Still Working....

Sorry no updates in a couple of days.  My afternoon off turned out not to be as productive as I had hoped.  I didn't even get to stitch until later in the evening.  I have been working on my Beardie "Tulip" needlecase, so I haven't bothered to photograph it.  I only have a few smyrnas left in the corner motifs to stitch (should finish on my break later) and then the little backstitches in those same motifs.  Whew.  This has been a hard project to stay motivated on!  I hope the designs I chose for the last three birthdays of the year will be easier going!  I still need to pull out my fabric bins.  I discovered that I don't have the right color DMC for the cording, so I will have to pick that up over the weekend.  My revised plan is to do the actual sewing on Saturday!  And mail on Monday!  YAY.  I will show you the piece as soon as I finish putting in those last stitches.  However I will wait until my friend gets it to share the last photo of it finished as a needlecase (fingers crossed it doesn't turn out all lumpy!--LOL).  It will feel good to get back to my own projects once again.  As my husband is working out of town for a little while, I might be able to get in a bit more stitching time in the evenings.  Maybe I can actually show some progress on something!!
