 Celtic Alpha is a quick stitch and I'm very pleased how it turned out.


I've pulled Jane Fiddes from HATS to work on for the rest of my evening.  I'm hoping to make some nice progress and meet my goal for her this year.

 I made some great progress on Il Bosco di Bengtsson.   This is about a page and a half but I think I pushed too hard to get that last tree done Sunday night and just didn't want to stitch it anymore, for now.  


Chatelaine's Convent Herbal Garden was next and I added another color.  I pulled the next color s and they were both dark green.  I had been enjoying the bright green so I put it away.

While I was going through my stash looking for a chart for  SAL starting 9/1, I pulled Celtic Alpha from the Courtney collection.  I'll be stitching it on 40ct Tobias from Seraphim with BeRedded from HDF.

 Page 5 of Sarah Braizear is done.  I had considered working to the end of the row but couldn't do it so she was put away.


Il Bosco di Bengtsson came out next and I've made a little progress but 46ct navy is a bit of a challenge.  Here's my current progress


I did have to frog a little of that bush since I was half a stitch off and it was pretty obvious up next to the tree.  I'll come back to it after the tree is in

 M. Woods 1759 from Milady's Needle came out last week.  I'd struggled with the lightest color in this conversion because it just didn't show up on my fabric.  So I ordered the called for AVAS 100.3.  When I tried it, oy worked so I kept stitching and ended up meeting my goal for this year plus some.

Friday was the start of a challenge with Full Coverage Fanatics on Facebook so Sea Witch came out.  Sadly, I only added 21 stitches.  


 I moved onto Sarah Breazier from HATS.  I felt this one.  Page 4.

 It kind of feels like I've had a productive weekend.  Stitch counts don't really show that but the pretty pictures do.

Yesterday, I finished page 6 of The Master from Tilton Crafts. 


I've recently noticed that this WIP turns 10 next year so it will probably be more of a focus in the near future.  Oddly, Loara is a little older and I don't feel the need to finish her, for now.

Tonight, I've finished Dairy Darlin from Little House Needleworks so five out of 9 parts of the full piece are done.  Debating the border...


I moved the qsnaps on this fabric to start the next one and am not feeling it.  Maybe a separate new start instead?  I've got And They Sinned out and fabric chosen to go along with the HDF conversion.  Next weekend will be Sea Witch so for now, I'm still undecided.
