Oldest WIP Status

After last month's post on my oldest WIP, I was embarrassed that I have not added a stitch to my oldest WIP!  This past month I put it into gear - not necessarily high gear, but into gear.   I am going neck and neck with the  two WIP's that I am concentrating on.   I actually have been faithfully devoting only work to these two cross stitching projects.    I  grew tired of doing finishing work on my etui and haven't touched it for two weeks....and I am so close.....just pop in the bottom, attach the top and viola 

Since I haven't attached the ribbons, I am holding it together with a rubber band.

but alas....time has been devoted to my oldest project in the pile.......I was able to log a record six hours over the course of the last weekend and I am getting close.   I completed the section with the sewing machine and am working on the pink quilt.   I really can't believe how fast I have been able to get this done. Really these two projects are neck and neck......and I am amazed I have not waivered and been tempted to pick up other cross stitch projects.    (there it is again.....cross stitch projects)  Did you see it.....my veiled reference that there are other projects I have been working on.    I knitted two scarves and have been cutting up a storm of hexagons and have cut out a baby quilt I need to assembly.    I am truly amazed at how much I can get done now that I am not doing someone else's paperwork and financial reports weighing me down mentally and sucking my time and energy.

Happy stitching all!
