WIPocalypse now - August blue moon update



Once in a blue moon seems to be my posting frequency of late, so a WIPocalypse update on a blue moon seems particularly apt.

As always, I haven't done as much stitching as I would like, although I am up to 106 consecutive treadmill days. School has also started back up for DD, so my schedule has less flexibility again.

I did do 7 hours on Chatelaine's Convent Herbal Garden, bringing the total to 49:

I expect that the corners will take me a while - I will be very surprised if they are done by next update.

I also completed Part 1 of Papillon Creations "Around the World in 80 Stitches":.

Football season has started up again, and since this is my non-timed piece, Part 2 might actually be complete by next update. We'll see, of course.


I'm still keeping up with my streak on the treadmill, and I've lost 3 pounds since last month. That's 13 pounds since Christmas. I'm aiming for 27 more between now and next June.
