The stocking went from here (includes a fair amount of Friday night stitching):
to here (base stitching done, take-away rows started; still to come -- outlining, highlighting, and embellishment):
Workbasket's Quaker went from here:
to here (for the record that's black Splendor silk on white opalescent lugana)::
Cheffie went from here:
to here (a little more background done; shoes and pot handle in):
And I was even non-stitchily productive. Get this, I changed purses (pretty close to a full-on Spring cleaning for me). Now I'm carrying this Madison Handbag beauty -- a present from my sister (she designed it for me as part of a Leukemia and Lymphoma fundraiser)
And, because I owe it to myself as incentive... what I want to be stitching on is:
You do realize when this big Christmas push is over I'm going to end up started 12 new things. Sigh.
This is why I have such a long UFO list. And I already know that when the above 3 Christmas bits get done that there are two others that I immediately start for this Christmas as well.
Does this happen to you? You put the major effort into finishing 1 (or 3 projects) then you immediately hop into a bunch of new starts despite some logical part of your brain screaming "NO! You have enough going now!" It's not just me is it?

that purse is gorgeous! (and the stitching too)
No, it's not just you! I'm constantly thinking about the next five or ten projects I want to start.
Good progress in stitching!! I guess that's the case with most of us. I have both cross stitch and crochet projects in queue.
Good luck with all those projects, all look fantastic.
Oh yes, that's a weekend right after my taste. You were such a busy stitcher and accomplished lots. But that's what the ISH weekends are for :)). Creating new WIPS is also one of my passions and noone can stop me, lol.
Aww sweet projects..
Good luck with them all
Hugs x

LOVE the stocking!!! Nice work! Yes, same thing aspens to me. A push to fish a gol and then a start itis attack....
Please excuse the bad spelling. Apparently my iPad keeps changing the words on me. Terribly annoying...
You certainly had a successful hermit session hehe. Love seeing the progress on your pre-stamped chart. I have never done one of those because I was always afraid of mixing up like colours or running out of floss :)
I think it's just the sweetest stocking ever!!!
Loads of great stitching you got done over the weekend!! Love the stocking and the Tin man!! The purse is beautiful and it looks like it's made from suede?!
