April Architecture

This month's theme for my focus project was April Architecture.  I decided to pull out my favorite old WIP, Fish City by Stoney Creek.  There's lots of architecture in this project.

Next month is Maynia for Stitch Maynia.  I don't really like starting a new project until I finish one so I will be reverting to Heather at It's All Geek to Me's monthly theme May Menagerie.  I've got lots of WIPs with critters on them. 

10 Hour Rotation Finished

I finished another 10 Hour Rotation.  This time I worked on my Dickens' Mittens patterns for Momma.  This mitten is representing Fezziwig.  I am over halfway finished with this one.  Only 2 1/2 mittens left to stitch!

April WIPocalypse Check-In

Topic: What projects are in your UFO pile?
 I do not have any projects in my UFO pile.  If I start a project, I will finish it--eventually.  I am fortunate enough to enjoy all the projects I have chosen to work on so I never felt like I needed to put a project away or stop it all together.  It might spend a loooooong time waiting for it's turn in my rotation, but I will eventually pick it up again to try to finish it.

Now PHDs are a whole other topic of discussion.... ;0)

This month I am stitching on Athena by Mirabilia, Narrowboat by Carol Thornton, Into the Deep by Passione Ricamo, Madonna and Child by Kooler Design Studio, Around the World in 80 Stitches by Papillon Creations, and Christmas Tree Sampler by Victoria Sampler.

10 Hour Rotation Finished

I finished my 10 hour rotation on Chinese Dragon by Lesley Teare.  I was able to get more stitching done on the dragon's back and head.  His middle is more defined as well.  I'm pretty proud of the progress.

For the final day of Jessie Marie's SAL, our task was to stitch on something family related.  So I chose to work on my Madonna and Child kit by Kooler Design Studios.

Today's task was a new start.  I wasn't planning on a new start because I don't like to start a new project until I have finished a WIP.  Fortunately, I finished Christmas by the Letter a few days ago (thanks, Jessie!) so I decided to start my China Teapot Tray by Maria Diaz.

Today's task was to stitch on a "bookish" project.  I chose to work on Too Much Honey by Bucilla.  This is based on the characters in Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne.
