Getting my stitching mojo back!

I haven't blogged much in the past couple of months mainly because I haven't felt like stitching much. But this weekend I got my mojo back. I attended a crafting camp with a group of friends this weekend and had great time. We are a mixed bunch of scrap bookers, quilters, sewers,knitters and cross stitchers who get together at least once a year at a residential camp doing something we love while someone else cooks the meals.

I brought three projects with me and made good progress on all.

1. L*K Holly & Hearts Mystery Sampler - I have Part one almost done.

Just before going to bed Saturday night I was really pleased with my progress when I realized that the stitching I done weeks before (the snowflakes in green at the bottom) was out by 1 stitch. I was ready to go bed and just leave it but decided to rip out the mistake first so I could start fresh in the morning. I am so glad I did. By Sunday evening I had the boo-boo re-stitched plus some.

2. LHN's Tree Farm

I am sooooo behind in my ornament stitching! I have to get at least 9 more done before Christmas.

3. L*K Scary (a bonus design from last year's Very Scary Mystery Sampler)

Below is a picture of the room 4 of us slept in. This room had new beds in it that I found rather puzzling for a camp that caters mostly to children. I am 5'9" and it has been a long time since my feet dangled when I sat on the edge of a bed. It was rather a strange experience having to jump out of bed.
