Finishes 16 - 22 and Week 12/3 progress

Hi Blogger Friends. I made some decent progress on my big pieces this week.

I will get the black done on Cars this week.

Poor Donald didn't get much love. But I've been working on him for 6 months and am tired of him. I think he will be going in the UFO box after this week.

I have kept up with my strand a day on Beauty and the Beast. I'm at about 4800 stitches.

I stitched Alice's bow and started her hair. She WILL get done this year.

I'm behind on my strand a day on Ariel but I will get caught up.

Finishes 9 - 15, a start and Week 11/3 progress

Hi Blogger Friends. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments. I've had a rough week. I spent 4 hours in the ER on my birthday but they couldn't find anything wrong. I guess thats a good thing.

I have managed my finish a day. I managed my 700 stitches in Cars but not much else.

Finishes 2-8 and Week 10/3 progress

Hi Blogger Friends. Thank you for the nice comments. I did a strand (I average about 95 stitches out of a strand) a day on my 5 big pieces and I also managed a finish a day. The weather is still nasty hot. I hope I can keep up.
