Accomplishful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....

... for a change.  

The weekend looked like a wash.  I was fairly unproductive on Saturday  -- put some in, pull some out -- put some in -- debate pulling it out.....   I assume you know the drill.   At the end of Saturday I thought the only thing I would have to report was that the roses were... D-O-N-E!!!!!!  Want to see?  <--- that there is a textbook rhetorical question.

She's already off to the framer's -- no not *that* framer.   Her peachy self will be getting a slim opalescent green frame.    I'm so excited that she's done.  And I'm treating myself -- no fiddly stitching for 1 week -- even though what I really wanted to get back at was my Arabian Woman from Lanarte.  I just knew that I'd start and remember how much I despise 6 stitches of that, 18 stitches of this, 4 stitches of that,.....   and then there would go the Arabian woman for another year into the Bin of Ignominy (aka the box of UFOs).

Anyway, there I was at the end of Saturday thinking the weekend was going to be a wash, and then you know what happened?  The Jubilee happened!  God Bless the Queen (and BBC America) !!!!!!!!!!  By last night I had completed:

My little NYC ornie -- it makes up into a cube and has a "tassel" of beads and buttons that hand from it (looking a lot like a scissor fob).  What took so long on this one?  Well, I finally got motivated when we got a new finisher at the shop who I think shows the promise of actually sending this back in a box shape rather than all puffed out like a marble.   {Particulars:  canvas by Kathy Schenkel designs; threads: Sparkle Rays, Fyre Werks, overdyed Kreinik/Threadwerks, DMC, and Lola.}

And also:  

My sparkly, red, swirly heart.  {canvas by Raymond Crawford (I think), worked all in FyreWerks}

So, gentle reader, if you are a counting kind of person, that means T*H*R*E*E finishes in one weekend.  3!      That's one more than 2.   THREE ENTIRE finishes in one weekend.  I was exuberant!  I thought I just might be capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound.....  until I worked out my foot was asleep from not moving while watching and stitching.  hee heee

Flushed with success, (after keeping myself from starting back in on the Arabian Woman) I pulled out another UFOer and put in some border -- a sampler from SANQ a couple issues ago.  I'd show you a pic but it would be too boring for words -- imagine, if you want to, cream linen with a single-stitch forest green border that's about 5 inches from being done.  Yup, that's exactly what it would look like.  See, I don't need a picture afterall.

Ok, dear ones -- it's back to the grindstone for me.  I need to focus so I'll have the evening free to yell at hockey players......  Go Kings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
