In the Doldrums
I know I'm making a lot of progress on this every week. I just don't feel like it. The piece has only the three bottom squares that already have stitching in them to be finished. I need to push on.

Work Around
I told you about the one stitch over problem in a previous post. Here's my workaround: I've stitched the top part of the Chinese character so I can make sure something's in the right place. Now I can just ad the reds in around it. There's not going to be a real difference in looks if they're a stitch off.

Blue and More Blue
I am back to feeling like all I'm doing is sky on this. It -should- end in a few more lines, as the sky is almost done.

Crazy #6 - Renoir
This is one of a series of octagons I previously purchased from Fireside Stitchery. I finally got around to starting it as part of my Crazy January. The full outline is done, so you can see that when I get back to this, it'll be a fairly quick and easy stitch.
Founded
I have the foundation of the central building done in the bottom now, and some backstitching on the side. Another part is definitely taking shape.

Crazy #5- European Fountain
This was a small kit I bought while in France a few years ago. I pulled it out and stitched it in a few days for the Crazy January Challenge. It was great to get one done!
Getting Things DONE
Just after the beginning of the year, I looked at the stuff in my stitch closet and saw a huge pile of things that were stitched but not finished. I decided it was time to buckle down and get things done. This is the first I picked - Jubilation. It's now an ornament.
