a Teacup (TW freebie). I've got the 1st day of TWs 12 days ready to go and I'm
adding Miss Mary Mack to the project folder this weekend.

No Jen, I haven't. But I may pic her up today.
Everyone's projects are awesome! Keep it coming...its making me want to stitch! It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. -Alan Cohen |

How are you doing with your competition with Laurel?
My stitching: The Beatrix Potter baby sampler - 20 more minutes of stitching, then backstitching the first of nine sections! Not bad progress, all in all. My goal is to finish this section this weekend and start the next one, so I don't lose momentum. When I can't face that one: Cirques des Circles done in Gloriana silk. Lovely lovely stitching pleasure - simple to follow chart, silks feel wonderful and I adore the colour. How's the motivation going? |

I am so disorganised right now that I seem to be stitching everything and making no progress. I really need to reorganise my rotation, or even remember what my
rotation is meant to be.

 Junette! Oh yes, very excited!
Lisa..not doing so well, she is two ahead of me. I only have a month to catch up and beat her. Actually, this is all motivating, as I actually picked up Plethora and worked on her a couple days ago. I have a few days off and with only a few things pressing so I plan to make some progress. I need to frog one section as I used the wrong color thread and it looks weird. (did I mention how much I hate frogging backstitching?) I plan to do some major stitching and watch movies tonight. I think I will take a pic after I am done frogging and post it. It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. -Alan Cohen |
