It's Time for Another Update

Good morning,

I have put in 2 weeks on The Astronomer & I think I have made some good progress. I did 926 stitches. It doesn't sound like alot but it was all confetti stitching. I confess I had one day out of the 2 weeks that I did not get 1 stitch in. Just too tired.


Now I have a confession to make. Chocolate, Chocolate & More Chocolate was supposed to have a turn next but I could not resist starting another one. I have now added Afternoon Tea to my rotation.


What can I say. I'm addicted to these little dragons.
On a non stitching note the weather here has been better. No snow & not much rain for the last 2 weeks.Maybe spring has finally come to New England.
Okay now time to go stitch somemore.
Have a great day

    Is this the one that is the size of a twin bed, or did I just feel that way when I cut the fabric? It's looking great, Cindy.

    Oh, what are we going to do with you? Not a mention of a UFO and now you sneaked in another HAED! Glad spring is finally showing up - my part of the UK is a sea of yellow - forsythia and daffodils!

    At least you will have projects to carry you into old age! Spring is beautiful. Glad you are having better weather. Here in Texas it was 93 and roses are blooming!

    The Astronomer is coming along a treat Cindy and I will let you off with Afternoon Tea as I expect I will be helping a certain Mouse sort out her threads for this in just a few short days. Spring has sprung here - daffodils everywhere and sunny blue skies - our clocks went forward this morning so extended stitching time in the evenings now yaaay! Hugs, Ally xx

    Hey Jo I got Mouse with that one. You could be next.

    Ally, she mentioned that you would be coming to the mouse house to help sort the threads & then today she told me she doesn't have the fabric yet.

    OMG was invented just for that piece! Would you please tell me more about confetti stitching? How you approach it, do it,(do you drag your threads on the back?) I have my first HAED piece, Dance Lesson, in my stash...I am collecting all the info/help I can. Thanks

    Great job on the Astronomer. I wish I could have that much stitched on anything in 2 weeks, heck I'll take 2 months at this point...lol. I like the little smiley dragon. I can't wait to see you work on that.
