This month's topic: Do you find yourself more productive with stitching in summer or winter? I try to stitch a few hours each day, but I will admit I get more done in the winter than I do summer. Living in Canada, we get a lot of snow in winter and more often you'll find me at home staying out of the cold. I really dislike snow, so no winter sports for me. In the summer, I try to go out when it's nice outside even if all I feel like doing is staying at home and stitching.
Still nothing on Bramble and the Rose.

Very small update on Tree of Hope again. I've tried to stitch on in a bit each week without success. For now I'd rather stitch on other things.

This is what I've been preferring to stitch. Fantasy Lace got a lot of attention this month. The cable stitching and satin stitched lines are all done. I'm now stitching the flowers that go under the cable stitches. I have half of them left to do and then I can move onto the button hole border.

A bit more stitching on Pretty Little San Francisco. This is my go to piece when I feel like cross stitching something simple. But again, I didn't spend that much time on it.

In my defense, I was pretty busy this month. I worked on a small "crewel" practice piece for myself.
And I had a two day class with Hazel Blomkamp and went stash crazy.
I went stash crazy again that same week and decided to learn knitting again. I started and finished a cowl in two days.
Great progress. I'm like you - sometimes I feel like working on something, sometimes I don't. Go with what you want to work on!
ReplyDeleteLovely update. Congrats on the finishes and nice progress.
