With everything going on, I've still managed to fit in some stitching. Really, when you're stressed out and busy, is there ANYTHING better or more therapeutic than fitting in an hour of stitching at the end of a stressful day? Out of all the chaos comes something beautiful and calming.
I'm participating in a contest of sorts over on the Mirabilia Stitchers yuku board and my goal was to finish all the red of Royal Holiday's cloak for the contest. Normally, that's a fairly mild goal for me, given there were about 6 weeks of stitching time in the contest, but with everything going on (see last post LOL), I thought it was reasonable. Well, with two weeks to spare, I reached my goal - quite impressed with that, really. I didn't think I'd fit as much stithching in as I did.I'm going to still continue working on Royal until she's done, as I want to get that all important 2010 finish date on her. I'm currently working on the "sash" of ribbons falling down from her waist. After that, I need to go back and fill in some of the scrollwork on her skirt and finish up all the white/gray of her cloak. After that it's onwards and upwards to give her a head!
Nifty little tidbit - although I'll be changing my last name, my "sig" of SMW will get to stay the same for my needlework projects.
