{TH}read and TUSAL

First of all, my TUSAL (Totally Useless Stitch-a-Long) photo.

This is my first time participating, so 

this is only a month's worth of orts.

I had just emptied my jar  last month when I found the SAL.

Now for my {TH}read post:

Reading update:
I am currently reading  Embroidered Truths by Monica Ferris
and Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

I love the Crewel World series by Monica Ferris.
It's a mystery series that centers around a needlework shop.
I like reading about the stitching more than the mysteries. :)

Angels and Demons is my "bathtub book" for now.
I'm reading it slowly, only a chapter or two a night.
At this rate it will take a long time to fnish- it's a long book.

Stitching update:

I've given up on the MST3K design.  

It's too much black.

I have a hard time seeing the pattern and stitches.

I wasn't planning on starting a new project, but when I saw this design, I had to have it.

I plan on working on it exclusively until it's finished.

Started 8/31/13

Here is the progress I've made on the Monarch kit since the last time.

I haven't touched it since starting on the fleur de lis.

I added my two newest finished ones to the wall.

My mom and daughter made another armchair organizer for me.

This one suits my needs better than the first one.

I love it.

Thanks y'all!  :)

Until Next Time...
