Update after PCA trip



Well, the best laid plans of mice and men - I think it goes something like that. I took the stitching with me to Maryland and did stitch a little in the truck on the way. After that it was hopeless. No time for any of that. Oodles of Poodles came first so without further typing, here is the update of Provence. I am also adding a pathetic update of the Mermaid of Atlantis. I hope to get a whole lot more done now that I am back. Martina is putting the third installment out on the Mandala this week and as you can see, I haven't finished the first. Sigh !

Post Injury Progress


Having a standard poodle can impact your world. Well, it did mine. I managed to fall face forward in my den in an effort to keep the poodle from getting sick on the carpet. If she hadn't chewed on something outside, she would have been fine. However, the hurt knee gave me great excuses to stitch a while so I did. I am please that I have at least completed the circle of the water fountain. Just a few more stitches and we will be off to the corners. Then comes the effort of tackling part 2, oh my.

April Fool's Day Progress


I haven't made as much progress as I would have liked, but, other things got in the way. I attended a weekend stitching re-treat and got to work on some beautiful pansies. Thanks 3 Stitches. However, on April Fool's Day, I did get to stitch some more on the Mandala. Of course, this came on the same day that Martina loaded part 2 of the chart. Holy Cow. Not finished with part 1 and you should see part 2. Hopefully now that the oak trees have stopped dropping pollen fronds and the yard and car are clean, a little more stitching can be done.
