More than what 2 months away? I have been
stitching the Serenity Prayer, and I am now easily beyond the half-way mark.
There was a time I was finishing the text first and then doing the 'frame',
whichever column took my fancy.
Now I first
finish the left column, and then the text, and then the right column. I have
finished the back stitching too - the dowel frame was successful in enforcing
that discipline, lol. The only parts pending [in the stitched area] are the french
knots. Now this below pic was taken about a week back, I have finished one more flower and the white frame of the left column - not seen in the pic
I have taken
over a year to do this simple project. Ouch! The only consolation is that a
good part of last year I spent on my quilted pillow top. But even then, I
was hardly doing any stitching:( - The fact was that when I read out bedtime
stories to my son, I would also consider sleeping the best option. So that explains the no or bare minimum stitching! Just
yesterday my son decided he will read on his own, and then go to sleep. Just
wondering (and fingers crossed!) if that habit makes a good impression on him - my
time stitching those lovely charts and kits i purchased can revive!!
I have done some blog-reading (again better) these days, although not commenting. Whatever is holding me
back?
Book-wise, I began the
year with Bleak House by Dickens. I am loving the book, but still a long way to
go.
I have now
gotten a new mojo for gardening!! Hows that!! Will hopefully post about that too - in the weeks to come.
Here's wishing you all a great time stitching, and being with your loved ones.
