Weekend Progress Report: May 8, 2011

Since this was a very busy week professionally: four First Communion rehearsals, two actual First Communion ceremonies, a May Crowning, prepping the registration 2011-12 mailing, updating and checking the Confirmation paperwork [May 21st is Confirmation] while there is still time to do something about any glitches, in addition to the usual class schedules ... I didn't expect to get as much stitching done as I actually managed.



BAP: TW's Autumn Faerie: Section III is nearly done. See photos on previous post.


HOE: my Prairie Schooler Exchange piece is off to a good start with approximately a third of the stitching done. The piece, which is 82hx52w, was supposed to be stitched on 32 ct but I am stitching it on 40ct Silkweaver Meadow Mist to scale down the size enough to make it suitable for a finish as a long narrow pin pillow. The mailing date is June 1st, with an overseas destination ... so I probably won't be able to share a photo till mid or late June.


Given the limited time available for stitching, I am not surprised that I didn't get to spend any time on the 2010 WIPs and UFOs or Crazy January Challenge pieces currently in my stitching bag. I may be able to get some stitching done on those projects next week, during the lull between the sacraments. May is always a crazy month but things smooth out again in June ... and I do get to take off four weeks over the summer months ... so an end to the stress is in sight.

Glad you got some stitching done. After all, you DO need to relax somehow!!
