More progress, finishes and another start

Here it is the start of another week and of course I have been able to make some progress on a few things. The weather here has once again been a roller coaster. We have had some cold days and then a couple of warmer days and hopefully things will start to warm up.

Post Office - this got some more attention this week as I have been trying to move this project forward a bit more. I have been trying to get more of the stitches in and hopefully I can continue to move this forward even if I only work on it a little bit each week. Seeing that I can continue to get this piece moving forward makes me feel a little better.

Of course, there is going to be looks of beads on this piece so we will see how things go. I do have a bunch of these kits, so you are going to be seeing Mill Hill Kits are part of my stitching over the next while. If I can continue to at least work on this a bit at a time, I should be able to see some good progress until I have to do the beads. The beads will be done all at the end so now to see how long it takes me to get to that point.

Vintage ABC's - C - here is a piece that I decided to start this week. It didn't take me long to stitch up this piece as it is just under 60 x 60 stitches and with only three colours they work up quickly. I am going to be working on all of the letters but have decided that I am not going to do them in order so I hope that it will be a little bit more fun. I think the next one that I will be working on will be H.

Letters completed - A, B

Peppermint Pressie - it was time for me to start another one of the ornaments that I am trying to get completed. I started this on Saturday and so I haven't been working on it for very long but love the progress that I was able to make on it.

This project is another project that doesn't take long to stitch when you can focus on it. I have been working on other things as well, so it has taken me longer to get this much done then I thought.

Button Box Throw - I have continued to work on this piece and having a lot of fun on it. I am still working on some of the small balls of yarn and have continued to enjoy the progress that I have been able to get done. 

I have an idea where it is going to stop but I think I still have five more balls of yarn that will be added and then I think it will be finished. It's been a project that I continue to enjoy working on and it's great one for just picking up and working on things when I have just a bit of time.

Sophie Scarf - as this was a smaller knitting project I figured it wouldn't take me long to finish if I just sat and focused on it. I decided that on Monday I was going to sit and work on it until it was done and that is what I did. The scarf doesn't take a lot of yarn, so I was using a partial ball of yarn that was left over from my Hedgerow Shawl.

I hope to be able to make another Sophie Scarf before long, but it will be using the other green yarn that was left over from my Hedgerow Shawl. This is a simple project to do and something that doesn't take long and that makes me happy.

Other projects - I did pick up my English Paper Piecing this week, but I will write about that the end of the month as I hope to have some progress to show you. I did enjoy it and that ended up taking some of my cross stitch away but that didn't bother me.

This coming week I am not certain what I am going to be working on. I know that I have some cross stitch projects to try and continue to move forward and I do have a shawl on the needles that I should get back to working on. Projects will be decided when I go to pick something up to work on.

I hope everyone has a good week and you find some time each day to do something that you love doing. If things go as planned, I would like to have some progress to show you next week.
