ALQ Update

There hasn't been as much progress on this one (or any of projects) as I wish there had been. I've been taking this one to work to work on. Since I only get 20 min breaks, it is a great piece to work on. I can to all the borders without a pattern because they are all the same.

I've done a little bit of work on my Blue Moon Faery, but even that isn't really enough to take a picture of. BoInk hasn't had any progress made on it, and neither has Monopoly. I think when (if) I ever finish ALQ I'll start taking Monopoly to work. Then I don't have to worry about DH finding it. LOL

Update

Well, I've gotten all my ornament stitched. All I have left to do is make it up into an actual ornament. LOL

I also started on Monopoly. I've gotten most of the GO square done. I don't have a picture of that one. DH came home before I could get a photo of my progress done. I'd take one now, but he's asleep. And knowing my luck he'd wake up as soon as I spread it out. LOL.

I also got a little work done on BoInk and ALQ. Neither of which deserved a photo so I didn't take one. I've been taking ALQ to work to work on it there, but haven't been doing much. The reason is because I'm also taking a book. Books are my kryptonite. That's all there is to it. :(

Christmas Ornament

Well, this weekend I spent all my stitching time working on my ornament for the ILCS Blind Ornament Exchange. Everyone stitches an ornament, we all send them to one of the moderators, and then she sends an ornament to everyone that sent one in. I've gotten all the stitching done except the border (still not sure if I'll do it yet) and the backstitching. The pattern was a freebie offline and didn't have the floss numbers for the backstitching, I'm going to have to make it up as I go along. :( Hopefully it will turn out alright. I am still not sure exactly how I am going to finish it either.

Still using the camera phone. Now you have your choice...green or blue. ;) lol






I haven't begun my Monopoly piece yet. As far as I know, Steve (DH) still doesn't know that I am going to be working on it. I will probably start next weekend if I get the ornament done. I figure I'll work on BoInk and BMF while he's up and then Monopoly Sunday and Monday after he goes to bed.

One door closes...another one opens. :)

I have decided to give up on the Marquoir. I've tried for several days now to get back into it and I just can't do it. I think the piece is beautiful, but I don't think it is for me.

So...I decided to cut off the bit I had stitched on and immediately start work on a new piece. I've joined Ink Circles Mystery SAL, Book of Ink Circles aka BoInk. I've picked out my colors and started. Once again the picture quality is lousy. Please forgive. :)

Edited to add: The fabric is a 32ct dove grey. The DMC I think I will be using are 820, 413, 797, 550, 3818, 340, 3750, 518. I'm a little concerned about a couple of the colors, so I might still change one or two of the colors that I haven't used yet.

My progress so far (1 day)
