A President’s Day Update

President’s Day, yet another day without school (mine had Friday, off, too, for Teacher Work Day), and no mail, so my PTP FOTM will probably be delayed by a week. But the trash picked up, so everything’s good 🙂 The mail was running last week, and brought my kit for Beaded Dragonfly Tile – look at all of the beads:

I am going to try to make this a reward for finishing Mary Wigham 🙂 We’ll see how successful I am…

I can’t believe that February is more than half over and I don’t have a finish of any kind yet 🙁 But I am getting closer on PS Knock! Knock!, which saw a good bit of progress on Thursday night and then during our monthly conference call on Friday:

Now if only I could say the same for L&U; I worked all week on it, and changed colors a zillion times, but it’s really hard to see all of the holes that got filled in – and finally, I had to leave the filling-in for some solid areas of color, such as they were. Still haven’t figured out exactly where her face will appear, but I do have a head-shaped blob begun, so we’ll see what it looks like in a week 🙂 Here’s where it is now:

And just for reference, here it is with the chart page – see all of the purple scattered all over? That’s what I did, even if you can’t actually see it:

So this week, I will continue on with L&U, see if I can’t work through her dress and maybe move over to the organ, which will be a slight break from the confetti, as that back portion there on this page only has about 15-20 symbols in it 🙂 I would also like to finish Knock! Knock! this week, if I need to do a little time on it in the evenings before breaking out the beast. We’ll have some interruption this week with the arrival of long-overdue new furniture – new living room and dining room 🙂 The dogs will be happy to have new stuff to sleep on 🙁 Which means, there’s at least a week of painting that has to be done sometime in the near future, before the sauna season is upon us again. Yay me 🙁 On that note, Happy Stitching this week to everyone!
