I woke up this morning to just a fortnight’s worth of days to finish work on my 2013 North Carolina State Fair project.

Knowing that I have no time to waste, I got to work.

Yesterday, I had finished work on a strip of five new cookie motifs.

This morning, I joined that five motif strip as well as the one I had finished earlier in the week to the throw.

and then settled on the arrangement of the 40 small cookies that would be needed to finish the five new motifs:

By the time I had made notes and taken photographs, it was time to pick my youngest son up from school and buy some much needed groceries. I grabbed some of the small cookies still in need of having the ends woven in and did exactly that:

Tomorrow is a new, albeit shorter, day and with the deadline for the project drawing so near, I need to make the most of each stitch and every minute.
