What we're stitching now...

Boy, you`re a busy girl! How long have you been on them, or shouldn`t I ask?

And did you have her cremated?

(Sorry!)

Pat P

Aye-uh, I do understand!

Cheryl

Tell you what Jere, put a line in your will (or just add a codicil) that I am your stash executor and how you want it divided up! I'll do the rest.

Cheryl

Forgot to add, I'd much rather have you around!

Started both of them in 2005, Bagatelle in late spring or early summer, Paradigm in Jan I think.

Mom wants Paradigm Lost when I finish it. Thinking I might give it to her, but with the agreement that it reverts to me when she passes! (a while away yet I'm sure).

IMHO--Everything should be surrounded with chocolate mint. Lucille

I love it; I love all her florals

I'm looking for the perfect yarn to make a "Flames" scarf to wear at DS's hockey games.

Cheryl

As we post in all sorts of order!

It smells heavenly and does taste of chocolate and mint. And Six Strand Sweets does have a lot of chocolate mint colors.

- I think I have some designing to do! Fran - is the phrase yours? May Iuse it?

Cheryl

Hee, hee!

I've been working on quite a few things (just not the housework that DH thinks I should be doing! LOL it will get done - just when I want to do it though!)

2 for taking tea, and 3 for company..

also knitting caps for kids, caps for Ship Support, and just finished knitting gloves for my 12-yr DD, and since I've been doing all this knitting, the weather has stayed warm - go figure!

I'm kinda new here but thought I'd jump in on this thread since I've been enjoying reading about everyone's projects!

I'm trying to finish Teresa Wentzler's Noah's Ark by the end of this month, it's a Christmas gift for my Mom. I've been working on it since November

2003, just 16 little teeny over one animals to go...sigh.

And the rest of my UFOs: Sweetheart Tree's Olde English Needleroll (my small project, should take it with me places but never do) M L-I's Celtic Christmas (poor dear, I haven't picked her up since 1999 or so) Amid Amish Life (I think I have 25 stitches into the first panel)

I feel like I'm part of a twelve-step program: "Hello, my name is Lisa and I'm desperately trying to finish a cross-stitch project!!!)

I have three projects that I am currently working on. I enjoy stitching on all of them that my rotation is on a daily basis and sometimes (when I have several hours in a day to stitch) on an hourly basis.

They are:

Edge of a Ditch by Gerda Bengtss> I thought perhaps it might be interesting to know what we are all stitching

Yup!!

Good for you - if he`s worried about the housework being done - what`s stopping HIM from doing some?

I've been racing the clock for two weeks to finish up making fabric boxes with a top/lid design of chessie and me's "When This You See Remember Me." I'm making six boxes - one for myself and five for a bunch of girlfriends I'll be seeing this weekend.

Results? I've decided to let the finishing on mine wait until after I'm back from the trip with my friends. But their five: Two are completely done, the other three are done *except* assembling the lids on three (lace handwork on one piece of matboard, attach a covered/padded piece of foamcore). So I just have those three lids to finish today. Little did I expect that this one final step would be the hardest part of the whole project...I'm trying to ladder stitch them together with a nice long needle, then use a circular needle at the end of the seam when a long needle just won't do any more. My fingertips are SO sore from pushing the needle! I'll have lovely callouses soon!

Needless to say, I'm *really* looking forward to selecting a small ornament or two for travel handwork...something quick and simple and immediate gratification and *different*!!

Oh my gawd, I love them all! I have a book of Gerda Bengtsson's stuff, but those two blow me away. And some day, I'm just going to have to cave in and buy some of the Long Dogs I really want!
