My WIPs...

Hello, Stitchers!

First of all, I have decided to post my blog on Wednesdays. There is no special reason for Wednesday posts, it just sounds like a good day! If you guys would rather I post on a different day, just let me know and I will definitely consider it. After all, I am doing this blog for you!

I am going to start out with my works in progress. I had originally thought I would do all of them at once, but I think I will do one a week so that I can talk a little more about each one of them. I only have four WIPs, so we won't have too many posts on that subject.

The first one I am going to show you is Summer Sampler by Janlynn. I have been working on it for...a long time. Actually since May, 2010. I can't believe it has taken me so long, but as I am sure all of you know, life sometimes gets in the way.

So without further adieu...here is my main WIP...

This is the Summer Sampler

And this is my current progress on the Summer Sampler by Janlynn.

As I mentioned, I have been working on this one for over four years. It is not the only one I have been working on in that four years, but it is the main one I've been working on. As you can see, I only have a little bit left to do on it, and I will be really excited to get it finished! Unfortunately my working hours make it hard for me to stitch on a regular basis. 

In case you're wondering, I work in Long Term Care as a Licensed Practical Nurse and I work the 10 pm to 6 am shift. I try to do a couple of hours of stitching in the evening after I get up and before I go to work, but if I am really tired or if I have a lot to do before work I don't get to stitch in the evenings. So I do try and make up for it on my days off. Does anyone else face this problem of working the overnight shift? If so, when do you get to stitch? I'd be interested in hearing from you.

I will stop here, and next time I will show you all what I am working on for my four-year-old granddaughter. Until then, happy stitching!
