100th Post!

Wow- this is my 100th post on my blog.  I started this blog on February 2, 2009, as a way to record my cross stitch progress.  Thanks to the inspiring ladies and gentlemen of I-Love-Cross-Stitch, I have been motivated to stitch, stitch, stitch.  I finally realized that the patterns weren't going to stitch themselves!  LOL

It has been a while since I updated.  My stitching has slowed down the last couple of weeks.  The holidays are coming up, and homeschooling is keeping me busy, so stitching time has fallen off a little.   But here are some progress pictures.

First, Blessings Be Thine.  I really love this pattern, and it is turning out very pretty.  But it is rather intricate, even if it doesn't have a lot on it.  It seems to be taking a long time to make only a little progress.  I may have to take a break from it for a while.



My next update is the Eagle Sampler.  I actually had to start this pattern over.  I had not centered the pattern in the last piece of fabric, and it was not going to fit.  So now I have started it with the house, and it is coming along rather slowly as well.  This is one of my goals for 2009, so I will have to get cracking on it to get it finished by the end of the year.



Lastly, is the Blue Jean Bear pattern,  This is a birthday present for my youngest DD.  Her birthday is in January, so I need to really work on this one.  I have to stitch this one at night, to be sure that she doesn't see it!

 

  
So that is all the work I have been up to for the past couple of weeks.  I better get crackin' on my last two goals for the year.  Only 9 weeks til the end of the year!
