Page 1 Row 8 of Sapphire is DONE!!

I just finished stitching the next Row on Page 1 of Sapphire!  I actually got to use some bright colors in the last two squares!  I think I see the gem in the upper left corner appearing!  Here are the update pics I just took...

Pleased to announce!...

that Stacked Cups is DONE!  I just finished cup the last backstitch a few mins ago and took pics.  I'm so excited to have finished this project!  I want to thank Sherry for pushing me to get it done!  I'm glad it is tho and this will give me more time to focus on Sapphire.  I do plan on working on Sapphire yet today just have to do a few things around the house first, like wrap Christmas presents for the boys.  I appreciate all of the support and/or comments I've gotten to get this far on BOTH of my projects and for you guys to see the completed project pictures!  Here they are...

Page 1, Row 7 DONE!

I've been a busy lil stitching bee again.  I just finished the next row, Row 7 on Page 1 of Sapphire.  The last 7 stitches all being one-stitch wonders (as I call them) but I got em done.  Here are the pictures.  I have been rotating Sapphire with Stacked Cups so they get equal attention.  Plan on some pictures soon of Stacked Cups!

Stacked Cups DONE minus Backstitching!!

Well after I took the most recent pics of the Stacked Cups project, I have continued stitching on it.  I was almost done when my thread frayed and split so I had to unstitch a bit to make it right but got it all done.  The bottom cup now has a handle and saucer and the left side and bottom borders are done!  I just have the backstitching left to do!!  Here are the pics!!

I also have only 300 stitches left in the next row of Sapphire.  Now I'm not sure if I should go back to Sapphire or work on the backstitching of Stacked Cups.  Such decisions!

Stacked Cups Update

Well I've been a busy little stitching bee the last 12 hours.  Not only did I do 200 stitches on Sapphire, but I found my mistake in Stacked Cups way back there in the pattern so I unstitched AGAIN since my last update on this project.  But I persevered and got the 3rd cup (not the saucer or handle) DONE!!  I'm so proud of myself.  I'm so close to being done with the x's on this project.  I just have the handle and saucer on the 3rd and final cup, and 1/2 of the border and the x's are done!  Then there's just backstitching.  I'm so happy Sherry has put me up to this as I will finally finish a project (only my 2nd this YEAR and #8 in my LIFE TIME!  I had to take pics to show you my 3rd cup after so much unstitching!  Here are the pics of Stacked Cups.

So I think I'm going to take a break and return to Sapphire for a 100 stitches or so and come back to Stacked Cups!  Stay tuned for a FINISH!!

Page 1, Row 6 Done!!

Finally finished up the next row!  Got Page 1, Row 6 completed just now.  Here are the pics for that!

I also unstitched the mistake area on 'Stacked Cups'.  I plan to pick that up next and get a lil done on it!

Finally Page 1, Row 5 is DONE!

Except for 1 stitch that I can't seem to find the color for, Page 1, Row 5 is done.  Took me awhile to get this row done as I wasn't feeling good there for awhile and just plain didn't feel like stitching.  A few days ago I forced myself to just pick it up and do 15 mins and finally just now got my row finished.  I seem to be missing the color 939 in my project bag so will be going to the store hopefully sometime this week to grab that color.  I must have skipped it on the color number page when purchasing the threads to begin with.  I'm sure my Ben Franklins will have it.  Anyway here are the update pictures!

Oh I almost forgot.  I was searching around for the color 939 and FOUND stacked cups project.  I can now work on that in my spare time.  Right SPARE time.  But I have located it and cannot wait to finish it.  I will try to figure out where I missed up on that one and I'm sure I'll have some frogging (unstitching) to do!  Here are the pics of Sapphire!
