Merry Cox Update!

Okay, not much can be seen in this photo, but I finally managed to pull out my Merry Cox "Shaker Spool Holder" design and work on it today! (If you click on the photo you can see the detail a bit better).  I added more backstitching (sorry you can't really see that) and started on a second flower!  I am hoping to post each Monday my progress, as perhaps this will be the impetus I need to work on this every week (so I have something to show you)!  I am trying to stitch on the birthday gift every day, as well as working on and rotating a bit between my other WIPs.  I don't know whether it is better to work a few days on one project and then switch?  Or should I go on to the next?  I suppose once you are on a roll with something, it is a good idea to stick with it!  Maybe Merry will go to work with me tomorrow as well--she has been neglected for too long!   Anyone else have Merry Cox progress to share?!
