Plum Pudding, a project that won't leave my hands

It has been over a week since I have been able to last post. I have been working for the last two weeks on a temp assignment, needless to say that it has been cutting into my stitching time!

Last Sunday I finished page four of plum pudding (minus the beading)! 

It was about 1030 Sunday night when I finished the page. I didn't touch my project again until yesterday afternoon. 

My sister was over (I had been at a brownie sleepover the night before so she was taking care of sprocket), we had some fun crafting time while watching movies. 

I had put it down for an hour or so at one point. I was tired from the sleepover and was having a hard time concentrating on the project. Sections of the pieces were on page five and others were on page six. Once I was able to line up the pages properly without more confusion I picked up my needle again until I was too tired to stitch anymore. 

This is where I left off last. 

Today I am finishing off page five and starting on page six. 

I can't seem to put this project down and that is a problem for my other projects! I suppose the faster I finish this project the faster I'll be able to get back to my other projects that need my attention. They are peaking my attention again but not as much as plum pudding. 

It's a cold day so I am sure that I will accomplish a lot today. There was even the mention of the word 'snow' today, a stitching day indeed!

Stitchy Weekend

It was great to get away this past weekend and stitch to my heart's content without any responsibilities. 

I accomplished quite a bit too! It was odd for me though...I was the only one cross stitching while bestie was working on her dollhouse, another lady was making rag quilts and the rest were scrapbooking. The women that were scrapbooking have made me want to dig out my scrapbooking supplies and start making cards again. I will concentrate on my current projects first. 

I finished my pirate stitch which was five-six years in the making and I also worked on plum pudding. 

Saturday I stayed up way way too late stitching. I haven't stayed up that late to since we had the massive flooding in the city and I couldn't turn away from the news. This time around I was so jacked up on sugar and cappuccinos I couldn't sleep so I stitched...and stitched I did!

That above picture is what I completed Saturday night. I am sure I could of kept stitching for a couple more hours but I needed to be up at ten for breakfast so I sadly went to bed. 

After breakfast that morning I stitched all this!

I'm not sure if I want to continue working on this one or if I should put it down and start working on another of my WIPs on my list. I'm almost done this page...I think I'll finish this page and then move on to my next project...I'll only have five left after that! Progress indeed!

I think it is stitching up quickly! Bestie calls me the turbo stitcher. She says she doesn't know anyone else that can stitch as fast and as neatly as me. She and Andy are my biggest stitching supporters! Love you guys!!

More update pictures when I've completed the page.

What is that?...Another finish?

Well, I've done it again! I have another finish under my belt...that's number four!!! Woohoo!!

It's the second Sue Hillis pirate design I've done. The first one that I completed was for Andy and it says "love pirate ye've blundered me heart". I had started this one first but it was one of those that eventually made its home in a box to be forgotten. 

This is one of the projects I found after I started the rotation schedule. I only have one small project on the schedule right now. 

My latest finish was a real joy to stitch. I don't think there was any bad part of it even with all the quarter stitches and the back stitching. 

I have one more of the pirates design all kitted up and ready to go but I think for now I will concentrate on my bigger projects and try and knock a couple of those before Istart another project...whether it is a big project or a small one.
