Stitched at my stitching group today :dance: always great fun even though most of the ladies are quite a bit older than I am. Some of them have asked me to help them with ribbon kits they bought, so that's going to be interesting!

I haven't yet, just came home, but will soon. I am trying to decide what next.
Maybe I will assemble the cards I stitched first, then either give another try to crazy stitching, or start my Blackstone Fantasy Garden - I was looking forward to receiving it so much, and now I keep putting it off - as if I was afraid of starting it. Hm, a stange idea, isn't it? :doh:

Not at all, Agi, I've done that as well! Not sure whether it's being afraid it might not live up to the high expectations you have of it, or whether it's the knowledge that once you start it it will soon be finished and you won't be able to work on it anymore :-)

Great! Can you put some pictures in the SAL section so we can all see and cheer you on?

I am stitching right now, a bookmark. Will show it in the mini projects thread when done.

No stitching yet today -- but lots of drooling over Papillon Creation's freebies and dreaming of stitching all of them :-)

Yes!!!! for the first time in ages :dance: due to the boys moving out, sickness at work, hurting my back when I fell over, and the Valentines Day near stampede at work :rose:
I have just not been able to stitch until today :(
But I am happy now :dance:

No stitching for me today. I'm working night shifts at the moment, so spent most of the daylight hours trying to get some sleep

No stitching for me today, but I did about 3.5 hours yesterday when I went to my cross-stitch meetup. (That was fun, and I definitely plan on going to that again on a weekly basis!!)

I did and I am actually beginning to enjoy it now!
Today was day 3 of the 4th restart. I added a thread grid, which is helping immensely!!! :dance:
I'd love to get a bit more stitching in tonight, but need to work on painting an Appaloosa's white blanket, then add spots....need to mail this one and another together tomorrow....nothing like procrastinating is there??

Jilly, glad you finally managed to get some stitching time; Holly, great to hear that you're beginning to enjoy it -- careful, before you know it you'll be an addict like the rest of us :-).

Last night I stitched another silk quickie, using Vineyard's Shimmer and Classic, and Susan's eBay silks. Review coming up!

Yesterday did around 3 hours on my HAED watching AVP 2 and a few other things, got around 800 stitches of background done but I've also hit the confetti stitches that make up Queen of Hearts' skin tones!!!!!!!!! and while it is nice to be using colours other than black, brown & red, it is very annoying. There are a couple of colours which only have 1 stitch in the whole page! I think I'm also missing some so will have to work around gaps....!

Not yet today, I have just come home from school. But I did yesterday and the day before. I finished a small block of the Celebration sampler, but for some reason it goes so slowly. Anyway, I still love it. Will show when I have more progress. I also did two bookmarks.
I also started another small experiment yesterday, I hope to finish it tonight :) Photos coming soon.

I haven't done much stitching recently. I do while I'm working but the last couple of days I've been itching to build the ship my hubby got me for Vday. :lol: I am debating now whether to stitch or work on it some. I've not had time to up until now, it's been cleaning house, doing laundry and chasing after both of my kids. My son is out of school today for President's Day.
