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.

Goals

I was reviewing my goals from last year, which I didn't even remember posting, and realized I didn't finish any of them. I'm hoping I might finish Witchy Wendy this year though.

She hath returned




The new storykeep sal has started, I picked Masquerade this time around but I need to print my page so it's on the back burner. Instead I've been working on Witchy Wendy again and I hope to finish her by the end of summer. Mermaid of the Deep sk is still in the works, I just hate working on her. I shouldn't have done 2 over 2 on 28 ct, it's driving me crazy.
