Wish me luck. I'd like to have it finished before Christmas this year. So I'll be ready for year 2 in the 12 years of Christmas.

Well since forever and a half ago, I've been saying I'd be picking up 1st Day of Christmas again. Well I've finally lived up to my words and have
finally picked this puppy back up again and even put in a few new stitches. Now to see if I can persevere until it's done.
Wish me luck. I'd like to have it finished before Christmas this year. So I'll be ready for year 2 in the 12 years of Christmas.

well since that last post I've even managed to get a few more stitches in. Before I picked it up I had in the central overone section the Partridge and the
tree below the partridge stitched. I've been working on the tree to the left of the partridge though when I have extra floss I'll throw it in on the
right side.

Hey Deanna, I checked the old thread. If you haven't stitched on it since your last picture I'm catching up to you. I'm one thread length from
finishing the Partridge scene which is what it looks like you have finished. I may yet have hopes of not winning the slowest stitcher prize on this one. ;)

Go Jen!
I found that the over-one was easier once I got into it, but I couldn't work on it for too long at once. I'm looking forward to doing my next one in February, but I'm glad it's only one a year. Nicola |

Actually Nicola, I've stitched enough over-one by this point in time it doesn't feel so bad. For me it's actually picking a piece up and actually
putting stitches in that is the big Road block. Seems like on most of my pieces once I get to this point it's not so bad and I make good progress. I just
have been busy, or distracted by some exchanges, etc and my regular rotation just falls apart.

I know how you feel Cathy. That's part of why I finally picked him back up again. It'd be nice to be finished and ornamentified for Christmas. At a
minimum at least all stitched before the next Feb SAL. I do have 2 or 3 Cloissine fruits waiting on ornamentification as well, however.
Though I got to the point where I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and said ah yes Pick him up one more time and He'll be done so let's get distracted by the other pretties, there's plenty of time between now and Christmas. At least I'm making good time zipping through my rotation. There's even a chance this guy will come back up again in October.

Well I know it hasn't been that long since I last posted, but I've managed with TWOctober to blast through my TWs in rotation. I expect to be HDing
either later this week or next week. So far today I've stitched one of the corners of Holly Leaves, and "On the 1st day" So lots of progress
today. I have 3 corners left and the rest of the words, and bs in the center and I'll be HD-ing. Just in time too so I can be ready to start 2nd day next
Feb.
