Well, party or not, I was quite accomplishful over the weekend. I was little miss xs. First out of the bag was Beatrix Potter:
A whole motif got finished (beaded flower bunch)and another one (little varigated patch under the flower bunch) got started--
I figure Beatrix could get done this year. Since she's on the list of things I really, really want to finish this year, that's a good thing.
Also out of the collection of in process came my newest start (I think it's the newest anyway-- it's either this or the next item), SB's Joy in the Journey
I was working on this at a friend's family house and getting kibitzing help from a 6-year old. You see the heart in the sheep is supposed to be left unstitched but she and I agreed that it could use a little pink. She colored a stunning image of her house and kept an eagle eye on what I was up to lest I needed some more input on pattern adjustments. Gotta love little helpers!
Last week bought a new ornie and a little progress. I must be in a real brid mood. The week before last I finished the stitching on Miss Crescent's Red Bird:
I'm not sure it shows well, but the cranberries in the garland are a burgundy Kreinik and the popcorn is EdMar Boucle. I think she's really quite cute, and since she's destined for that mytical tree of mine my cute-rating is crucial.
Anyway, I finish the red bird to pick up Theron's Berry Bird
Yup, if you remember you JCS issues well you will note that I changed the colors on this. I guess I just can't leave well enough alone.
Also making an appearance in the light of day the end of last week was my Quaker a la Six Mains:
Can't see the Major Work? Well, let's get closer in ---
Yup, That bird head floating there -- I started that motif. Hey, at least I got his little eye showing so he can look around.
And last but certainly not least in the accomplishment round up, Ursula Michaels We the People--
I do so love stitching this! There's something so wonderful about seeing words appear.
Oh, I have to ask. Do you overpack for stitching adventures? I go to the LNS for the day and I look like I'm packing for a year in the Arctic. The stuffed bag below was for an afternoon od stitching with a friend--
Beatrix, Joy in the Journey, 6 Mains, We the People, Berry Bird, and new stash are all in there. Memo to Self: 3 hours of stitching does NOT require you to denude your hovel of WIPs.
Oh wait, you caught that reference to new stash. Welllllllll..... I gotta go. Catch you later with a report. Hee hee.

LOL @ overpacking. Whenever I have to go anywhere, I pack my stitching first, and then my clothes. When we moved to Maine, I actually decided to give away a lot of clothes to ensure I wouldn't have to get rid of any stitching stuff!
Not fair, teasing us with new stash and not showing it. lol! I think we all overpack for stitching ventures, don't we? After all, who knows what you'll want to pick up when you get there! Love all your stitchy progress -- very nice! I love red birds too! And yes, it's wonderful to have little helpers around. My son used to be mine but he's gotten too old for that now. Sadly. :(
Great progress on your WIPs! I like what you're doing with BP, the colours are really pretty.
Great progress! I love the story about your little helper!
You sure did get alot accomplished over the weekend! I can't wait to see We The People finished - that is really cool. In answer to your question about overpacking stitchng, is YES! Although, since I now pack weekly to go to DD's house, I am a little better about that. But, if I am going anywhere else, it is ridiculous! So, whatja get??
great progress on BP! and the others! love the red bird, she is on my list to stitch this year. And, I pack my stitching the same way as you, you just never know what mood you will be in to stitch. LOL
It all looks so great!
I always overpack for anything, especially stitching!
I always love you to show your BP sampler because it has such wonderful colours. They are pure eye candy for me. I think you are right - you could finish it this year.
All your other WIps show very nice progress as well. I'M very curious to see the Berry Bird develop because I'm also stitching a Theron piece called The Berry Thief.
I love this pattern..Amazing tutorial..I have made handbag using this type of stitches.
