I love your projects =) And I am always a bit jealous because you stitch so fast ;-) I'll be happy to follow your new blog, just added it to my feed-reader =) I think it's a great idea to start a new blog for this. I already took a look - looks delicious =)
OOOH! Ewa! You are starting a cooking blog! Awesome! I love healthy cooking and have been cooking up a vegan storm here!! Anywho, onto stitching...love your progress on all your WIP's! Middle Earth is AMAZING! Super cool! I can see why your guy wanted you to make it!! Both your mandalas are so pretty too!!!

Great progress - especially on Middle Earth - congratulations!

WIPocalypse time again! I decided to remove Medieval Shelf from my WIPocalypse list, just because I have a feeling I'm not going to get to work on it this year. I want to finish College of Magical Knowledge first, so Medieval Shelf will have to wait.
Without further ado, my WIPocalypse update:

Greek Mandala by Chatelaine Designs
Stitching on 32-count antique white Belfast

I still have quite a ways to go with my rotation on Greek (and Tiny Rose Garden is next) so I hope to have one up by the end of the day tomorrow before I'm off to San Francisco again to stalk... err... keep Boyfriend company.
In other news, I wanted to tell you all the I've started another blog. It's a cooking blog! I thought about posting some photos and recipes here, but I didn't want to do that for anyone who is only interested in stitching, and nothing else. SOOOOO I started a whole new blog. Feel free to follow it - I don't mind one bit! It's just full of recipes, or my takes on recipes, and step by step instructions with pictures. I also try to include caloric values and serving sizes for those of us watching our waistlines (like me!). It's called Cooking by Candlelight and I hope to be adding to it a lot. Also, per Joyce's recommendation, I do a post per recipe (so sometimes multiple posts in a day) to make recipes more searchable. Hope you guys like it! My focus is healthy, but delicious, cooking. Who says healthy food has to taste like cardboard?
Happy stitching everyone - hope to be back tomorrow!
