I had been hoping to have another page finish on this update, but life got in the way. This is where Three Boats was three weeks ago.
Since then my daughter and granddaughter came to visit for 4 days and Hubby and I traveled to California for 5 days. I would have finished the current page if I had stitched on those nine days. Family is much more fun though. I’m so close to finishing, though there is a lot of confetti stitching going on too. On top of that, I have been sick with a nasty scratchy throat and dry cough for a week that has now turned into a slight cold and thick cough. Ugh! I’m tired because I have not been sleeping well. But enough of that, here is how Three Boats looks now.
The bottom stitches are the end of the current page. So very close. I should be well into the next page for the next update. Much better than taking 6 months to finish one page.

ReplyDeletefamily is always more fun that crafting!! I am amazed that you could finish a page in a week if given the time.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't finish a whole page in a week, but if I had those 9 days back, I could have had a finish this time. More fun to be with family though.
