Just finished putting the last 1/2 stitch into Row 2 of Page 1. A lot of it is a very lite blue so not sure how well it will show up in the pictures! I did lose my stitching bug for a few days but it's back now. Not as strongly as when I did the 1000 stitches in one day but progress is progress! I have been working on winding my thread onto the numbered bobbins too so I'm actually organizing my thread. I will work on that next. I try to do 10 bobbins at a time. Here's the pics!
Well, I have good news and I have bad news. I'll start with the bad news. I left this project in my car and had my sunroof open and the project got wet. It was okay but my needle rusted and left a big old rust spot on the 18 ct fabric. So I have scrapped that project. I was sooo upset because I was so far. However, as of yesterday I restarted the project and that's the good news. This time, however, I am doing it on 28 ct fabric. The great news is that I am doing it 2 over 2 (2x2 as i call it) and it is going soooo well. In addiction to a bunch of other things I managed to stitch 1000+ stitches today on 'Good Neighbors'. I now have row 1 on page 1 done and I just started it about 11 am. So I had to take pics and post them to show my progress. I am really liking the 2x2 stitching, it looks so neat! I didn't have internet for awhile at home so sorry for the lack of updates but I'm back and have been stitching like crazy! Here are the project pics for the 28 ct fabric. Hope you like!
Well, I've been stitching a little and thought I would show you. I got all of one back leg stitched and a portion of the other leg. I just have to finish up the other back leg and do the tail and all of the cross-stitching will be done. There is some back stitching to do but I feel I am on the home stretch! I hope to get all of the leg done and maybe some of the tail yet today. We are suppose to get some thunderstorms later today. You might not be seeing me as much as usual, my internet was shut off and I just don't have the funds to pay to get it turned back on, so I'm at the library using their WIFI. I will update you as much as I can! Anyway, here are the pictures!
Well it's been a few days since I've posted, so thought I'd catch you up on my progress. It's not too much but I can see the end in sight! I still haven't gotten my stitchy bug back all the way and I think my meds have something to do with that. Everything, including stitching just seems like a chore but I've been doing it anyway. I plan to pick up my needle and this project in a few minutes, after posting this so maybe it'll come back then. I do see my new med doc tomorrow and maybe she can suggest something for a med change. What I'm on right now just takes all my motivation and joy away. I will update you later on that! Anyway here are the update pics!
I haven't stitched much since my last post because I just didn't feel like it...my stitchy bug seemed to have vanished! I forced myself last nite to pick up my stitching for about 15 minutes to see if I could get into it. It sorta worked at first and now, today, I seem to be back into it. Not like obsessive like usual, where I don't want to put it down, but I did get some stitched. I just finished stitching the base of the rocking horse so thought it was a good time for an update...Here are the pics!
