Name and Claim

2 weeks, 14 days, no stomach meds from tomorrow morning - the countdown to my surgery has really started.

I have picked these 3 projects to give the most attention through these 14 days.
The Eeyore cross stitch embroidery is one DD1 abandoned years back. I have finished her other abandoned embroideries - Piglet, Winnie the Pooh, and together with a couple of mini flowers she has finished herself I will make her a cushion.
Her stalling point is when she counts wrong and with 4x4 cross stitches to 1/4" that is easily done. I do not care to correct her mistakes. I just work around them and nobody can tell, not even her :-)

The red and white block is a Nearly Insane block. My goal for January is 15 blocks and 15 blocks it will be.
My Christmas coloured Dear Jane blocks gets a break until later this spring when I will be doing them again for myself.

The applique block is for week #3. These blocks are addictive, but I am not sure if I want to make all 50 - time will tell.

  9. Your Nearly Insane is going to be stunning........

    You have enough to keep you occupied while you wait. The time will go so fast and the outcome will be better than you can imagine.

    Did you know that I am also in the block a week challenge with May and the others? I just entered but I know I can get on track soon.
