Another International Hermit and Stitch Weekend has come and gone. Thank you to Joyce for organizing this once again - although I believe she found something other than stitching to do this weekend. I had grand plans for a very intensive stitching weekend, but was in a bit of a stitching funk yesterday. As a result I spent the majority of the day reading, doing housework if I was doing housework instead of stitching you know it was a real funk!! and playing around in iTunes it took several hours for me to decide on eight new songs - turns out iTunes is rather like blog reading, you start in one place, follow links and end up hours later nowhere near where you started! Today turned out to be a perfect hermitting day - windy, pouring rain and cold so I was able to settle in and get some stitching done.
On the frame this weekend and for the coming week is Papillon Creations' Eightsome Reel.

Both of your projects are biggies. Wonderful work!
Wonderful work :) as for the scan dilemma, make sure the scan image is saved as a jpg and that the file size isn't too large and that should work :) x
These are both lovely - great going!
Beautiful projects and progress!
Have a great week.
Love the Japanese one its stunning!!
Papillon Creations is so beautiful with all the lovely colours and delicate lace-like circles!! Your Chat is gorgeous too! Are you going to do the box when it's finished? I hear you on the clicking on blogs, following links and getting lost!! I do that all the time!!
AHAHAHAHA!!!! Looks like we were both ventured off a little this weekend, Susan. ;)
Oh!!!! I think I saw that bell ringing episode!!!!
Eightsome looks so pretty. More than halfway is a good place to be and YES, you can finish this!!!!! :D I know you can.
JOB is scrumptious, Susan. Have you tried putting your scan into your online album and then linking it to the blog? I owe you emails.... quite a few of them!!!!
Hi Susan
Your projects are looking beautiful!
Both projects are lovely. Sorry to hear the threads on Eightsome are a pain.
Both beautiful projects!! :)
Glad the scanning worked. Fiona and Joysze have said what I'd say!
I've switched to Photobucket because my Picasa album was almost full (my photo files were very big) and I just add pics there then copy the link into the blog. It's actually quicker than loading them via Blogger.
I love the progress on your Octagons and the Eightsome Reel.
The Octagonal Box is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to see more :)
You are so right about iTues, it is almost like blog hopping! I've wasted so much time on there! LOL
Your weekend piece by Pappillion is lovely but your Chatelaine is amazing!
Very pretty stitches!
Both are very pretty projects. I particularly love the Chatelaine, I have never seen it before on someone's blog (but I don't read all the blogs out there, of yourse, lol).
