WIP-it Wednesday...

 ...doing a little of this and a little of that.

One of my WIPs is getting all of my medical and dental appointments made and organized. I've let a lot of things go since mom got sick and then dealing with her estate.

With the Olympics on TV, I'm getting some knitting done while I watch the Prime Time programming. I'm actually making progress on the socks!

I started a new cross stitch project, Witchy Dreams:

Witchy Dreams

While it's a little early to be thinking about Halloween, no other cross stitch project appealed to me.

I also started a needlepoint project and immediately stalled on it. It's called Chaca II, a Susan Portra design. I usually love to stitching her designs, but I'm finding these instructions difficult to follow. There are multiple pages of instructions and charts and you need to shuffle between the pages to follow each step. After thinking about it for a couple of days, I decided to stitch things in the order that made sense to me. We'll see if that's an improvement.

 ...at least I finished one thing for sure this month! I did a little spinning, not at my usual speed or with my usual attention, but ...
