This was another time that I had to organise myself to have something to be going on with. I do have a small piece on the go - the very slow go. The last time I touched it was last year (which isn't all that long ago, I realise), just before Christmas.

| It isn't going to be very big and I had a small piece already on the loom, so I am doing it on top of that. |
Out came the loom, then I had to find the wools. I couldn't find my design images anywhere. Still haven't found them.
Fortunately, I had decided that I was getting confused using both my original image and the collage I developed from it, so I had traced another image and roughly coloured it to use as the cartoon that was attached to the loom.
Once at the guild rooms, I had to use this only. I hadn't intended to use it in isolation, so the cartoon isn't particularly detailed. But we were meeting and everyone was working, so I just had to go with the flow.
I have even done a little bit more at home. Just a couple of hours. But now I am hopeful that I might get it done by the end of February, in time for the online group's challenge. I have gone in it for the last few years and will be disappointed if I don't get it done this year. It is good to have these deadlines that can seem stressful but are actually inspiring. And only I will be disappointed if I don't do it, there are no sheep stations hanging on getting it done.

Your tapestry looks good Mary! Keep at it, a few passes every day .... And hey presto it will be done. Pat
Thanks Pat, I had this idea that I would do at least an hour a day - didn't happen last week, I thought I had better do my homework for my embroidery design course instead. But that is done and I need to focus on the tapestry, I'll try to be less demanding and only aim to do a few hours in the coming week. It is not a very big tapestry, so should be doable. In fact, I should get off the computer and do a bit now!
