Stitching mania (Updated)

Hi, everyone! With a three-day weekend I was able to get a lot accomplished on my WIP 4 Saisons in between laundry and house cleaning.


Stitching: January 16-18, 2010

As you can see I'm almost finished with Block 2. I think I might be able to get this block done by the upcoming weekend when I start stitching on it again.



You may have noticed that there is quite a large tree in the middle that I haven't started yet. I plan on stitching the tree at the very end once I have all the surrounding blocks completed.

At the moment, I have no other stitching projects started as I want to get Block 2 finished before starting something new. I do have my eye on several charts that I would like to purchase soon!

In other news, I went by my local Abba Temple to an antique show on Saturday. I didn't see anything that really caught my attention, but it was nice to browse.

I've finished The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes and The Return of Sherlock Holmes with the 'death' of Holmes and his return in the Case of the Empty House. I was able to check out a 1930s copy of the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes stories. I hope to start the novels and other case files after finishing Mairelon the Magician by Patricia Wrede.

~Recap for January~

Currently reading:

1. A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle - the first novel in which Sherlock Holmes is introduced to readers in 1887. Not the first detective-type in the literary world since Inspector Bucket in Charles Dickens' Bleak House claims that role, but still a clever one!

Until next time!! Happy reading/stitching!
