I've never really regarded myself as ambitious; until now. Back at the beginning of the year I volunteered to make a Christmas stocking for my little niece; having made one several years ago for my nephew this would make a set.
'Just a simple one' my sister said. Well, I looked at simple patterns and there were some lovely ones and I would have been happy to make one of them. Then I found this pattern. Sigh.
Honestly, I started with good intentions, and I stitched away quite happily for a while. Then, I 'took a break'. Actually I got distracted for a couple of months. You know how it is - so many things to make, so little time. Sigh. Suffice to say, I am way behind schedule. This is where I was up to as of 17 August:
(sorry, this pic doesn't want to pop up)
I am now putting in some stitching EVERY day, and I'm actually surprised at the progress I've made since taking this picture! I still don't know whether I'll have it finished in time for this Christmas but I'm doing my darndest.
Not ambitious. HUMPHHHH!!!
(I will keep you apprised of my progress )
