A finish, a start and finish and some progress

Here it is the start of another week, and we are back to the cooler weather again. At least we might get some sun this week which will be nice and we should be warming up a bit after today or at least I hope that things are starting to warm up again.

This past week was a busy week as I was trying to get a bunch of things accomplished and I think I might have been able to do that which does make me happy. I do have lots of things that I would like to get done so need to figure out just how to get everything achieved.

Festive Fox - as promised I did get this ornament finished this past week and that makes me feel good. Seeing that I am continuing to move some of the smaller projects forward makes me happy.

This is the second of three times that I will be stitching this piece, and I am happy with how quickly they stitch up when you can focus on it. Of course, I am the type of person that starts it and then puts it down for a while and then I finally work on it until it is finished.

Working on small ornaments does make me happy and I am going to see if I can spend some more time throughout this year working on getting more ornaments stitched up so that I will have a bunch of them ready for our tree.

Antonia Pueyo Sampler Petite - here is a new project that I started on Monday and it was a design by Jan Hicks of Jan Hicks Creates. It was a really nice piece to work on, and I thought it was going to take me longer than it did to stitch it up.

As you have probably figured out, I have also finished this piece and weas able to do that on Saturday. Once I picked this piece up, I couldn't put it down until it was finished. Doing monochromatic designs is something that I do enjoy working on and this one was a joy to do. I did use the recommended DMC colour and that is a very light pink. 

Now to get the next project kitted up and ready to start. I know the next project so hopefully this coming week I can get it started and have something to show you next week.

Button Box Throw - I am continuing to work on getting some more yarn added to the throw. I am going to try and continue to get more balls of yarn added. This past week I only one small ball of yarn added so we will see how things this week. I am thinking that after the next six balls of yarn it might be big enough, but we will wait and see. I will also need to figure out the yarn that I am going to use for the border so that is something else that I need to do.

Other projects - I didn't work on any other project this past week other than to start to kit up my next cross stitch project. This coming week I hope to be able to get a start of it and maybe have something to show next week.

I do have some other projects that I would like to give a bit of attention to so we will have to see how things go. I hope everyone is finding that bit of time each day to do something that you enjoy and giving yourself that time to relax. Hope everyone has a good week and hopefully next week I will have some more progress to show you on projects that I have been working on.
