I am nearing the end of my neglected projects (one left) and it has been quite interesting.  Things I thought I would really enjoy I found that I didn't and things I thought I wouldn't I did. And there is one project that I love and hate at the same time and still don't know whether it should be delegated to UFO status.  I haven't gotten caught up with updating my web pages so I'm only listing the ones that I have updated.

First is Mouline Rouge.  This is one I thought I would enjoy and turns out I didn't.  I guess stitching all one color was not as relaxing as I thought it would be.  Or maybe I've just lost my taste for quakers.  This will probably end up on the UFO pile.


 Next was Noah's Sub.  It had been quite a while since I worked on this and the last time must not have been the most pleasant experience since I only did about 100 stitches or so before packing it in.  I approached this one with trepidation - I love the design but the actual stitching?  The love of the design won out and I worked on it for over two weeks.  I thought the animals would be tedious but it was so much fun seeing them emerge!  I can't wait to work on this one again now and will probably put it into a "favorite" position when I finally get back to a regular rotation.


Finally (as far as the updates go), is The Phoenix.  My feelings are mixed on this one.  I really love the design and it's not that big so I kept at it even though I wanted to just throw it across the room because the actual stitching is so awful!  Quarter stitches everywhere and a backstitch chart that is so hard to follow I was growling in frustration the whole time.  I also messed up the colors on the backstitching pretty badly and hated doing it so much that I left it. I will probably finish this one though... I know I'm going to hate every minute of it, but the finish product will be lovely (even with all the messed up backstitching)!
