Tiny Needle Tuesday

 

The same day I packed up the snowman, I packed up the Christmas Quaker. I just couldn't bring myself to pick it up so away it went. On my stitching table I have several other projects in plain sight but I didn't want to work on them either. The Village Quaker is too spring-like. It needs to wait. Matter's House is too Halloween-so nope.  Up on the pegboard is my Beatrix Potter crewel project but it was a no too because.....crewel. 

So what do you do now? You find something new of course. I bought this kit years and years ago so I thought I'd start it. It's nice and generic-no holiday or seasonal issues but look at that floss. No labels. No names. I had to match it all up with the pattern and put it on bobbins. It was a tangled mess. 

While I was carrying on about all that unmarked and badly tangled floss, The Mister popped his head in the room, saw I was starting something new and asked if I had finished something. Ha. If only he knew. In addition to the ones in plain sight on the table, all those envelopes hold a stitching project in the works. I really do need to ditch some of them. 

This new one is called Tea Time by Design Works. Upon close inspection it doesn't look terrible easy. There's a lot of color changes in those little cups of tea.

 I thought about challenging my self to do one block a month but I know better. Not gonna happen. I could barely get a bit of one border done before I had to deal with some catastrophe or other. It's always something.

And......something else showed up in the mail yesterday from 123 Stitch. I went looking for a Valentine's Day project and found this instead. I'm hoping it will fill in that gap between Christmas and spring. We'll see.
