Confession…
As I confessed on Christine’s blog recently… when I set goals for myself (particularly publicly), inevitably, I succumb to some kind of weird reverse-psychology thing. Suddenly, whatever it is I have decided I should do, is the last thing I actually feel like doing. And so it was with the TW October stitchalong. I managed to scrape in a mere 7 hours of stitching for the whole month of October. Thankfully, that 7 hours was all on Storyteller, so all was not completely lost. Here are the before’n'afters:

Aaaaand here:

So. Now you see Mssr. Cuthbert, my storyteller (the dragon is Claude. You know, like ‘Clawed’. I know. Sad.
).
And now ST is likely to return to the box from whence it came… hopefully not for all eternity!

I never do too well with goals. I’m always distracted by the thought of starting a new project :)
Your TW piece is looking awesome!

I’m the same with goals, which is why I don’t set any! haha
Storyteller looks great, and 7 hours is 7 hours - better than nothing! And if you think it’s sad calling your dragon Claude, what does that make me…I used to have a cat called Claude for the same reason! hahaha

Looking good, even with only seven hours. Now Claude has someone to keep him company in the WIP box. I adore the border on this one.

I think that we all do the same thing: set a goal & stitch everything else we own in preference.

Looks good to me for 7 hours worth of work! I’m the same way, I tell myself I’m not working on something until something else is done and I end up not working on either!

Gorgeous progress - can’t say that I’d get that much done in 7 hours on a TW!
