Slow and Steady

I’ve been quiet because I started another cross-stitching project. I’m not a daily poster by any means, but I do like to post weekly. Unfortunately, cross-stitching updates are about like beading updates or knitting updates – “Hey, I did some more but it doesn’t look much different.” Maybe a week is long enough to make it seem like more is happening.

Here’s the state of the picture after the first weekend:


And here it is after the second weekend and intervening week:


I’m planning to spend the next week or so putting together an 18th century cap that I cut out in June of last year, and then I’ll be back to cross-stitching until it’s time to make the children’s Hallowe’en costumes. Unfortunately, I don’t expect to be able to do much costuming until November at best, and it may be after New Year’s.
