Mel's Sunday Update on Monday

I have an excuse this week - I was evacuated from a bushfire zone yesterday!  It's OK for us, the fire moved off in a different direction .... phew!

Anyway this fortnight I really struggled with my stitching.  Going back to work and all the stress involved there-in; increase in migraine pain, wages negotiations, lack of time etc etc, my stitching slowed to a crawl.

I did however do a respectable amount on Rosanne's Big Blue Beast.  Due to migraines I had so many problems with placing the motifs - some nights I just can't count to three .... but it is done and off in the mail tomorrow to Sisu.  It is a gorgeous design, and I love floss colours Rosanne chose - in another head space I would have loved working on this design.

In and around the Round Robin, I also completed the second part on the Stitch Specialist's Tree of Stitches. Part 2 was smyrna stitch :)  One of my favourite stitches :)

Also in the past fortnight Mystery 3 was correctly guessed as Draco the Protector by Enchanting Lair. Once he was guessed he screamed loudly, so Draco has also been started now.

So for the next fortnight?  Maybe more on Draco, maybe more on Mystery 2. Either way I will start the next Round Robin as soon as I receive it from Julie, I don't want to get behind again :)
