A little more progress

On Goblin Tree. You can see the start of her left hand now. I love stitching her! This weekend is the HAED SAL Challenge, and she's my focus piece for this year long Challenge SAL. I'll be spending more time with her this Friday through Monday. Maybe I'll manage to get the page finished! That would fullfill one of my yearly goals! I have been itching to work on Rosey or Lil Blue, I haven't touched either of them in ages! This vixen has captivated me for a looong time.

The following was posted by Nance on the HAED BB and I liked it so much I wanted to share it with you.

STITCHER'S VERSE
Cross-stitchers are a different breed
The things we hope for, the things we need.
We wish for floss to finish that row.
We sometimes wish our guests would go.

We wait all day for that time to be
That special time- that time for ME
Each needle is threaded, the colors arrayed,
Scissors and chart have been carefully laid.

Now we relax, this is our pleasure
Stitching this piece of soon to be treasure.
We always ignore that mental warning
Stitching all night makes it rough in the morning.

But time's unimportant, we don't heed clocks
We just need floss and a sewing box.
