 I've struggled with pulling Nightshade out to finish this year.  So I thought I'd try something different, for me, and still be able to finish her.

I ordered this frame from Amazon and stuffed my WIP in it to see how she looked.  I'm pretty pleased.   I do need to add a little to the bottom right but I think this will work just fine.

I worked on Ann Tong Uffindell yesterday and met my goal with 621 stitches into the border.  I do plan to come back later this year and connect the border.

Next out is Sarah Redfearn from The Scarlett House.  I'm probably going to work on the border here too.

 Gotta live how much you can accomplish with three days PTO and no one else at home!

I added 763 stitches  to Elizabeth Hall and finished the top border and first row of alphabet. 

Then Chatelaine's Heritage Sampler came out and I met my goal with 292 additional stitches.

Ann Tong Uffiindell is out now.  I'm hoping to meet my goal for her today.

 Goal met on Airships and Floating Castle from Tilton Crafts with 1018 tent stitches =509 full x  = 3.97% complete

 Goal met on Plague Doctor with 1150 tent stitches =575 full x.  It's now at 1.91% complete.

 Her Private Garden was the lucky choice and I've met my goal!

I added 1198 tent stitches = 599 full x and it's now 2.83% complete.

I enjoyed working on this and added more stitches than I have in years.

 The Loneliness of Autumn seems to be clicking.   I've met my March Goal along with catching up my goals for January and February. 

Now to figure out what's up next.

3/20/24

 I've met my March goal for Warrior Alice.  

I was very tempted to continue and I may revisit her yet this month but there are other projects to spend some time with.

The Loneliness of Autumn is out now.  I'd like to meet my March goal and plug away at the goals from January and February.

 Last night, I met my March goal on Sea Witch with 1160 tent stitches and 32.11% complete.  

Looking at my WIP makes me want to push my progress a little faster but at the same time I really don't want to burn out which I'm struggling with a little.  For now, I'm going to keep hitting my goals since they aren't huge and rotating to keep my interest.

I met with a couple of local stitchers Saturday and one from the PA.  Instead of bringing Sea Witch, I brought Elizabeth Hall.  I didn't have a lot of progress for about 3 hours of stitching but I think we all had a good time.

Warrior Alice is out now.  I'm curious if my 1000 tent stitches will get me close to another page finish.

3/15/24

 Last night, I met my March goal on He Came With the Rain with 4674 tent stitches = 2337 full cross.  It's now 51.73% complete.

Sea Witch is up next.

3/13/24

 Page 18 of He Came With the Rain from Unconventional XStitch,  now 50.8% complete

3/11/24

 I've got He Came With the Rain out for it's March stitches and I finished page 15 last night.

I didn't make a huge amount of progress after that since apparently I can't count but I did add a few more stitches.  I'm now 49.45% complete.

3/5/24

 After I put Daybreak away, I pulled Loneliness of Autumn back out to plug away at my monthly stitches.  It's been slow since I didn't want to frog where I went wrong in January.

Then I went on a work trip for a week.  I did bring a new start of Elizabeth Hall 1809 from The Wishing Thorn.  

Sadly though, I only managed 11 stitches while we were there because working 90 hours in a week doesn't leave much time for anything but sleep.

I did manage a few more at the airport on the way home

Loneliness of Autumn got another day's progress since it was still on my stand.  I've now met my January goal on it!  Yay!

Then I put it away.  He Came With the Rain is out for it's March progress.
