I finally got out the confetti planet and mountains this week.  First picture is better than the second picture which is where I am currently.  I'm hoping to get this page done by the end of the week since I want to start another stocking during the week of Christmas.

Progress on Loara Standish, still reversible!

Steve Rousseau's Old European Sampler got a few more stitches this week.

The Earth Song came back out.  I would really like to see this column of pages done by the end of the month.

Last week I was of work and while I didn't get a huge amount of stitching done, I still managed to meet my remaining goals for 2019.

I'm fascinated how she looks front and back since I'm still managing to stitch her reversibly.  I'm planning to finish this blue motif at least before I pull something else out.

I finally finished part 2 of Chatelaine's Hawaii 11/12/19.  This is going to take a nap for a while, until I'm ready to start the next part.

The Master came out for a couple of lengths of floss so I could meet that goal as well.

When I took The Master to rejoin the rest of my WIPs, I pulled most of my remaining WIPs that haven't been touched this year.  Chatelaine's Polar Mandala got pulled out for a couple lengths of thread.

The Loneliness of Autumn as charted by Love Thy Thread made an appearance.

I'm almost done with my goals for this year.  I think most of the rest of them are just to add a few stitches so I can say they saw some love before they are put away again.

Then it was time for Earth Song to come out again for probably the rest of the month.

I finished Needleworker last Monday evening.  This picture is kind of dark, but I'm happy with the result.

I picked Hawaii back up with the goal of finishing part 2.  I didn't quite meet my goal, but I'm close.

I haven't added the backstitches in the tops of the pineapples yet because I'm not sure what color I want to use.  Black is charted but won't show up well so I'm thinking about a dark blue/green PTB

After I finish this part, I'm thinking of pulling The Master out for a length of thread to meet my goal on it before I go back to Earth Song.

11/4/19

I came so very close to a finish last night.

This is when I moved my qsnaps the last time.  I added the very bottom of the "r" before I had to call it quits.

Today, over lunch at work, I'm hoping to get this finished.

I did make some progress on Hawaii last week.

I'm probably going to focus on this for a few more days to see how much more progress I can make.

Page 3 is done!!

The other day I looked and before this year, I hadn't really touched Earth Song since 2015.  Now, three more pages are done!

I pulled Earth Song off the QSnaps to take a picture last night and decided to pull out a couple of WIPs to try and make my goals for them this year.

My goal for Her Private Garden was just to add some stitches this year.  I added a length of 3371. 

Then, I pulled out Hawaii and started working on the next pineapple.  This is as far as I got last night. 

I'm planning to keep Hawaii out for the next week or so.  The pineapple don't take very long and finishing the remaining three, part 2, is my goal for this year.

Hawaii was left at home today and I brought Needleworker.  I still haven't added any more stitches, but I intend to over lunch at work today.
