Oldest most challenging wip

Hiya!

In one of the facebook groups they are having a challenge this month to work on your most challenging project.  The challenge is to stitch 100 stitches a week for the month on whatever project you choose.  This is mine.

It was a free pattern I found online and I think it is called draft horses.  As I am sure you can see from the picture it is complete confetti.  I think the further up I go the better the confetti gets or I hope that is the case.  I started this project probably in 2010, maybe 2009 so it is my oldest wip.  Also I taped the chart together to make one big chart and at the folds it is falling apart and making it impossible to read the chart.  And the last most challenging issue is that I decided to stitch it 2 over 1 on 28ct.  It is so packed full of stitches that I am having a very hard time finding the empty spots for the missing stitches, so I am starting to park some threads hoping that will make it easier.

I will finish this someday!!

Week 1 challenge complete.  I stopped counting stitches at 150, so I stitched at least 150 stitches.

I also found out I am not a stitch counter.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy stitching!!

Little Wings and Bunnies progress

Hiya!

Little Wings had a few more stitches added in her sleeve.  Her dress is so close to being done!  Yay!

I also made good progress yesterday on Beatrix Potter Bunnies.  I had my nephew and niece for the day and all the kids played outside most of the day so I sat on the deck and stitched away.

Hope you all are having a lovely day!

Happy Stitching!

Long overdue!

Hello my stitchy people!

My Beatrix Potter Bunnies are back in the snaps for another turn.  Here is what they looked like way back in September!  I was shocked to find out it had been that long since I worked on them!

And here is the start of page 12.

I also had another little stitching session on Little Wings and finished the highest pink bow.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

The Color Run

Hello friends!

This is what I looked like after my 5km run walk.  A few friends and myself participated in The Color Run this morning whose slogan is "The Happiest 5k on the planet"  and we did have fun!

The Color Run, if you have never heard of it, is a run where along the course they throw colored powder at you and by the end of it you look something like I do above.  It was so much fun!

Hope you are all having a fun weekend too!
