What's that on her head?

I think there was just a weekend, the calendar said there was one but it doesn't feel like it.

I did get a few things done which was good, including starting to actually inventory my specialty thread.  While I was doing that I also had to decide if I was sorting them by name or number - decisions.   I also double checked to make sure that my pattern inventory was up to date - don't want to buy duplicates.

I spent some time working on Touching the autumn sky.  I have not really been enjoy this piece, and I can't even really say why.  It doesn't seem to be flowing but I am trying to stay with it.

I started her hair - without a face it sort of reminds me of like an attacking alien or something.  

Missing parts

I have an update from weekend stitching, which I meant to post yesterday.

I have been making noticeable progress on Touching the autumn sky, but she is still missing body parts like feet and a head... clearly still more work to do.

There's hands!

Here we are the middle of April, not that you would know that here in Ottawa by the weather - it is snowing, with ice pellets and freezing rain expected later today. I guess I will have to stay in and stitch all day.

I have managed some progress on two projects since last blog

Tour - I have been trying to fill in all the missing stitches, which is slow and annoying when stitching over one but progress was made

And I have been working on Touching the Autumn Sky. she now has hands and a coat... and a variety of colours that don't always make sense

Some of my stitching friends seem to think that I should focus stitch and get her done.. but I am on the fence.  

Skirt of many colours

I have been working on Touching the autumn sky, specifically the many coloured skirt area.  I keep thinking about the Dolly Parton song Coat of many colours when I work on this.

I have made some noticeable progress I think.
