A Small Update - Yvonne Le Clerq 1905

Time has passed quickly and several months have come and gone. 

I wanted to visit several times and share photo updates of some of my WIPs, but I think my blogging goals are too lofty. 

With that being said,  I will share just a small update on Yvonne Le Clerq 1905. I sure love this piece! It is so colorful and full of happiness to me.

I stitch slowly and I realize I won't be done for a long while, but that is okay. I currently have just a few other WIPs, but more on my other WIPs another time. 

Do you like to have lots of WIPs or just a few? Perhaps you prefer having only one WIP? It is interesting how we are all different, but that is just fine. 

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Progress, Stitch by Stitch

I have been busy working on Fruit Bellpull and more recently Sarah Braizear 1829.

So much is going on in the world, and my heart is sad from so many things.  Stitching is a wonderfully creative solace in times of strife and discord. 

We continue our sheltering at home, and being safe as possible in light of this pandemic.

A Wonderful DMC Resource

I did stitch a bit a week ago, but this week hasn't brought any more time spent with needle in hand. I think about my current stitching project off and on during the work day, and the anticipation of working on it gets me through the work day faster. I do love my job, but even with that being said I do need a mental 'push' to get me through the long hours from time to time.  Do you ever do this 'mental anticipation thing' to get through work or tasks at home? And like me do you find once you get the free time you are too exhausted to even work on anything?

To add to the tired factor, it's the end of the year for us where I work, so that means more piles of paperwork in the evening, and that too cuts into any hobby time.

Speaking of our hobby, I am excited that this morning I stumbled upon this resource for the DMC colors. I do have an actual color chart with the threads, but this digital version will come in handy too.

Happy Stitching to all of you!
