Maggy, spot the progress

Over Christmas I stitched a lot on my HAED Maggy and I'm really pleased with my progress, although it's still impossible to really make anything out of the picture so far.  I'm enjoying stitching this a lot.  I'm trying to get it started all the way across the top section so I can start rolling it up over the scroll frames.  I've made it a comfort blanket out of some batting to roll up with her with but I need some progress to roll!

There is a huge amount of confetti in virtually the whole design, and I still have it at the back of my mind that I may have over stretched myself with this but I try to keep reminding myself that its only just one stitch at a time;  slowly slowly catchy monkey.

I've experimented a bit with carrying my threads and I'm coming along with this concept.  I just have to stop myself getting worked up over the mess on the back!  It doesn't matter if the back is messy as she will come stright off the scrolls into a frame when she is done.

I'm going to try to get my stitching organised this weekend and come up with a plan.  I've been struggling to plan stuff lately and I've allowed myself to stitch in chaos!  Must get this sorted before it affect my mojo.  Despite a small personal crisis my stictching mojo has miraculously survived and I'm guarding it jelously!!

Oh and did I tell you about my Christmas present???  Nothing stitchy for me this year, but the most special gift from my DH.  This is Hallmarked Mi Kings Ransom who I have been showing and training for the last year for a friend who has a miniature horse stud, who is now my very own and will likely be a very spoilt pony for the rest of his life.  Sorry that its a poor photo, but it does show his lovely fluffy legs!!  I've 'had' him since he was just a few months old and he will never ever be for sale.  This little chap is a keeper, (and the hubby!)
