WIPocalypse ~ January

Well, I am off to a slow start on this Challenge. I did manage to put in quite a bit more on Woodrow Wilson’s Birthplace over the New Year Weekend.

P1075839

I have a little bit more to do in the grassy area on the lower right, the signature portion between the red and blue at the bottom, and I have to purchase another skein of floss to finish off the bottom center (where the white areas are).P1075841

I also started an ornament. This one is from the JCS 2009 Ornament Issue: “Hope” by Imaginating, Inc.

This afternoon, I plan to put some quality time in on Coming Home for the Holidays, or CH4TH ~ the SAL I have been working on with Lana over at A Joyful Stitcher. You should check out her blog if you haven’t already! This is where I left off last month:

Yes, the horse is still headless, but I will fix that this afternoon, lol!

 

~~~Until next time~~~

I really had to laugh at your comment about the headless horse. Wonder where it is heade to? I'm doing A Treasured Time which is in the same series from Dimension. Think I've got done about as much as you have on Coming Home so let's see who's finished first ;-)

You have made wonderful progress on Woodrow. It's funny how we leave our pieces sometimes. I have had two bottomless men waiting for threads to arrive. The important thing is to remember to go back and stitch the missing bits in before the piece is framed.

Too funny. My friend was stitching soldiers and they were headless for a while too. I'm sure he'll know where he's going though.

I do love the coming home one. It looks amazing ... lots of work. I have been trying to talk myself into stitching a large piece with a landscape or a house ... maybe next year after finishing all the currents. Good luck!

There's something to be said for having a headless horse. :) It's clearly wandered off somewhere!

Lovely progress on all of your pieces!

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain. Reuniting with long departed loved ones. And Mrs. Beasley too. I will miss the way you play your guitar and sing the songs you enjoy. I will miss our drives together finding new places to see and explore. I will miss you, daddy, the rest of my physical life. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Look for me running to you; into your arms. Michael Shawn Hayes March 8, 1949 to September 5, 2012 63 years young

Well, it’s almost here! I am almost 40!! Why do I sound so happy about it you might be wondering. Most people get to this age and act as though their world is coming to an end.
