Meaning to, meaning to, meaning to

I keep meaning to inventory all my "in progress" pieces, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I also have been meaning to get photos of my TNNA orders as they arrive, but that hasn't happened either. Sigh. Story of my life. Apparently everyone needs a hobby -- mine's meaning to.

What I have managed to do is round up some quick pics of what I have with me in process. Yeah, I only stitch at lunch for a few minutes, but a girl's gotta have a selection to choose from, right??? lol

In honor of Kathryn, I have a little sheep ornie in process --

Apparently, somewhere in fandom a sheep is always being stitched.

I also have a few stitches in on a Dragon Dreams castle ornie. It'll probably be the last of January's Bride's Tree SAL ornies. Of course the only reason it isn't done is that I had to order the grey Kreinik for the roof.... yeah, that's the only reason. Honest. Sure it is. You believe me, right?

And here's a little something I really can't explain, but I think the pretty colors deserve to say hello at least

And, as if I didn't have enough needles in action, Sandy's Society RR arrived in the mail today --

And, Sandy, dear friend, you get not speedy credit for getting that stitched over lunch. Here I thought you'd made some sort of major stitching accomplishment. lol Oh well, if it were me stitching I'd have had to frog and recount a dozen times no doubt.

I also got some fresh stash in the other day from Down Sunshine Lane. Amy got some new French patterns in and I couldn't control myself. Yeah, I know, I can never control myself.

Ah well, back to work -- Things to catalog. Mysteries to solve. Dust bunnies to slay.

At least SOMEONE is stitching a sheep. James said that if I didn't stitch a sheep in February, I would have to stop stitching altogether! Love the new tree stash, but I have to admit that the samplers scare me. It would take me a YEAR just to finish one of them. Just finished watching Neil Gaiman's Stardust, lovely movie! I enjoyed reading Neverwhen, too, but I still think American Gods is his best book.

Some nice colours in the works you are doing. Sheep? what's the significance?

Thanks for visiting my blog. I've been looking at your stitching and it's beautiful. You do needlepoint also! I do needlepoint too, although I haven't picked up any in a long time ;)
