I have been asked to show my progress on three projects that I am currently working on -- ALL due by January (12 Night). Usually, when they are gifts, or Kingdom Projects, I do not post photos of the WIP. But, since two are know-about by others and the gift recipient (for the third piece) is not on LJ, I feel that I can post the images, and feel ( Read more... )

When I do my stitch time, I do not figure it "hourly" (sometimes I stitch fast, other times slower). I figure things by the "object"; as in the smaller tree(s) I figure 3 day. Two days for fill-in & one day for outlining. The leaves are figured as 2 days for fill and 1 day for outlines. This gives me 6 days to complete a whole tree. True, I might complete it in less time scheduled, and that is good. But, if something unplanned happens (errands, store run, someone comes over, etc.), then I know I still have time to complete it.

Even on a scheduled off day (holiday or tour day), if I can plan 1-2 hours of stitch time (usually at night when hubby is watching TV) I am happy. As I usually plan no embroidery on an "off" day due to not knowing exactly how long we will be gone.

Being as the 2 panels are on 24" frames, and the bear is done in tiny stitches, these are not taken elsewhere to work on (only work on these at home).
