For four days in a row, I was up before the sun (and before the boys) and been stitching almost before I was awake enough for my eyes to be fully focused. I've added a chair, and a hat, and the top half of the second doll.
The more I work on this project, the harder it is to put it down each day. I've still got more than half of the stitching left to do, but I can actually see myself getting it done. That wasn't the case a couple of weeks ago.
See my new toy? I bought magnets to make a pretty needleminder, and while I get around to making the top portion I'm using the bare magnets. Now the trick is to keep reminding myself that the magnet is there and I don't have to put the needle through the fabric or in the arm of the couch.
Nice work. I like the idea of making your own needle nanny. I have bought several for gifts and myself, but still forget to use it too. It just takes a little practice I guess.
