I started a new cross-stitching piece. It's called "Street Scene." It's going to take a very long time. There are a lot of shades, and it's hard to count. It's so hard to count that I started putting a grid of pins to mark off every ten stitches. That has really helped.

It really doesn't look like much yet, but my husband really liked the image of the finished picture.

“Street Scene” Progress - 2/13/23

I'll definitely be flipping back and forth between this and other projects.

The pins look pretty, like little beads. That's a smart idea.

I remember asking my cousin’s son what he was drawing as he was coloring an entire sheet of paper black. He looked at me as if I should already know and said it was a parking lot, of course.

Here’s hoping your street scene is more than just a large street.

Pins, very smart. I did wonder how you were able to keep such careful track o where each stitch goes.
