A little stitching

I am so deep into planning and teaching for Finite Mathematics right now that I just have had hardly any time to stitch. Sigh....
I managed to find an hour on Saturday before we traveled into NYC to sit with Baker Beach. The last time I posted on it, two weeks ago, this is where I was. 
This is where I am now.

You can see some more of the beach and water and, if you look real hard at the upper right corner, you will see that I just had to start on the next page. There is a little more blue sky up there. I got tired of all the little fiddly stitching bits and just needed to have a go at a swath of a single color.
I hope I will have more crafting time this week. It seems I say that every week. 

 I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching today. I think I will work on my Prairie Schooler Santa while watching the Mets tonight. On Monday, I will join the Stitchery Link Party at Super Mom - No Cape. Pop on over to these sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Finding stitching time has been tricky here, too. I get grumpy without a little bit of "me" time. It sounds like we will both enjoy some stitching time tonight. :) Happy stitching! Baker's Beach is looking great. The progress on both pages is easy to see! I love the detail "confetti" sections add, but it is nice to have some blocks of color to speed things up a bit. It looks fantastic!

    Those colour changes and all the counting take a long time in the detailed sections. Just 2 more pages to go???

    It certainly is growing despite the lack of stitching time, you really are doing so well. Take care.

      Thank you. I'm glad I am taking pictures or else I don't think I would see the progress.

    Keep at it Cathie, every little stitch is a stitch in the right direction! It's looking really lovely and will be stunning when you reach the finish line. Love your October header image too - really made me smile!

    A little stitching is better then no stitching.

    Stick with it Cathie, it looks great, I've just googled the pattern and I am in awe of you stitching this! It's stunning, but 63 floss colours!!!That takes a lot of patience, my sampler is zipping along because I've only got 7 colours :-)

    Lovely stitching, Cathie, such patience.... so many colours! My cross stitch has stopped altogether at the moment, crewel work has taken over, but I hope to get back to my "Cocoa" sampler soon. I hope you manage to find some stitching time this week.
