20th January Project

Being more then just a little lazy yesterday, I almost forgot to even stitch.  I cant believe it myself either.  We ended going to an Antique Village which was a little street of about 15 shops.  Both my Husband and I have things we are always hunting for, and it is always exciting to see what is waiting around the corner.  We ended up with a few new treasures, and had lots of fun looking.  Amazing the different kinds of people in antique stores-- and often thoughts run through my mind, 'what are they hunting for?"  Another thought is "I hope it isnt what I am hunting for!"  LOL.  I have never met anyone at an antique shop looking for the same thing as me at the same time, either they were there before and bought it, or I beat them to it! 
I picked up late last night The Bramble and the Rose by Ink Circles.  This is such a great piece.  My Friend reminded me of how I dont really like more then 2 WIP's at a time, and I totally agreed with her.  At this time, with more then 15 WIP's I am beyond passing the crazy farm, I now actually live there :)
I was looking for a pic of where I had left off, and not remembering where it was on my computer, you can upload pics from your blog that you have already posted.  Amazing, going through the 100's that are on there, looking back at all the projects that I have worked on since starting this blog almost 2 years ago.  Wow, was that fun!  I am not the only one, who forgets what they have stitched, especially because I do not have most of them framed and hanging up in my home.  Most are laying on top of each other in a drawer, waiting for their day of display to come.  Lottery anyone?!!!!!
I got a few stitches in last night, not too many, but enough to see slight improvement from the top pic.
I hope to be a little more proactive today, but you never know.  I will remember at an earlier time to stitch today, just on what, is always a mystery!

  2. I wish I only had 2 WIPs too. That would be ideal. But we always start more than we finish.

  6. Very pretty! I love how intricate this design is. And I agree with you, I have a hard time focusing on more than one or two WIPs at a time.

  8. What a stunner, this is! So pretty! I love a really good antique store - there's nothing better than poking around and finding just the thing you didn't even know you were looking for!
