So here's my progress on Chatelaine Summer Afternoon. It's stitched on 28 count
antique white evenweave using DMC, Caron Waterlilies, Rainbow Gallery Petite Braid and Mill Hill beads. This is pages 1 and 2 and I just love it! It is so incredibly pretty. I was going to carry on with it this week but seen as I'd got two pages done I decided to leave it until next time I my rotation.

This week it's the turn of HAED Summer ACEO but I didn't stitch last night as I had a headache. Damned things are plaguing me again and I'm hoping they go soon. I am having my eyes tested as I figured it might not be a bad idea. I only had them tested last July but it will nearly 3 years since I needed a new prescription. Unfortunately I can't get an appointment until 24th Feb.
I started Heirloom Embroideries Peachy Biscornu on Saturday. I thought I'd got the front 
finished on Sunday afternoon then realised I hadn't backstitched the green! LOL! So I made a start then I decided I had to put my stitching down as I couldn't concentrate on it while watching The Day After Tomorrow! It was rather gripping. Anyway this beautiful piece is just gorgeous to stitch and I can't wait to get the back done then stitch it up!

I'm sort of wishing we'd said until 1st March and I'd be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel but never mind! February is a short month so there won't be too much longer to go after that! LOL!

You can stay on the wagon. I heard you had enough stitching to keep you going another few weeks.

Great progress on both pieces! I love Summer Afternoon! Hope your headaches get better, they are no fun. I'll be having my eyes checked soon too, for the same reason.
Hello Sally,
Both pieces look great!I wouldn't mind trying my hand at a Bicornu, but it would probably end up looking nothing like it was supposed to. Lol.
Hope your headaches ease off soon.

Sally, I do hope the headaches have eased some. Both Summer Afternoon and Peachy Biscornu are beautiful!!
love your wips! I do admire you being on the stash wagon .. not an easy time with Market .. there are really some nice designs out there! Hope the headaches get better :)
Sally, I'm sooo sorry to hear of your headaches---could be related to your depression, or maybe that has lifted some---but still....
The biscornu is lovely (I have the stuff to try one), and I really, really love your Chateine in progress. Your stitching is always a joy to see!
