I have been spending a little time every day working on Baker Beach. I finished the second page last weekend.
I have almost finished working on the first color of the page. Thankfully, there are big swaths of single colors throughout most of this page. I hope that means it will work up quickly.
Here is where I am on page three.
Oh it feels so good to say that!
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching today. My goal will be to finish that blue I am working on and maybe start the next shade of blue. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are hand-stitching.
I have also taken out The Prairie Schooler 2008 Santa to work on. I bought the 18 count Putty Khaki Davos that is recommended a couple of weeks ago. I don't have all the prescribed colors, but I am thinking of making some substitutions as I really have a ton of different colored floss and don't want to buy any more. I just really started it last night so I haven't stitched much yet.
Since it is so small, I can work on it while watching TV.
Spring has finally truly sprung here. My daffodils are in full bloom.
That is my gazing ball stand, but I haven't put the ball out yet.
Thanks for stopping by!

When I commented a while ago I said it looked like you had nearly finished and your said then you were starting on the second page! I can see now there is still a way to go - lol! But it is looking great! I like Santa too - nothing like getting a head start on Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love how your counted cross stitchery is coming along. I cannot do that kind--my eyes are not good enough--so I do printed embroidery...but there are not half as many nice ones out there...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteLove the new project, the Santa. Such a great idea to get started on Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think that far ahead. It was just a small project that I had on hand.
DeleteHow big will the picture be when it is done? I have done some cross stitch pictures that have taken over a year to do. This is a wonderful scene you are doing.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching and those daffodils!! Mine are finished for the year, but they sure are pretty aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI think this is my favourite WIP on the Internet at the moment, I love seeing updates! Absolutely beautiful. Lovely garden too, but...what is a gazing ball?!
