Bois Le Duc

Well I finally had to give myself a break from MTM. It is starting to become a chore stitching it every day. I think I may have to revise my goals for MTM. I think my new goal will be to keep up to date each month with Mystery IX and just stitch on MTM in rotation until I have caught up. I started it 3 months behind and I feel like I have been stithing it forever just to get up to date. So, if it ends up taking more time than the 12 months to finish, so be it. I will still try to catch up, but not at the expense of all my other stitching. I think it might have been a bit ambitious of me to expect to be up to date on 2 of Martinas large projects at once and still have other projects on the go, particularly when one was started late. I feel much better since I made this decision:)

So with all this in mind I worked on Long Dogs' Bois Le Duc tonight which was such a welcome change:) Speaking of Long Dog, I received an email from Julia Line (of Long Dog) today with the new release. I can't wait for this to arrive:) It's called Sarabande.

I don't blame you at all!!! That might happen to me before long too (not keeping up with two Chatelaines!!)

Your start to Bois Le Duc is fantastic - I can't wait to stitch it too - and Sarabande and Bliss Fairy are both MUST HAVES!!! Your blog is such at treat!

I forgot to ask - what fabric are you using for Bois Le Duc? It's a big sampler, right?

I totally understand about needing breaks from the Chatelaine designs. That's what I'm doing with Alpine right now. I love it and it's my focus piece, but I still need to have a rest as it is a lot of rather fiddly stitching.

I tried being up to date at first as well, but the pressure was just too great and I stopped enjoying the stitching. I figure I'm doing this for relaxation, calm and enjoyment so if it's stressing me out I'm totally missing the point.

I do like the new Long Dog. I need new patterns like a hole in the head, but it's still tempting.
