Oldest WIP Update

I've made a lot of progress on quite a few of my WIPs however, not all have been of the stitching variety.  Going room by room I am cleaning up odd little things that remain unfinished here and there. It is a good feeling to cross things off that have been on my to-do list for too too long.  Laundry Room paint touch ups, cutting and installing the additional shelving and organizing - Check; Spackling, sanding and painting the Dining Room crown modeling where is separated at the joints - Check; caulking the last wall of the crown model top and bottom in the bathroom - Check!  But enough, on to stitchie things.

Most of my time this last month has been dedicated to working on the assembly of the Petit Sampling Etui. I have 24 hours into it with probably another six to eight hours at least. I am at the point where I am joining outsides to linings and inserting gussets....it is the home stretch...or so I am telling myself.  So far, not terribly difficult but I may need a second set of hands during the next phase of assembly.







I did do a tiny bit on The Sheltering Tree.  Hopefully next month I will have more progress to share on it and on my oldest UFO - My Stitching Room  - to which I added not a stitch to this last month.
