Not quite so impressive this time, but still respectable…
Here’s how it looked last time:
And here’s now:
Hmmm… really not that much done. But it’s a shocking month for deadlines, so I’m not being too hard on myself!
I’m one of the first to post my progress, usually, so why don’t you give it a couple of hours and then head over to see what lovely stuff everyone else is working on. This month, we are joined by two new members – welcome to the group, Carmela and Jocelyn 🙂
Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, LucyAnn, Jess, Sue, Constanze,
Debbierose, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Helen, Steph,
Linda, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Hayley, Megan, Catherine,
Deborah, Connie, Clare, Mary Margaret, Renee, Jenny,
Carmela and Jocelyn
The next SAL is due on 22nd February, but I’m not sure I’ll make it, bearing in mind we take possession of our new home three days before that. You never know, though. Watch this space!

That looks pretty amazing considering what’s on your plate right now!
Packing activities are strictly limited at the moment, so I thought I’d seize the chance to stitch!
Every stitch counts, looks fab
It all adds up, doesn’t it?
SOOOO glad you’re “not being too hard on yourself”….. 🙂
Weellll, I can be my own worst enemy where pressure’s concerned.
Yes, that is the impression I have picked up loud and strong!!! 😉
No, really? And here I was thinking I had everyone fooled…. How mortifying to be so transparent 😉
I think you have done well to add some stitches, given everything else you have going on.
I think I may have to sit the next session out, but we’ll see…
I just love the colours of this project so much, and any progress is good, heading in the right direction. Hope the packing is going well 🤗
Not so much the packing as the chucking! Luckily we don’t have to rush to exit this house before we move into the next, we have time to do a little renovating first. So I allowed myself a couple of hours with this piece – and the colour scheme got me in the mood for some block piecing in the same colours 🙂
That’s great to be able to do some work before you move everything in, a help to ease the stresses of a house move!
I think it is such a big flower that quite a lot can be stitched but it doesn’t always make a big impression. Once it is finished it is going to look stunning Kate, so don’t worry. Enjoying the journey is what counts.
It is pretty huge, and the design has so many petals that sometimes when I’m counting I lose track of which one I’m on!
I’m amazed you had time to add anything at all.
It’s been a bit of a screamer of a weekend, but things are calming down. I’d really like to finish this, or at least put it aside for a while, but somehow I just can’t. Maybe because the colours are so right with my F2F plans!
Looks fab! Good luck with the house move. You do like to keep busy don’t you?
I’m not sure I’d have planned things this way, but it’s what I’ve got, and I just have to get on with it. The stitching is a light relief, to be honest!
considering everything else you’re up to at the moment, I’m surprised you managed to find time to xstitch! Looking great!
I stole a bit of time from the hexies I’m stitching together for Days for Girls, but don’t tell them!
Delicious ! Who knows how many hours of works and how much patience! I really like it ! Happy stitching !
I don’t have much time to work on it, so it will take a long time to finish, but that’s OK. I’m glad you like it 🙂
Your progress is quite visible! It looks lovely.
It’s coming along, even if progress is a bit, well, sluggish!
I can totally see where you have worked! This piece is soo lovely and every stitch counts. Even when super busy, I like to sit for a bit to stitch. It seems to help calm my spirit and my mind.
I find this project needs a bit of concentration because of the counting, but that’s OK. If I’m totally manic I’ll stitch a few hexies, which requires no brainpower at all 🙂
There’s still some good progress being made ! Life can get in the way sometimes, and I think it’s always a good sign to want to sneak away 1-2hours to cross stitch , it’s a good way to relax 😀
I’m my own worst enemy, really; too many interesting projects on the go!
Never mind, your still moving forward.
Slowly but surely… 🙂
Even a little stitching adds up. You are making great progress.
I’d like to make it across to the left hand margin, but there’s a way to go still…
You’ll get there 😄
One day….
😀
Very nice! I love how it’s taking shape
Piece by tiny piece! But it all adds up.
It does…a tiny step at a time.
You have a lot going in in your world right now. I think you made great progress considering! Good luck with your new home:)
Thank you – and thank you!
Wow, lots of progress.
Well, some! There’s a lot of filling in of small holes there, too.
Definitely respectable! Well done getting some stitches in 🙂
Thanks! I told myself I had to use at least 3 colours…
I think that’s great progress considering everything else you’re doing 🙂
Just at present, it gives me something to do while I fret about the impending deluge…
Good for you for getting any stitching done at all! And your hat box is another lovely one of course. 🙂
You’ve done a lot — despite all the rest going on! Good luck with the house move (exciting!) and remember to be kind to yourself.
Hopefully the flooding and torrential rain will be over by then
I must admit, I’m excited by my new sewing space, which is heeeuuuge!
You have stitch and how you managed to find time for that, I don´t know. Good work!!
I just sat down, picked it up and started. And then didn’t stop till I had something respectable to show!
🙂
That’s good progress considering everything else you have on your plate at the moment 🙂
I suspect it’s all the progress this piece will see for a while; settlement is nearly upon us, with all the accompanying renovations
Great progress! Good luck with the new house. It can be an incredibly stressful time. I hope settlement and the impending move go as smoothly as possible!
Hopefully settlement will be trouble free, but moving in is going to be patchy; we have renovations to get done first! It’s quite a relief to retreat to the sewing room for something mindful and creative!
