May Theme-a-Licious

The theme for May was Monchrome May.  So I started a new project this month where almost all the colors were purple.  There were a few green areas, but most of the piece is purple.

Next month's theme is Jumanji June.

10 Hour Rotation Finished

I completed my 10-hour rotation on Mr. Bear last night.  Doesn't seem like I got much completed, but I guess I did.  I now have the main teddy bear's head and some of the pillows in the background.  That's why I love before and after pictures!  It shows me I really am getting stuff done!

May WIPocalypse Check-In

Topic: What were you stitching this time last year and did you finish it?
Last year at this time I was working on four main projects.  I was working on Coke Santa by Stoney Creek, Noah's Journey by Dimensions, and Snowdome Stocking by Donna Kooler.  None of those were finished of course.  They still meander through my WIP rotation schedule.  I did, however, finish Noah's Friends by Jenny Barton.  (We won't mention that I didn't finish it until December).
Noah's Friends

This month, I am currently rotating between Tepee Bears by Bucilla, Mr. Bear by Designs by the Needle, Sugarplum Stocking by Bucilla, Nutcracker Needlepoint by Janlynn, Blue Jean Teddy Quilt by Bucilla, and Christmas By the Letter by Lizzie Kate.  My focus project this month is Let's Do Wine by Imaginating (a new start for a Christmas finish, I hope).
