Curleys or Swirleys????

I'm not sure what you call them, but I've got a few done (or almost done - there still is a row of yellow inside of the swirley/curleys)! I finally started on the SAL for the CHS Adam and Eve Sampler. I'm only working on this for one day out of the week, so progress will be spotty depending on whether all heck breaks loose during that day! Seems there is always some errand, some household task that rips me away from stitching. Anyway, after all the problems I had with that crazy Oxyx fabric, I finally settled on 25 count Lugana and I'm loving it. I wasn't sure at first if I would, but decided to forge ahead because I wanted this to be somewhat smaller in size. The holes are really easy to see even on the black. It should end up being about 8 x 7-1/2.

It's been another busy week. I think that I am honestly more busy now that I'm a SAH mom than when I was working. I did get a little more stitching done on the Mermaid Sampler (but not really enough to post) and worked one day on another project. Problem is that I've got so many great patterns here, that I want to start them all at once, putting myself in a tail spin and not getting much stitching done. I think I've got every scroll rod I own loaded with something, but then I'll look through my stash, and and want to do something else! OY!!! My stitching area looks like a disaster with rings of floss for all the projects, scroll rods and charts spread all over. Luckily, DH hasn't said anything - he obviously knows what's good for him!

Offending stitching area (ignore the white towels - it's to protect the leather from the scroll rod knobs).

This is suppose to be the wetbar. Obviously it's become the catch-all for all my projects. The cabinet area right under the floss explosion is my secret upstairs craft suppy cabinet (don't tell). Best if I clean this up today!

Anyway, Sunday I'm starting back on my self-imposed stitching of Block 2 of Shores. I'm still having a little bit of a hard time with the rotation thing, but it's nice to see a little bit of progress on everything. Knowing me though, I'll hit a brick wall at some point and just stick with one thing.

Well, I'm making this short and sweet this time. It's going to be 65 degrees here today and the sun is starting to come out! Woo Hoo! It has been a long, long winter. I'm sure it's not completely over because it's still early March, but hey, I'll take this. I know spring is coming because the geese have returned to the ponds, the chipmunks have woken up and are running around like their tails are on fire and the deer are appearing in my backyard again every morning.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
