July Floral block - update #2

Here is what I stitched on today.  One butterfly down many more to go.

Pink Flower completed

I’m a little tired, but so happy I stayed up and finished the pink flower.  Not sure what I’ll stitch next, maybe some butterflies.

Pink Flower (June/July/October/November) miss counted

I spent all Sunday afternoon stitching on the pink flower.  It was slow going since I’m still sick with the flu.  I realized tonight that I missed counting, so I pulled out some stitches and will continue.

Floral 2019 SAL - July update #1

I tried to stitch yesterday, but I had the flu/head cold.  Ddin’t make as much progress as I had hoped.  I’m going to continue working on the pink flower in the middle (July, October & November) until it is completed.

Happy Dance - June Floral Block

I finally got around to finishing the June Floral Block.

I definitely won’t make my deadline of finishing this project by the end of the year.  This has not been a good year for cross stitching.  I retired this year in March and had such big plans for all of my hobbies, but I found that card making has taken more of my time because it is new to me.  In 2020, I need to learn to.balance all of my hobbies.  I realized when I was stitching today how much I miss it.  I just find it harder to see.  I need to use my magnifying glass/lamp all the time now, it doesn’t help that I prefer 28ct evenweave instead of 14ct aida. 

Floral 2019 SAL - June update #5

Here is my progress from yesterday.  I worked on the big pink flower.

Floral 2019 SAL - June update #4

I found time tonight to stitch, so I started the big pink flower on the June block.  I’m so far behind in this SAL, I need to catch up if I want to finish it by the end of the year.
