Finished 7/31/07
A couple of days ago I assembled this necklace. It was a Project of the Week from Auntie’s Beads. It ties around your neck with a silk ribbon, and just sparkles! Another project finished!
I’ve also finished up the border for Liguria and have moved on to filling in the block. I’m well pleased that I was able to finish up the border in a week. That gives me hope for making quicker progress on this. I’ve had to go in early to work everyday this week, so I haven’t had my usual morning time to put in a few stitches, but I’ll get back to it soon.
And since we are now in August (my birthday month!!), I’d better recap my July goals and fess up to how I did…
- Knit on Homespun Wrap Yes
- Finish Their Song No, but I’m getting close
- Finish Row 1 of Tesori No, finished Veneto, finished border on Liguria
- Stitch one WhimZi Yes, Summer Spell
- Stitch one SB ornament Yes, In a Stable
- Stitch on Barnabee’s Quest Yes, didn’t finish one row, but did stitch on
Four out of six isn’t too bad!
So for August, here’s the plan…
- Knit on Homespun Wrap
- Finish Their Song
- Finish Liguria and Lazio
- Stitch one WhimZi
- Stitch one SB Ornament
- Stitch on Baby Garden
- Katrina’s RR Finished
- And for a bonus: Do some finishing for the August Finish-a-Long
Wish me luck!
Here’s a little more progress on Their Song. I’ve got two more words to finish up, and then the motifs at the top. I can feel a finish coming on. I’d really like to have it done before we leave for our trip next week.

I am grateful for knowing I am worth it!

Love the necklace-so pretty! Good luck with your goals-your wip’s look great.
Hi Michelle,
My, your necklace is lovely, and so unique. Can you tell us what size it is?
Your picture of Their Song is the clearest I’ve seen on any blog, and it really shows up the colour variations and details in the stitching. What a beautiful piece.
I’ve seen other bloggers who are working on the Italian regions piece as well and it’s quite big isn’t it? You’ve got your work cut out for you. But it is a pretty, and intriguing design. Is there some kind of literature which comes with it telling you what the symbols for each region represent?
Cheers. Judy
Your necklace is gorgeous!
WOW! I envy you almost being finished with Their Song! I hope to get mine finished up this month!
Michelle, I love everything but especially your progress on Tesori. You will be passing me very soon at this rate. I am so hoping to post a picture soon but it may not be til the mid of August because stuff is starting with DS and high school (read that band camp, practices, etc.)
Michelle,
You share a birthday with my sister! Mum – 13th, Sis – 22nd, and me 26th.
Their Song is so pretty! I’ve been looking at that, and I have a birday month discount at Needlecraft Corner, so I might have to *finally* add that to my stash!
