Last time I posted a picture here, was when I listed my 2020 Cross Stitch Goals. Here is a picture from the beginning of the year.
This project is part of my rotation. I switch projects every Sunday in this order: Mama’s Bukid, Gamer, Mama’s Bukid, A Stitch in Time. Yes, I do Mama’s Bukid every other week because it’s my priority project and I want it done soon. It’s also my longest xstitch project and I’m really sick of it. So, the sooner I’m done with it, the sooner I can frame it and give it to my mother. Anyway, I stitch a little bit every week night. Lately, my week nights have been full of things that take up my time and I haven’t been able to spend as much time as I want so I do an hour or so here and there over the weekend. Here’s where I finished at yesterday:
Because there is so much confetti, I’m only able to do about 55 stitches an hour. It sounds like I’m a really slow stitcher but with color changes for every single box, there’s no way to do it but slow and steady. It was difficult to do anything on this this week as I was overwhelmed with the complexity and how slow I am at it. But I persevered and was able to get 400 stitches done this week. My goal was to do 1200 but it’s just not possible given the amount of time I’m able to devote to this project. Some may say I have too many projects and that I should probably work on one project at a time but that’s just ridiculous!
Happy Stitching!

I think we all have a project like that
