I spent all day cross stitching and I have very little to show for it. There were four projects and I did a little bit on each one.

This is the result of my first month in a stitch-along. I’m pleased that I have been able to keep up, but there are really not a lot of stitches required each week. Most of them I have found easy to stitch but occasionally I get off on the wrong foot and it is more challenging to find and correct the error.

This is my first ornament of the month; I’ll use it as a card and that part of it still needs to be done. I thought it looked a bit cluttered so I’m starting another one and leaving out a few of the stitches. The second one is on green fabric and I only have a bit done – not really enough yet to see if the change I made has made any difference. At one a month I could likely keep up but now that I’m planning two a month I’m not so sure.

But that didn’t stop me from signing up for another stitch-along. It is called a Neglected Floss project. I have a drawer full of floss that has been left over from various kits; there are also some brands of floss that I don’t normally use. The instructions are coming out once and sometimes twice a month and I’ll try to keep up. It will be scrappy but the border around it will be the same throughout.

While my bread baked I did a few stitches on my cross stitched quilt block. It’s been awhile since I picked it up because I’ve been working in my puzzle book and/or reviewing Pat’s latest manuscript.

We have another online concert tonight.
