One Down, Nine to Go
I have finished the first of my projects for my WIP Killer challenge. I finished “B is for Bunny” today. As of the more recently voting, it was tied in first place for the project you all thought I should finish first. So, that’s what I did.
Here’s the pic of the finished project (pardon the wrinkles as I haven’t pressed it):
I’m not sure which project I’ll focus on tackling next. Rosemarkie was the piece tied with B is for Bunny, but I may focus on a couple of the smaller pieces first just to get a few more things knocked off the list. I’ve gotten all the cross stitching done on Rosemarkie, so I only have the backstitching remaining. Unfortunately for me, I detest backstitching and there’s a LOT of it on that piece.
Finally, I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks for the emails and comments that I’ve gotten about the death of my brother-in-law. I spoke with my Mom last night and my sister is doing as well as can be expected given the circumstances. Everyone is trying to keep her stress levels down as much as possible to hopefully prevent any flare-ups with her MS. Weather permitting, I’ll be going out to see her in a couple of weeks. (Feb. 15).

Your finish is wonderful Melissa, I think these charts are so cute!
And my heart goes out to your sister, whenever something like this happens you can’t help to think what it would be like, and I can’t imagine. I am keeping her and her children in my thoughts and prayers. And I hope that you are doing well too…I know it is hard when you can’t get to those you love fast enough. {{{HUGS}}} to you.

Woohoo! Happy dance! Now, don’t put poor Rosemarkie off to last. Try to put 1 length of BS into her before going on to something else (every time you stitch).
I know you’re anxious to get home and hug you sis. Hugs from me.
