I managed to finish two pieces this weekend. My current travel project, which was a Christmas ornament (yes, finally, I am starting to work on these), and another of Outi’s fabulous designs.
I kinda lost my Saturday. We went to Terry’s dad’s Friday evening, stayed overnight and then they went wedding suit shopping on Saturday. I elected to stay behind so that they could have some bonding time. I thought that I would be able to get some stitching done, but the light wasn’t cooperating with me at all, so I really didn’t accomplish much other than staring at the TV for hours. 😆 So, I was itching to leave by the time they came back. Partially because I was bored and partially because I had a headache coming on (most likely from trying to stitching in poor light). So, we traveled back home and Terry helped me nurse my aching head.
Sunday I wasn’t feeling myself. I just sat on the sofa and stitched most of the day. I was feeling a bit depressed, which surprised me and then I burst into uncontrollable tears for a little while. After that, I laid down for a nap and felt better when I woke up, but I feel guilty for not going outside and working on the garden, etc.
But enough about that. What I did get done were these beauties:

Hi Jenna! It’s not really surprising that you’d have some down-time after the incredible rush of getting everything ready for your art school submission, and then having to battle all manner of beasts to get your submission on the Net and up for voting. I hope the tears and the rest did their trick and that you are feeling much more like your self today. ((((hugs!))))
((((Jenna)))) I know about those uncontrollable bursts of tears. Barbara is right, you have had a lot of stress put on you. I hope you’re feeling better now. Your stitching is beautiful! 🙂
Great stitching progress … sorry to hear about the teary session, but sometimes we need to do it just to give our bodies some release from the stress etc (yes, experience definitely talking here). Hope you feel 100% again very very soon 🙂
…bonding time… Maybe I need my coffee. 😆
Peace on Earth looks great, and, I have to say that I like your version of Tribe #1 too! 😉 (I didn’t recognise it at first when I went to accept your uploads in the gallery in the morning…)
zen hugs.
I was right there with you with the feeling not yourself and tearful outbursts this weekend. I hope things start coming to an even keel for you soon.
I love how Peace on Earth turned out. It’s lovely. 🙂
Lovely stitching – both pieces are really pretty!
Both pieces are beautiful. Big hugs – we all have days like those.
Both look wonderful! Love the color in Tribe#1:) Hope you are feeling better now. ((hugs))
They look great.
I don’t know why, but the colors of the Tribe peace are just so alluring. Both peices are beautiful, so congrats on the finishes!!!
And just to get a good crying jag out, I sometimes pop in Last of the Mohicans. That movie makes me sob like a baby for at least 2 hours non stop (long after the movie), so I get the good cry out of my system 🙂
I hope things are better for you.
What pretty little projects, Jenna! Congrats on the finishes! 🙂
I hope you have a great week!
Sorry you had a bit of a difficult time this weekend, hope all is better now 🙂
Your two stitched pieces are LOVELY 🙂
Great job!
They’re both lovely Jenna, congratulations
I hope you’re feeling more yourself this week
Those are really beautiful finishes!! I can’t wait to see what you do on Michelle’s RR too!
