You know what that means, don't you?
MORE TIME FOR STITCHING!
Now, all of this free time to craft can be too much of a good thing. Without precautions in place, the day might come where my husband will come home to find me unconscious, buried under a pile of craft supplies. In order to make sure that I give each project the attention it deserves, I am utilizing the power of HabitRBG to keep me on track. I set up my first negative habit--from now on, I will lose points if I start a new project when I already have a work-in-progress in that category (knitting or embroidery.)
So far, I have finished the April and May squares for the Once Upon a Time Sampler.

| April--Goldilocks and the Three Bears |

| May--Jack and the Beanstalk |
I like the Beanstalk square because Jack looks just like my nephew!
Other updates:
- The Torah mantle I've been working on is a lot more challenging than I expected. It is made out of a white satiny fabric with a floral pattern woven in. This fabric was meant for wedding dresses. That makes it difficult to stitch on--it's like I have to do embroidery on top of satin stitch. I'm having to adapt the design I was planning to do by changing the stitches and ways that I transfer the pattern onto the fabric.
- My end of the year tasks have delayed my ability to start the polar bear pattern for my class, but I plan on starting after I work on the Torah mantle.
