WiP Weekend!

Since I have a bit of stitching on the go at the moment (3 WiP and 2 more that I really would like to get a start on.) I decided that I should bring a piece to work with me to work on at lunch!

I used to do this with my old job. In fact, I started Wreath during lunch breaks. Makes for a nice mental break from work. I had even bought a 11" square QSnap frame that I could put the piece in. Perfect!

So instead of starting another piece, or moving Lily or Once Upon a Time off of their scroll frames, I put Wreath in the QSnap, tucked it in my stitching bag and off to work we went! The 11" frame fits perfect in the bag, and since I bought the floss for Wreath it's on bobbins in a case instead of in a baggie like the material pack for Once Upon a Time is (so in theory it will stay cleaner and not get lost.)

Wreath is NOT easy stitching and I am attempting to work more using parking with it, to hopefully speed it up a little. I don't mind how detailed and intricate it is, I just wish it would go faster. Right now I'm fighting with the mice and have given up on the orchids for the time being. The faces of the mice were blocks of color, I needed a confetti break. 

I haven't made a lot of progress on it. But at least it's running to and from work with me and I feel better about not ignoring it!

I made significant progress on Lily over the Long Weekend that we just had, since I've made myself a deal that I will finish her before I start on either of the new projects. Pages 4 & 5, the Fairy wings/head/hand is nearly complete with just a few confetti stitches missing.
