Rotation rethink ....

I really needed to do this because I had other projects that I wasn't getting anywhere with. So I have decided to work on each project in rotation for four days and then work one day on either of my two focus pieces. That way I may be able to get some progress on everything. I might even be able to post updates more often
.
So here is an update to Polar Bear Fun. This was the first chart that I brought from HAED. I got it because my husband loves Polar Bears and this is one that really appealed to me. Very slow progress, because I haven't worked on this since August of last year.

Until next time, happy stitching

I finished something ....

Well nearly, Polar Bear Fun was in rotation last week and I have completed page 1, so that is one small tick for my half year challenge. I ended up working on this longer than my usual weekly routine because I was so close to finishing the page. So I had to keep going until I did and I am really glad that I did.
Now, that I have completed my first page, I can add another project to my rotation, so I am currently gridding my fabric in preparation to begin QS Dragon Luck. I think I will have to set a goal to make my first stitches once I have completed my challenge for Poppy Night Adventure or Masquerade SK, whichever comes first. That way I am making progress with my challenge, seems fair.

Until next time, happy stitching

Getting the hang of it ....

I'm working on Poppy Night Adventure again this week, each and every one of these designs seems to take hold once you begin stitching. The problem is you never want to put them down again. I am considering what a few other people "like" to do and that is a "screaming rotation", which means you work on a project for as long as you like until another one screams at you. The problem with that is, I have set challenges for myself and I really would like to accomplish these. Anyway for the moment PNA is "screaming" at me, so maybe I will carry on with this until I have completed my full page challenge. Could be a good idea!!! Who would have thought?

Until next time, happy stitching
