Last Up in the August Rotation, Tis the Season

Ah, September. I look forward to your cooler temperatures. You have cooler temperatures for us, right? RIGHT?

The last project up in my rotation was Tis the Season by Blackbird Designs. You may remember that I am stitching this for my aunt (she of the "In the Pink" project) because she asked for a Christmas stitch. I am stitching this on the called-for fabric with the Belle Soie silks. I am enjoying it very much.

The last time I worked on it, it looked like this:

Once the cardinal is done, most of what's left are smaller motifs which should give the feeling that I am zipping along toward a finish! LOL We'll see about that at the end of September.

There is a needle stuck in it now, so we shouldn't have any future mishaps!

My goal last month was to stick to my "Molly Rotation."

1. Waldorff, Homespun Sampler -- yes
2. Mary's Stocking, SB --switched Mary with Wisteria, but did stitch on her
3. Wisteria Snowman, SB - yes
4. Our Souls, Midsummer Night Designs - no
5. Greenland Santa, Mill Hill - finished!
6. Cinnamon Stars, Plum Street - yes
7. Small #8 - finished!
8. Lovebird, JABC - yes
9. Ladybug, Ladybug, Rabbit Workes - I couldn't find it! Nominally, I switched it out with Deruta biscornu, but I didn't actually stitch on that either.

During September, I plan to stick with the rotation. After all, things are getting done!
