Working on my PhD (s)

To be clear, I am not working on my Doctor of Philosophy, I am working on my Projects Half Done.  Some people call unfinished projects UFO's, PhD's has such a nice sound.  With all the quilting and fabric pulling my sewing room looks like a hurricane touched down.  While doing some damage control aka house cleaning, I kept coming across PhD's.  In no particular order, here are the PhD candidates:



Christmas at Hollyberry Farm (The Christmas sampler gets a few stitches added each day)


Hannah Hope aka Hannah P Sharp
R & R 
(Poor Hannah, she has been a candidate for years.  I stopped working on Hannah when I reached the over one stitching and recharting from Hannah Hope to Hannah Sharp)


Ewe Alone
114th exemplary by Sheepish Designs
(I decided to stitch the sampler in silks instead of DMC's and changed all the colors, back to the coloring box for more colors.)


In The Garden
La D Da
(Poor Adam, he looks like he is suffering from a Vitamin D deficiency)



Adam and Eve
by the Marking Sampler
Remember the Ladies
(The tree reminds me of a telescope)


Bargello Sewing Case
Barbara Jackson
Cross Stitch Sampler Magazine
(On those queen stitches)


Two Red Houses
Little House Needleworks
(There is a reason it is called counted cross stitch)

My plan for completing my PhD's:  stitch every day, work on the most completed project first, and fight the urge to start a new project.
