A finish (and more blue)

There’s joy in my little corner of stitchville tonight.  I’ve finished the Mini Mystery SAL hosted by Manka. (See her blog here.)  Her design was a Hungarian Folk Art motif.  My thanks to her for the great design.  It was a lot of fun and hopefully she will share more with us in the future.

More joy? Nah, just more blue.  But every stitch brings you that much closer to the last one right!  I was reading on another blog the definition of a “screaming rotation”.  That’s when you work on something until something else screams louder.  I’m thinking that explains why I started working on the wider portion of blue instead of finishing the little section on the left.  It was just screaming louder. J

Happy Mother’s Day tomorrow to everyone in the U.S.  And a happy day to everyone else too!!  We all deserve it.

Happy stitching World.

May WIPocalypse, Mini Mystery SAL and more.

First up: May WIPocalypse.  A small but steady advance on Do Not Disturb.  I’ve decided (once again) to try to focus on this project.  It’s worked for the first five days of the month so who knows what could happen!

Manka is hosting a mini mystery SAL on her blog. (Here)  After taking forever to pick out colors I can happily report that I’ve completed the first part.  I’m looking forward to finishing and trying again with different colors.

Now for that other thing I keep mentioning – the Retro Cat.  Progress! I’ve finished the widest portion of blue and made it down to the break for the building.  Such excitement. J  All I have to do now is make sure I have enough 792 to finish the whole section.  I know, it’s always something.

Happy stitching World.
