Can you guess what I am still working on??

Um, yep... Medieval Town Mandala.... but not a whole lot of it tonight. I have to quit early to get some more birthday packages ready for Mike to mail off tomorrow!! Busy, busy month for those birthdays!! Anyhow... now Medieval Town Mandala gets put away for two days while I do my SALs...
And, finally... at long last... look what I have here! Yes, that is my Autumn Fields belfast for the Neighborhood RR!! OK, now to get that done too!! Thank you Silkweaver! I will have to bring this in to work in the next day or two and start getting my squares basted, and then once Medieval Town Mandala is done I will stitch my house.... I just hope I can get it all done!

And, speaking of Silkweaver, today I finally received my FOTM. They mailed it a week late again. I love this one - it is Wandering Ivy belfast. So nice!

You know.... I have just been thinking about the incredible gamut of emotions right now in our little world of stitching bloggers... we have the extreme joy of Karen's miracle pregnancy, the excitement of Jo's new job, Katrina's recent nuptials and Nikki's new graduate program....and we have Barbara's home robbery, Isabelle's and Jenna's terrible migraines, and... the sudden and tragic death of Laura... from the most extreme joy to the deepest sorrow, we have really been going through a lot, haven't we? It's great that we are all here for each other, in the good times and the bad... hugs to all of you.


Stitched on today: Medieval Town Mandala

Hi Carol - It's working! ;D
Love that Silkweaver Belfast you have there, both of them just beautiful! MTM is an incredible project. You are all kinds of ambitious!!

I think we have a need to share our lives with others and blogging has become another wonderful way we can do that with new friends all over the globe.
A big hug back to you :)

Hey Carol!

Just thought i would drop by and say hi! Your Medieval Town Mandela is looking great! Hang in there you are almost done with the corners. Have a great Valentine's Day! Hugs to you!

Hi Carol, your new fabrics are lovely! :D You sent Becky some great gifts too - what a sweetie you are!!

You are so right about all that is happening within our community... Isn't it amazing how our Internet friends have truly become an important part of our lives! How sincerely and deeply we share in the joys and sorrows...

(Although, believe me, my migraines must be less than ten percent of what Jenna has been enduring for years! Mine only last a week every month... I am truly touched that you've been thinking of me though - but really, really it is not that bad! ;) )

Hang in there with Medieval Town Mandala - those corners will finally get all stitched up!! ;)

(oh, and you've added an RSS feed to your blog! :D)

Beautiful stitching on MTM! And I love those fabrics.

You are right, there are so many things going on right now in the blogging world. It feels good to be able to share them though, and not bundle them all up inside.

Wandering Ivy! I hope that's not what I get for my FOTM since I JUST bought that from them (hasn't arrived yet) but I'm hoping to use it to restart blackwork dragon in green on it. At least if i get duplicate it is a nice color.

I love watching the progress on MTM. Looks great.

Bastet said...

MTM is looking wonderful. I don't know how you do it. Those corners look like they'd've put me off for a bit.

Schokti said...

Carol - so sorry for my absence, my friend! Being a computer orphan gets in the way of my blog-reading and my commenting time. I am so sorry I haven't commented more!

Your FOTM is fabulous! Any plans on what you will be using it for?

Dawn T. said...

MTM is really stunning! I love your new fabrics.

Sylvie said...

Great work on MTM. You have some lovely fabrics too!

Nicki said...

Yout MTM looks SO beautiful! Such gorgeous colours, but I can see there's a load of stitching in there :) Glad your FOTM arrived - I'm still waiting for mine, maybe it was posted late too :)

BeckySC said...

MTM is looking amazing :) :)

I have missed you the past couple of days :) BIG hugs :)

Judith said...

MTM looks beautifull Carol, but I will be happy when this part is finished as those corners are so big.
Beautifull fabrics you got there.

Leslie aka zoeandcooper said...

Yeah, more than halfway done and looking great! Good luck with your SALs and the rest of those b-day presents.

I love that wandering ivy belfast. It is such a pretty green. I may have to get me some:)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Katrina said...

Hi Carol,those are lovely fabrics, I'm hoping my recent SW order might arrive any day now too :)

Litla Skvís said...

Thanks so much for the info on the fabric! :o)

MTM is coming along. So much stitching in this part!
Autumn Fields is gorgeous, as is Wandering Ivy.
Thanks for the warm thoughts. I love you too! :) I'm very happy to have all of my friends online.
And I'm glad to have all of the support.
BTW, I'm glad I read through the comments and saw that Isabelle said your RSS feed is back. Now I can keep up with you easily. Prepare for more comments! ;)

Great progress..!! Can't wait to see more!

Dianne said...

I agree with Von about how great it is to get to know so many stitchers through their blogs.We seem to have a lot in common-one thing it seems is cats!
I can't wait to see the finished MTM.

Two corners down Carol! You can make it!

I ordered Wandering Ivy myself and it should be here any day but mine is on opalescent fabbie!

I'm hoping it'll work with Christmas Elf Fairy.
