"Red and Yellow Maple Leaves"

Progress updated as of Feb 28.   I am excited that I can see the light near the end of the tunnel.  I have 3/4 of the design done.  I am hoping to finish it in March.

Above the light is not reflecting off the camera but you can't see the bottom of the fabric very well.

Still Working on the Midnight Moogies

Adrienne Power's Midnight Moogies [Cross Stitch Gold July 2006

Here is my latest progress photo ... I hope to finish this piece in March ... wish me luck.

 Once I am finished with this, I'll be getting back on track with my Teresa Wentzler Woodland Angel Christmas Stocking.

My tastes are nothing if not eclectic!

Continued progress on Midnight Moogies

I apologize for not ironing the piece before I took the photograph but I wanted to take advantage of the fickle sun as long as it was shining.

I finished a HAED

I finished HAED - Lusk _ Aurora's Garden. It's a freebie on their website.

I stitched this for one of Dylan's ex girlfriends , when they were together. I am still friends with her and she gets to choose if she wants it framed, put onto a tote bag or made into a pillow.

socialsue's UFO challenge

This is my progress so far.  It is 1/4 done.  The red leaf on top is the middle of the design.  I call it "Red and Yellow Maple Leaves" because the design is from Japan.   I have no idea what the real title is because it is in Japanese writing.   My son brought it for me to stitch a couple of years ago.   My challenge is to finish this by end of January.

Finally Getting in Gear

My UFO of the moment is Midnight Moogies by Vivienne Powers, published in the July 2006 Cross Stitch Gold  issue.

Midnight Moogies: the WIP
Current

I have another half dozen or so UFOs that I hope to convert into WIPs this year.  It is my goal to have Midnight Moogies finished by the end of February and to move onto the Jacobean Elegance Afghan by Lori Birmingham [I can't remember the magazine in which the design was published at the moment].  I also have a number of unfinished class projects that I will be working on this year dating from 2005 on forward.  Many of these have multiple pieces, adding to the UFO count considerably.  You can see the shocking details in the sidebars of my own blog: http://oubliette-riona.blogspot.com/  I hope to make 2013 the year that I catch up with all my ongoing projects.
