Official Progress Weekend (OPW)

Tonight is the start of our first "Official Progress Weekend" or OPW as I am going to call them. Tracy and I have decided to work on our Ink Circles and Just Nan SALs and see what progress we can make this weekend. Here is my before shots:

I will post again on Monday to show progress. I hope to have many more of these OPWs.

Hope everyone has a lovely Easter Weekend. I am spending mine with friends seeing as my dh is away.

Don't eat too much chocolate!

PS Thank you for all your encouraging comments regarding blog reading. I am so glad I am not alone.

  2. Good luck with your OPW! What a great way to spend a 3 day weekend. I love both of your stitchie pieces. Oh my! I would be afraid of the Ink Circles...somewhere I would miscalculate and there is no room for compensation stitches on that piece! Love the color combination.

  4. Hello Hazel - I think this is going to be my weekend for catching up too -- hopefully both stitching and blogging. I read through your last three posts - many lovely finishes and WIPs that you are working on! I too have had so much trouble finding time keeping up with all of the blogs, but when I do have time to visit - what a treat!

    Happy Easter!

  12. That's a really great idea. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on Monday.
    As for leaving comments - I do it the same way as you do. When I have a lot of time (very rare!) I leave comments wherever I go. When time is limited I just leave comments on blogs whose owners also comment on mine.
    Have a great Easter weekend!
