I wanted to post before I headed out to work this morning. I got some stitching done while I was at my MIL's this weekend but truthfully, I stitch better at home in my own chair with my own light and my own "space". I am making good progress but it seems like it is taking forever now because I am doing the wreath and I am constantly switching colors. Fortunately, I own a Pako Needle Organizer So I am able to thread up needles of each color and just work from section to section. The satin stitch hearts are done with 4 strands of floss so I have 2 needles for that color, one loaded with 2 strands and one loaded with 4.

I have a real dilemma though. This pattern calls for little pieces of "baby's breath" to be stitched with perle cotton throughout the wreath. The blossoms are done with french knots. OK, maybe this is two problems. 1) I really hate doing french knots. I can do them but I really hate it and 2) I just don't even like how the baby's breath looks. I don't like it in the wreath. I thought about doing the stems and using beads for the french knots but I don't like how that looks either. I am not sure how I will work this out. *sigh* there is always something.

Ok, off to get ready for work!
