... that's about how much self control I seem to have lately when it is coming to needle point projects. I like lots of little goals and plans. The problem crops up when you start looking at time for execution of said plan and target. A HAED isn't a little project, even if it is a mini - and most of mine aren't mini's.
Since it's Friday I hit up Traditional Stitches again - which is dangerous.

The issue is projects I have in mind for people. More notably for little people, like my nieces. Except, will they be old enough to appreciate it? Or worse yet. If I start now, by the time I am finished will the design still be something that they will like?!
Right now I am thinking the project for Claire, in Mini. On a hand dyed fabric instead of stitching the background.

So hopefully, on "Dusk" it'll look as good as it would on the "cloud like" blue fabric on the left for the top picture. I liked purple better. It's more girly. However it is also a whole lot more childish (maybe?)

My sister wanted a needle minder and I wanted to grab a grime guard for the Q-snap frames so I can figure out how to make my own. I also wanted some Thread Heaven conditioner to see how helpful it actually is and then ... well ... the wheels may have fallen off!
