I did work on Gathering Pinecones this past week. I put it on my scroll rods hoping to make it easier to work on. I got a little done. I just do not like stitching on linen. This week I am back to working on Gathering Honey. Lots of backstitching to do.

I started a new project this past week - Orchids from British Cross Stitcher September 2004. I really like the colors in this one. I have also dug out a very old WIP - Gaithering Pinecones from Hillside Samplings. I started this one back on 9/8/01. I have struggled with this one as it is stitched on linen and has alot of specialty stitches. I am going to work on it this week and see what happens.

I finished the freebie I was working on 7/3/09. Ed the Hedgehog from the British Cross Stitcher magazine. I also put in alot of time doing more backstiching on Gaithering Honey. I still have alot to go. I framed Angel of Cross Stitch by Joan Elliot. This one has been sitting in my completed box since 2004. It is the first picture that I have had framed that I am keeping for myself.

I have also been working on kitting up 3 more projects to start.
