WIPapocalypse Feb. Update

This is my second post for this particular SAL. The topic for this month is How do you overcome that rut you are in with a particular project? My answer is that I just put it to one side, either to stitch on as soon as I get the urge or its transported to the "Sometime" box. January I had five projects for this SAL 1. A charity square of a kite - finished 2. Rockin around the Christmas tree - finished 3. Heide by Thea Govourneur - finished 4. TW English Sampler Garden. I didn't do as much as I would have liked with this one. I'm working on the stitches on the border and corners. The corner medallions were finished apart from bearing and I've got as far as the fans which take forever
5. Flower Power - this was a new start and I was pleased with the amount I managed to get done.
I also managed to finish a SAL piece left over from last year called Hertz. Pictures of the finished works are in a previous blog if you'd like to take a peek. This month my five pieces are 1. Flower Power - see how much more of the rudbeckias I can do. 2. TW The Castle
3. St Sylvestre by Long Dog. I started this one about a week into January and it's coming along nicely
4 is Spanish Rouge by Sampler Cove. I'm hoping to finish this one sometime this year
5 is Tulips by Kathy Bungard of Gracewood Stitches. This was an unfinished SAL from 2 years ago so well verdue for a finish.
Thank you to all those who commented on my list last month. It is much appreciated. Sorry for not contacting you to thank you. I Don't know yet how to do that. Perhaps someone can instruct me! Till next month. Happy stitching

    WOW, all of your pieces are lovely but Tulips is a truly spectacular piece, and all on black! My eyes cry for you. :) I feel like I have to go look up this designer now!

    As for the contacting, do you have your blogger set to email you comments? If not, this is under blogger settings --> Mobile and email --> "Comment Notification Email" A lot of people find it easiest to just reply to the email of the comment. You may run into a few people you can't reply back to because they're a "no reply commenter" but this is their setting, not yours. :)

    I love Tulips. The design is pretty and the colours show nicely against the black fabric

    Wow Kay!!! you have some pretty awesome projects you're working on and some finishes too! As a TW fan I'm looking forward to seeing progress on those and St Sylvestre & Spanish Rouge have me intrigued too.

    I'm glad you managed to find how to stick photos in where you want them. :) Lovely work on everything and Flower Power has really taken shape. Are you at the bottom with Spanish Rouge? Not too much to go if so. :) Will you get your finishes to double digits this year?

    These are some great projects for this month. All of them are certainly a lot of fun to stitch. I particularly love Flower Power, it's a wonderful design.

    I like the idea of the Sometime box, I have one of those!
    You gave got some lovely projects in your selection again this month.
    I agree with Rosey's fix, I comment on lots of blogs and rarely return to see if the blogger replied, I prefer to do this through emails.

      Thanks Jo. I think a sometime box sounds so much nicer than UFO box
