My Personal Finishing Challenges

Becky Bee's Stitching Hive is hosting a BAP Challenge.

Those who complete the challenge will have their name added to a drawing for a $100.00 gift certificate from the ONS of Becky’s choice.

I think Becky's BAP Challenge is a great motivator even though I'm not going to join.

I've got so many projects on the go that I really shouldn't start another one!



Two years ago, I joined a SAL with Margaret and Berta. The year before that, we did the 'Frederick the Literate' SAL. The girls were such an inspiration.

I should finish my chairs before I commit to something new.

I should also finish these...


Panda Days


Mermaids of the Deep Blue


Grand Marquoir

And this ...


It's a Dinosaur Alphabet for Felix

Updates - Grand Marquoir & MTM

Both very beautiful and both wonderful to stitch!
My fave, though, is Vautier's beautiful Sampler done in DMC 839 & Kreinik Gold.


Isabelle Vautier's 'Grand Marquoir' Partie 2 is now finished except for an opening for a signature to be done later on), so this is a mini happy dance.


A week's worth of stitching on MTM.

I'm really missing The MOTH, who is away for work for the duration of the Spring break, but time alone at home gives me some worthwhile stitching time between walks in the park with Lucy & Harry and visits to the gym, both of which my hips need before the next round of family birthday dinners in October. The Cadet Princess (or is that La Princesse cadette?) turns 21 on the 19th, so the weekend before, she will be home from university in the north for a party with family and friends. The MOTH's benjamin son also has a birthday at the end of the month.
