My goal for cross stitching this year is to get the “welcome” project done and get started on the farm scene.

Here’s what it looked like before I started working on it today:

…A close up of my work.  Sometimes I don’t feel like using a hoop but lately, especially with the blue plastic hoop I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve been using it more regularly.  I think it’s because it’s so easy to move the hoop when I need to.

Here’s what it looked like when I finished for the day… It doesn’t look like much but it’s a few more stitches to being finished. 🙂
