Two Wee Happy Dances

I have had a very productive start to the weekend with two wee happy dances today.

First up was pansy number six on “Stiefmütterchen.” This pretty little pinkish-purple pansy stitched up super quickly in three and a half hours. When I was finished with it I thought about starting another one, but instead decided to finish up Cathy’s round robin.

Technically I didn’t need to have Cathy’s robin finished until May 1, but since this is the last round and everyone is anxiously waiting to get her robin returned, I wanted to get it done as soon as possible. I have actually had it for a while (Dawn gave it to me in person when I was in the US), but didn’t have time to start on it until this week.

Cathy’s theme is “Autumnology” by The Trilogy: These patterns are small and stitch up quickly. I stitched the scarecrow as it was the last square left on the robin. In her letter Cathy mentioned that since I would stitch last I would get “the short stick” in terms of choices, but the funny part is even if I would have had first choice I still would have stitched the scarecrow. Because I think he is cute and a little bit funny looking, he is definitely my favorite pattern on this chart.

Tomorrow I will break out “Celtic Spring” and jump feet first into this month’s Stitch-A-Thon, so I probably won’t be around with any progress until Sunday evening. Have a great weekend everyone!
