For the past 10 days I have been stitching on Perpetual Calendar from Samsarah Designs. I decided that I would stitch on each project for 3 days before spinning the wheel. For this project the "Stick/Spin" wheel landed on stick twice so I continued to work on it for 9 days - I added the 10th day as it was more convenient to stitch on this project than switch today.
So I'm bringing in a new rule for my wheel spinning decisions. Once I have stitched on a project for 9 days then I will definitely switch to a different one.
I am not stitching these in the called for colours. I am substituting them with my own choices from stash. The threads used are mainly from Jodyri Designs but I have used some others as well.
The first picture was my starting point and then the following pictures were taken at 7pm each day.
Today I finished the number "4" so I count that as 3 mini finishes as the ones pictured below were all partially started when I picked this project up.
I have really enjoyed stitching on this project and intend to try and put at least one length of thread into it each day. Once I get to the filling in of the background it is very meditative and I don't need to look at the chart.
Tonight I spun the wheel to see what type of project I will work on next - the wheel spun "WIP".
I spun the WIP wheel and it spun "I Love You to the Moon and Back". This is something I charted myself and am stitching for my son. I last stitched on this on 30th October 2017.
Keep stitching and smiling

Congratulations on your three mini finishes and for sticking with your wheel again. These are all looking great and will make a lovely display when all finished (or an incomplete display whilst you stitch up the rest!) :)
I've been enjoying watching the progress of this one on Instagram. Looks great to see it here though. You definitely got a lot done. I don't blame you for switching. I get bored after a few days too. This one helps a bit since each section is a little different. Good luck with your new WIP you are pulling out. I look forward to seeing the progress you make.
So nice to follow the progression of this piece. Looking good.
Lovely to see you blogging again! Feel free to join with my Gifted Gorgeousness SAL any month you have a suitable project.
It's great to see this calendar out again, I was very tempted when it was released!
