Getting ready...

Tomorrow begins our annual St. Michaels stitching retreat weekend.  A few close friends get together once a year at a little out of the way place in St. Michaels, Maryland.  We stitch, laugh, eat, laugh, exchange something we have stitched, laugh...and if there's time, we sleep haha.  I have been thinking, stitching, and thinking some more and trying my hardest to decide what I'll bring to stitch.  I'm not usually a procrastinator but this year I just couldn't get my act together to assemble my ornament for the exchange....until tonight.  I finished it up...so I'll post pictures after the weekend once the recipient has received hers.

I've mentioned before that I've lost my mojo, and hopefully this weekend will jump start it again.  I've been trying to finish up Leave a Light On so that I can start something new, but I guess I just got stuck trying to do the border.  I finally visited my LNS and got some more floss because I was afraid I was going to run out, and stitched on the border with a vengeance.  I'm almost done!  Hopefully I'll finish up this weekend.


I've been trying to get May's portion of the Linen and Threads SAL done too, and I guess I just ran out of steam.  I'll bring that too, and hope to finish that section.  Here's where I am on that...


Check back Monday, I'll have my Gifted Gorgeousness post and what I've accomplished over the weekend!  Happy Stitching!!

The leave a light on piece is looking lovely. The waves are beautifully designed. How much more do you have to do after the border is finished? Have fun at your retreat, it sounds like fun!

You're making great progress on both pieces despite the lack of mojo! I love the dark fabrics you've chosen for both pieces, but maybe that's what's giving you problems?

I hope your stitchy bug comes back and you enjoy your weekend!

Both pieces are looking great! I am sure your stitching weekend retreat will bump you back into your normal stitching routine. I'm rooting for you because your work is lovely and I want to see more. LOL!
