Lots 'o stitching...

Well at least tonight. Thursday night I didn't feel much like stitching too much. I am not sure why. Allen reminded me that it is okay not to stitch one night. Is it? But I certainly made up for it tonight (friday). I was having a really hard time not pulling out Mystery 9 considering we got the password for part 2 on Wednesday. I have been waiting so patiently, but I reminded myself that I do need to get some good work in on White Wedding since Becca's wedding is less than 5 months away.

So, I made a deal with myself. If I finished the pillar motif on the top right of page 6 I could work on my mystery. So here it is...the pillar. Page six is almost completed.














And then I quickly moved on to Mystery 9. After all the stitching on this one in January, I was glad to have a lighter section this month. I am sure that March will be a doozy:) I would say I am about a third done with part two. I also have about 5 minutes of backstitch from part one and the beading to do.
















Saturday, I do need to do some cleaning around the house. I will use stitching as my motivation to just get it done. I am hoping that I will have enough time to finish both my part 2 and page six of White Wedding tomorrow. With that done, I am one step closer to actually finishing WW by May and will have three Saturdays left in February free from rotation obligations. I think I will use that time to work on some smalls, including my exchanges that are to be sent at the end of March. I might also put some extra time in on either Celtic Winter or Woodland Fairy. YEAH!!!

I too use stitching as a motivation to get chores done more quickly ;)
