Well, it doesn’t really seem like I accomplished that much, but I know I did. I feel pretty good about the weekend as a whole.
In addition to the outdoor work yesterday, I also finished a model last night that I’ve been working on for … wow… 6 months? It’s hard to believe that it’s actually been that long; in fact, it’s been even longer. I can’t show any pictures because it’s an unpublished design, but it was a major milestone for me. Actually two major milestones – my largest model stitching project and my first hardanger model stitching project. Despite the length of time I took, I’m happy with how it turned out and the designer was very relaxed about the deadline, so I was really able to take my time.
Today, I finished the June ornament for the Chartswappers group Just Cross Stitch ornament stitch-along. So, two finishes this weekend feels GREAT! On top of that, I continued work on a logo I’m developing, did some cleanup and packed up the model so that I can send it back this week. Oh yeah, and I gave the little fuzzball a bath. She’s still damp, that little wooly monster.
So, now it’s on to other projects in progress. I pulled out a bunch of new ones to start as a reward for finishing what I did this weekend, but realized that I should really hold off and make myself finish at least one more project first. I have the July Exchange gift that should be finished within the next month, the way overdue memorial sampler for my grandmother (in honor of my late grandfather) and a small (5 x 7) birth sampler for a friend’s wife who is due in September.
Speaking of… that’s a lot that I need to do , so I should get back to work!
