Thanks for all your kind comments! Im really struggling to get back into this. I need to get motivated into doing it again, Im hopefully going to get time to stitch tommorrow night and I think I'll just push myself into doing this one! I wouldnt mind but its a lovely piece to stitch!

Hi Irishstitch, Ill give you a bit of motivation,Im just about finished my indian chief, looking at the pattern it looks like I only have to do about 6" but actually quite a few hundred more stitches to do. It seems to drag on as Im only doing background now and not very exciting, so stick with me and we'll get through it together.

Don't you think sometimes though, it's just the actual picking up the needle and settling yourself down to a good stitching session? Well that's how its been to me before anyhow when I just can't seem to motivate myself and then once I've forced myself to sit down with it, I actually start to enjoy it again :lol:

*Hands needle over* Come on, sit down here, nice and comfy, and just see how much you enjoy it again. :dance:

You forgot the most important bit -- with the needle, we also hand over some :choc:! (yes, TB, you can let go of the chocolate, if you try hard enough :-))

Hi irishstitcher,I think I started mine around March this year. I know you started after me as I have been keeping an eye on it, beautiful work. In total Ive got about a 5" square to do......background. I think half my problem is that I have another pattern that Im itching to start, but not until this one is finished. Im even thinking of having a go at framing it myself (lol) we"ll see.

You're doing great, it's coming along wonderfully. I'm enjoying watching this - Native American stuff is one of my favourite things to stitch.
