Yipppeeee!  Today I am starting an extra long weekend.   It's the "Queen's Birthday long weekend Monday so I decided to take Friday off as well!  Hooray for flextime!

 

After I have finished my domestic drudgery, I am going to sit myself down with a hot chocolate and my "Sew To be Seen" model "Maiden's Walk" (MW).  I sooo want to get this done in two weeks so I can take it to Sydney with me for the 'owner'!  It's hardanger so I have to take scissors to a perfectly good bit of embroidery and I am not looking forward to this one!  It's my first hardanger model and I want it to be perfect!

 

My stitching plan for the next few weeks is to finish MW and also another model of Maria Van Sharrenberg's "Night" which I would say is at about 85%.  I have really enjoyed this one - MvS uses colour really well and the combination of single thread and double thread really makes the design! 

 

After my 'committed' stitching I have one or two (or ten) things that I want to get finished....I have decided that for every three finishes I can start something new....

 

My list of WIPS is as follows

 

Sew To Be Seen - Maiden's Walk (75%)

MvS - Night (85%)

Butternut Road -  Celtic Banner (40%)

Mirabilia - Shimmering Mermaid (10%)

Lavender & Lace - Angel of the Sea (30%)

Graeme Ross - Cominos House (x 2 - don't ask!!!) (40 and 60%)

Emie Bishop - Peace Sampler (50%)
