I've almost finished part 3. Which means I will have part 3 finished and onto part 4 this weekend. Notice there was no "should" in that sentence. Seeing as its IHSW **insert happy dancing here** I have major plans for nothing but stitching all weekend or at least most of it. For some reason the family does insist on me doing some housework, plus the washing and ironing at some time over the weekend. Not to mention dinner on occasions. Maybe I should go on strike.. what do you think?
Ok here is Taj Mahal Garden Mandala at present. Progress photo as of the 2nd of March. Told you I was behind.
Now for Maggie. Heaps of progress made again and Maggie herself is starting to make an appearance.
DD number 2 asked me the other day why do I have more than one project going at once. I'm sure I heard a collective gasp from stitchers around the world that day!
I explained that only having the two projects on the go at the moment was better than my normal 10 or more. That I was trying to scale it down so I could get some finishes.
But also that seeing as Maggie is so intense in colour changes at times and such a busy design I find it keeps my interest renewed every time I rotate back on to her after a week or so on Taj Mahal Garden Mandala. Not to mention it calms me from wanting to start new projects every few days!
Officially I have 6 WIP started at the moment - 4 large, Maggie the Mess Maker, Taj Mahal Garden Mandala, The Sewing Room, and Fire Fly Fairies (not much stitches in this one) plus 2 smaller ones, but only working on these two rotating every two weeks. Who's willing to fess up to how many WIP they have at the moment.?
Maggie the Mess Maker as of 21st March 2014.
Alas the hungry hordes will be wanting dinner soon. So I hope everyone who is participating has a good IHSW and gets to hermit like crazy.
Happy stitching everyone

Yay, let's go on strike!! I agree with you, between housework, ironing & cooking there is not much time left for stitching... I think I'll demand a meal out this weekend!! :D Well I can dream, washing & ironing will still have to be done...
