Rhymes with pictures

Okay, so I remembered to bring the camera home and have taken some pix of my wips. Now we try le grande experiment and see if I can get the pix from my 'puter to my blog...

This is the pattern front of the Candlewick pillow and where I'm at with it. I'm a bit disappointed that so much of the white outline shows thru, but not disappointed enough to go back and rip the stitches out. :)



The wedding sampler. I finished the borders in the car today and am onto the backstitch. I hate backstitch.


The Magdalene. By the end of the month I want to have finished all the way up to the line. Lots of work to do on the left hand side there. She's so beautiful.


And lastly, my ornaments. I only have 45 more to cut out, then sew together, bead and make loops. Piece of cake.


So. There's the pix. I will post updated images as I update the pieces.

In other news, I now have a thread list for the secret birthday xs. Can't tell you what it is tho -it's a secret.

April Goals

I'm hoping it gets easier to do this because, to tell the truth, this blogging thing feels kind of dumb.

Anyway, mojo's blog has exactly one goal. To reduce my UFO pile and make sure I get things finished on time. I imagine that there'll be a fair bit of editorialising along the way. 

My current WIP list is displayed at right. By the end of April I plan to have:

*Worked 500 stitches on the Magdalene. (It isn't really the Magdalene, it's a kit that's called something like Serenity, but to me, she's always been the Magdalene)
*Finished the fourth flower set on the candlewick cushion
*Worked at least 1000 stitches on the secret birthday xs (green)
*Completed the weding sampler
*Finished April's quiltlet

Pictures coming soon.
