Stitching Progress

Progress to March 4, 2009

My progress on the Ellen Maurer-Stroh Rose Sampler; not as far as some of the other stitchers taking part in this SAL, but I’m on track to finish it by the end of the year (which is the group’s goal). Surprisingly, I’m really enjoying this monochrome stitching; I though I would find it boring.

I’m not doing very with posting each day, so far. But, it is getting me to think more often about what I can post on, so I think I am accomplishing something with it, even if I don’t end up with 20-30 posts by the end of March.

We’ve been suffering through a cold here; my husband and I had it 2 weeks ago, and this week my son has it. Only one day of school missed (Tuesday), and with plenty of rest each day, this morning he announced he was “all better!” Well, the nose still sounds a little stuffy, and he was still coughing, but he was more talkative during breakfast, and in all seemed to have more energy, so I believe he is over the worst of it. We’ll see how much energy he still has when he comes home from school. Yesterday he wasn’t even home half an hour before he was off for a nap. I’m guessing he’ll still need a nap, but perhaps it won’t be needed quite so soon, nor quite so long of one.
