 I've met my goal for M. Woods 1759 from Milady's Needle with 578 stitches.

I'm off work for a few days with nothing planned beyond some house work so I'm hoping to meet several more of my 2026 goals so I have the opportunity to come revisit some of them again this year.

Sarah Breazier from HATS is out next.

Louisa Coulimore from Hands Across the Sea came out next for some easy monochrome stitching.

Even with all the color changes she stitches up quickly.

 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.

M. Woods is at a stand still right now.  I'm debating on the color used for the H.  It's also used on the red flowers.  It's not really visible.  I'm debating just leaving it since it is a reproduction sampler, or above that top, green border, I've auditioned three different colors, one in two different weights.  It's just a couple of stitches in each one.  Tell me what you think.

Earth got some love over the last week.  I'm almost to the half page point in the 939.  The rest of the center bit is pretty much all black then there is some more light blues on the right.

I forgot to share progress on a couple of WIPs last week

I've been struggling a little bit to pick a WIP and stick with it.  I don't know if it's because I decided I needed to touch all my WIPs before the end of the year, because I want to finish Earth Song next year or because I've finished kitting up Sarah Braizear and want to start her, or a combination of those.

Anyway, here's the progress I made on Chatelaine's Blue Moroccan Lace over the last couple of nights.

And I've made a little more progress on Charting Creations Wolf Totem

but I've miscounted in a couple places so there is frogging to be done.

I've made progress on Earth Song, but I think I spent more time looking at it over the last week than I did actually stitching on it.  So, it's taking a break.  I have made it to the edge of the page so progress has been made, I just can't stay focused on it.

Yesterday, I pulled out M. Woods 1759 by Milady's Needle.  I've had this kitted with a custom HDF conversion since 2013.  I originally kitted it with three different shade of white in Kingston linen.  Since 46ct linen has hit my radar, I have a piece from xJuDesign that I decided to use.  

Here's how far I got yesterday.

The linen might be a little dark, but I like it.
