Remember this one?

It has felt so good for the past two days to work on my own WIPs!  I was really enjoying working on this Beardie Design before I got busy with gift and exchange stitching, and I am happy to get back to it.  For some reason this is a particularly relaxing chart to work on.  Maybe it is because I love working with silks (this one calls for NPI), and I only need to use one ply.  Silks are so nice to work with, and you don't have to worry about getting two plies to lay straight.  Once you get a rhythm going, you just don't want to stop!  I have worked on this one for two days.  Now I think I will rotate to the Shepherds Bush sheep, "Busy", that I recently started.  That is yet another relaxing project (more silks and only one ply, which makes for fast stitching, and it is also not a very large design).  I guess I need to pull my goal sheet back out and take a look at it.  Tonight I also worked a tiny bit on my Merry Cox "Spool Holder" as well.  There is not much there to share, but I did get more of the backstitching in.  I didn't show any updates this past Monday, but I hope I will have one of my own to share next Monday!
