Little by little, day by day

 I have made much less progress on Three Boats than I would like to, but life has definitely been getting in the way. Here is where I was three weeks ago. 

I have added some stitches to the sand and to the tree trunk. This is where I am currently.


I found time yesterday to get a bunch more done as Mom is back in the hospital and visitors are not allowed so I had a lot of free time. 

Thanks so much to Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea for hosting this Stitch Along each week.

Please take the time to visit the other talented bloggers below who are part of this stitch-along.


Thanks for stopping by!

    All the colours in your stitching add so much texture!

    I'm sorry your mom is back in the hospital, Cathie. We're having to make some tough decisions for my mom right now, too - such a hard time of life. Hope you enjoy some relaxing stitching time today!

      There are days when I can stand all the floss changes and there are others where I just don't want to deal with it.

      I think most of that stitching happened yesterday when I was able to spend an hour stitching.

    You've made some great progress on this. It's really taking shape :) It's so hard when our parents are ill and I was so sorry to read she was back in the hospital. I also took a look at your previous posting. This COVID has sure changed our lives. Positive thoughts for your son too and his upcoming surgery. Hang in there. Take care
