A Little Weekend Stitching

I had plans for stitching this weekend.  I really did.  But, I let myself get sidetracked, on what I really could not tell you but I didn't sit down to stitch until late in the afternoon.  Ah well, progress was made and that's the important part.

Another important thing - a huge Thank You for a RAK!!!  I woke up this morning to an email from Heaven and Earth Designs saying that Pull the Other Thread had gifted me with this chart:

 

It is Shakespearean Fantasy and includes representations from 18 plays.  I haven't had a chance to see the piece up close enough to figure them all out, but I have got Hamlet, MacBeth, The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet and Richard III (I think).  To say that I am thrilled is an understatement.  I have spent the day, up 'til now, looking at the color list, pulling threads, and generally planning. I love the planning process for a new project!!  Thank you again!  Now to get around my being intimidated by HAEDs and actually start!!

 

As I mentioned, I did little stitching this weekend.  Saturday afternoon/evening was Just Nan's Spring in the Air's last day in rotation and I did finish band three and get a start on band four:

 

And yesterday saw Chatelaine's Secret Victorian Garden go on the frame for its week of stitching.  It went from here:

To here:

The backstitching in the windows and the trees were done during the last round of the rotation, I am not sure why I don't have a photo showing that.  This is my last week of recuperation and I am determined to get a good portion of this corner done, so I should get stitching!!!
