I was able to stitch more than usual this past week and I got quite a few stitches in on several projects.
I am getting closer to a page finish on Henry but confetti is starting so it is a little slower now.
Henry VIII-Heaven and Earth Designs
Needles and Pins-Theron Traditions
I started this one a good while ago and haven't worked on it in quite some time. I have to rip out the blue line, as it is supposed to be red and will do that this week. I finished Mississipi and Illinois and the portion of the red line above those.
One Nation-Bygone Stitches
I started a couple of new things.
I love the Wizard of Oz and this pattern was in a magazine, the Cross Stitcher issue 281.
I also started Fire and Ice. I have had this pattern for several years and it will be a gift for my husband. I have the companion piece called Golden Ice but haven't started it yet.
I am trying hard not to purchase anything right now. I will be having a total knee replacement on October 31 and will be off work for about 12 weeks so I need to not make any purchases.
However, I have wanted one of these lap/table stands since I saw it and since my birthday is coming up, I got one. They are made by Michael Hope and his wife Bonnie is on several facebook groups that I am a member of and that is where I saw it. I can't sing its praises enough as it is fantastic and the best gadget I have purchased in quite some time.
I hope you all have a great stitch week!
