Wolf Countess

This is the stitching I got done today and yesterday on "Wolf Countess." Not as much progress as I would like, but I incorporated some color and detail so that's good. Sorry about the crappy quality of the picture, it ended up being really bright for some reason. That's all for now! Thanks for looking. :)

Wolf Countess, Page 9

The following represents my work on "Wolf Countess" today and yesterday. I finished all the stitches in DMC 939 which is a very dark blue color. You can see it sort of sets up the "skeleton" of the rest of the page, which is the bodice of her dress. Time to start filling in some colors!

More Snow, Page 8 Finished

The last time I wrote we were waiting on a pretty big snowstorm. It did not disappoint, and since then we have also had a snow/ice storm and then another snowstorm this morning! The sun is finally out but no melting; the temperature is supposed to get down to ZERO by tonight!
I met my stitching goal on "Wolf Countess" with one day to spare! I finished page 8 in 13 days. Since I seem to be on a roll with this pattern I am going to aim for another page in two weeks, so that will be by February 4th. I also received some stash from 123stitch.com. (Hooray!) I got the pattern "Holiest of Nights" by Homespun Elegance, which I look forward to stitching for Christmas, as well as several of the Prairie Schooler Santas. I also bought "Thine is the Trick and the Treat" by Prairie Moon which I will work when I feel like doing some monochromatic work. I purchased two pieces of 40 ct Heritage linen with the Willow Hill Samplings "Birth of a Nation" patterns in mind.

Snow is coming!

Spent the day stitching and watching "Kitchen Nightmares" today. I worked on "Wolf Countess." We are expecting 12"-18" of snow tomorrow, so we are hunkered down and ready! It could end up being a bust, but it could be the biggest storm of the year so far. We'll see. That's New England for you!

Two Days' Work

Today was relaxing. Nate had the day off so we just hung around the apartment except for a brief trip to the grocery store. We watched "The Last Exorcism," which was decent until the ending, which was bizarre and kind of a let down.
I worked on "Wolf Countess" today and yesterday, and this is my progress so far. That's all for now!

Wolf Countess-Page 7 Finished

Well, I accomplished my weekend goal early. My hope was to finish the page I was working on by tomorrow evening but as you can see I just finished the last stitches in the block.I will be moving on to the next page. I am not sure how long it will take me so as an experiment I am going to set a goal of two weeks. Let's see how it goes!

Just a quick post...

Just a quick update to show what I stitched since this morning. I am hoping to have this page done by the end of the weekend.

Too tired to post last night!

I was too tired to make a post last night, so I am probably going to end up writing two today. I spent the day stitching at my Mom's house, she hurt her back and was on the couch most of the day so I went over to keep her company. This was my progress on Wolf Countess: Today I have a lot of stuff to do around the house (laundry, etc.) so I'm not sure how much stitching I will get done but we'll see. I will post again at the end of the day to update.

Today's Stitching

Well, today got off to a bad start. Someone lifted my debit card number and made some fraudulent purchases out of my account, so that was the surprise I woke up to this morning! I was able to go to the bank and get it mostly straightened out but still, it was frustrating.
Other than that the day went well. Nate had the day off so we relaxed and watched movies.
For stitching today, I worked on Wolf Countess. This is my progress: I finished the grey and started in a dark green color. The banister is starting to take shape.
Well, that's all for now! Thanks for looking!

Wolf Countess

I spent the day working on Wolf Countess today. This is my progress:

Still working in the same grey color but I feel like I got a good amount done! I also recently got the companion pattern to this one, called "Wolf Manor." However, I will not be starting that soon. No more large starts until I get one of the WIPs finished! :)

Page Four Emerald Stocking

Happy New Year!
This represents the last few days of work on "Emerald Stocking." I got a little tired of all the intricate stitching so tonight I switched back to "Wolf Countess" for a bit. Just working lots of grey but sometimes that's nice.

I plan to continue working on both pieces this week.
