Finally at long last...I started and finished a stitching project. It has been a nasty, long dry spell but hopefully it is now broken. I joined the Nordic Needle Bookmark Club and got my first kit yesterday. I started it yesterday afternoon and finished it today. This is one of Roz's designs and certainly worked off quickly. I had forgotten a lot but eventually got back in the swing. The picots kicked my butt. I think I will do the pattern again at some point just to get them right.
Three pix...Stitched:
This is done on a 25 count prefinished bookmark with ThreadworX #8 Perle cotton. The color is 81156 Botanic Garden. It is lovely creams, plums and greens.
I am now inspired. Tomorrow I think I will dig out Emie Bishop's Quilter's Garden. I started it a long time ago but I might be able to finish it now!
I have also finished 8 more blankets for Project Linus. The first 3 pictures are infant blankets, the next two are youth/teen ones. I have two more infant blankets cut and punched ready to go too.
It feels so good to be creative again. I think part of this is because my "girls" (the boys girlfriends) have been coming over to craft with me. Part of it is I think I am finally over the awful stress that my job was causing me. I don't really care what it is, I am just glad to get this part of me back again!

You are inspiring me to get back to RMC! But now I want to do some of that Hardanger. Love the bookmark. Keep up the good work on the blankets too.
