Slow Sunday Stitching

 My goal from last week was to finish the stitching on the Ferret from The Year in the Woods and to start o the next set of three critters. I am happy to say that I met that goal. The ferret is finished. And the first section for the next set of three is gridded off and the Bear started. I haven’t much else to share at the moment, so I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching and return to my stitching.

 I’m continuing to make great progress on the Ferret from The Year in the Woods. I’m thinking maybe this week will finish it. I hope so because my supplies for the next set arrived on Friday and I’m itching to get started on it. But I am trying very hard not to leave another cross stitch project as a UFO. I have 3 or 4 of those and don’t want to add any more to that list. I really need to dig out my framing tools and get the first set of these into their frame. It is here, along with the foam core board. All I need to do is find my 3/8 inch pins that I use along the edge of the foam core before lacing it. It’s been sitting waiting in my cupboard since about this time last year. I will be watching the pairs figure skating later this afternoon, so I will put more stitches into this in between the skating. I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching.

 Progress continues on the Ferret for The Year in the Woods. I’ve almost finished the bottom half of the chart. He looks rather odd without his head.I’m planning on watching/listening to some of the olympics this evening while I stitch and give the poor critter his head.

 I met my goal of finishing the Raccoon for the Year in the Woods last week. I actually finished it last Sunday evening. And then I immediately started on the next animal which is the Ferret. Here’s a picture of the three of them side by side. And of course, I also ordered the supplies I need for the next set of 3. They are coming from 123 Stitch in the States, so it will likely be another week or 2 before they get here. I ordinarily like to order from Canadian suppliers, but the price of $4.95 shipping was impossible to pass up. Plus their selection of different counts and different colours of linen can’t be matched.
