Wildflower Rhapsody - 70 hours

Before - 65 hours

It has been ages since I've worked on this piece and updated. I spent a relaxing weekend at home from Friday night until late Sunday night. This quiet time allowed for me to log some stitching hours. 5 to be exact.

I'm stitching this piece as a retirement gift for a woman at work. She isn't due to retire for many years yet, but I figured I'd best get to focusing on this piece and get it finished. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

This is the progress as of 70 hours. It boggles my brain that I've accomplished that much stitching in what seems like a short period of time. It seems every time I touch the needle I'm changing floss colours. The insanity of it all!

As with every other post, the feeling stay the same. Thanks for always being here!

It doesn't look like much when I'm actually putting in the 5 hours of time. When I see the before and after shots the work is obvious. I'm really on the fence with this one right now. It is a lot of work and I'm not 100% it's the kind of work I want to be committed to to get it completed.

I will be working on another piece when I next pick up my stitching, although right now, I'm not sure what that piece will be. As much as I'm questioning this piece, it was comforting to hold a piece of fabric in my hands again. It's a big change from the weights I've been busy with as of late.

Happy stitching days to you!

172,387 Bubbles

That would be the number of stitches remaining on Bubbles. There are a total of 174,300 stitches and I've completed just under 2000.

Why do I have to be such a lover of stats and numbers? It's fun and something I do without even thinking about, but why now? Why this piece? I can't even contemplate the length of time it is going to take to finish this piece. I know, being the number cruncher that I am, I could easily figure it out, but right now, I'm too tired to bother.

This piece is being worked 1 strand over 1 on 28 count. It is super tiny. I'm on the fence about whether I like the small size. I do know I don't want to start over and doing so would mean a larger design and I don't want that either.

Not much else going on right now, I'll keep this short and not take up too much of your time.

As always, thanks for looking. Hope not to be too long before I'm back with another update of one piece or another.

Happy stitching days to you!

Enchanted Fairy - 50 hours

Here is my headless beauty as of this morning. I'm famous for creating headless pieces. I much prefer to work down rather than up hence the headless habit.

I can imagine this will be my last stitching pic for a while since I'm working days for the next 2 weeks and that severely limits my stitching time.

Thanks for looking. As always, your kind and encouraging comments do a girl's heart good!

Wildflower Rhapsody - 65 hours

Still plugging away. Not sure how much, if any stitching time I'm going to get this month, so this is my mini effort of keeping this stitch-y blog stitch-y filled! LOL

Lots of blank spaces that I will have to concentrate on. I will eventually. This is one piece I would like to see finished this year. I think that may be all I will get finished too. It's something though, right!

Thanks for looking and commenting.
