Finished!

She's finally done and I'm back to watching Lie To Me and stitching on Annabelle. I'm taking Midnight Secrets on the plane with me Thursday for my trip to Hawaii.

Almost Done

I was trying to stay up and finish this page of Witchy Wendy because I'm soooooooo close to being down to one last partial page but I'm falling asleep. So tomorrow I'll post pics of a finished page and I have a sock finished that looks like a snake to me with the pink toe. I liked it so much I started it's match instead of a new sock like I had planned.

Squeezed in 400+ stitches before sleep started to overcome me. I'm so very toasty warm and tired right now. Just gonna post my progress and head to bed.

Mathmatical what?

It's bed time and I just remembered I didn't post yesterday either so I scurried down the hallway to take a quick pic.....and started counting non colored squares. Why you might ask. I wanted to know how close I was to being done with Witchy Wendy. It's 3,856 squares which turns into sometime like 15.8% left before I'm done. I've stitched 20,564 stitches so far. Woot! I asked my dh what I should work on next and he said the deer picture. It took me a moment to recall what he meant but I am now to tired to dig through floss to see how many of the 123 I'm going to need to purchase. I want to finish page one of the Fragile Heart SAL before I do a new start though.

What a day. I'm finally headed to bed again after squeezing in some stitching before passing out. It helps to calm my nerves. Tomorrow is going to busy. I have to clean out and move everything in my craft room so we can take the wall down between the living room and my craft room. We're putting in a pellet stove and turning off the furnace since dh gets free pellets from work. The advantage of working at a place that makes them. He's worried about layoffs but I'm trying not to stress over stuff we can't change. Here's Midnight Secrets (by Selina Fenech and graphed by Heaven and Earth Designs)

I made myself sit down and work on Witchy Wendy tonight. It helped that the neighbor's dog wouldn't stop barking making my dh grouchy and trying to sleep. It's amazing how little you can do in 2 hours but still fill like you accomplished something just by filling in spaces. I'm also knitting a pair of monkey socks and finished the gusset while watching Grey's Anatomy tonight. Great episode, glad to see Christina practicing medicine again.

Secrets

Finished up all the bobbin winding today. I underestimated my supply because I'll have to buy some more bobbins but that's alright as I need to get the rest of thread for daughter's dragon project. I must have almost a complete set by now. Every time I see I need another color I think wow, really? Tonight I worked on Midnight Secrets. It was out and easy to work on. Poor Wendy really needs to get finished so she may be all I work on for the rest of the week.

I was just to tired to finish the blocks, benadryl does that to me.

Nada

No stitching today at all. Andi and I purchased all the thread we needed for the SAL and then a few extras and I've spent the last hour wrapping thread onto bobbins. There are 50+ to wrap. All the thread I've picked up this year and you'd think I'd have a whole set by now. Maybe I should check a checklist for DMC and see how close I am.

After 2 days of working on Fragile Heart I have just over 2 columns done.



Tomorrow is payday so I'll be working on Witchy Wendy after I pay bills and grocery shop. I watched Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole twice today. It's fantastic and on my buy soon list so I can watch it again. It even has Owl City singing in it and I love that too!

I made my 2011 goals on the HAED board today. They were:
1. Finish Witchy Wendy (really want her to be done already)
2. Finish Masquerade SAL (love this chart and put it off so I could work on Wendy)
3. Do 2 Pages of Fragile Heart SAL (I'm hoping for much more then this as so far it's an easy pattern to follow)
4. Finish 3 pages of Midnight Secrets

On Masquerade I'm just a bit farther then the following pic



This is Midnight Secrets, it's one of the charts that got me started on HAED and I'm done with the row that's shown.

I think I'm going to switch daily between Fragile Heart and Witchy Wendy. I'm so close to being done with Wendy but it feels like I'm getting no where after spending hours on the confetti bits. Fragile Heart is the 2011 SAL from the HAED boards and I'd like to actually finish page 1 before I get page 2 this year.
