Slow progress – 5/14/2023

I’ve had some progress on this project. I’ve attended several cross stitch retreats since my last post and I try to do at least one block when I go. It doesn’t always happen and sometimes I do 2 blocks. But here is my current status.

I enjoy doing needlepoint and I do not have a place set up for me to do this. I notice that if I have a place, then I actively work on a project. When I don’t have a place then it hardly happens. So I bought myself a new stand and have set myself up. It’s actually the same place I do my cross stich which makes it easy since I use a lot of the same tools for both crafts. I just move the cross stitch stand to the side while I’m playing with my needlepoint.

Status – 11/19/2022

I’ve been making slow progress on this project and I love it. For needlepoint I only have 2 projects going and both were started at the PSR Seminar in 10/2021 in Las Vegas, NV. It’s my newest craft and I’m really making an effort to not start anything new until these are finished. I also inherited quite a few WIPs but I’m not counting those. Someone said if I do a block a day I’ll be finished in however many blocks there are. Unfortunately, one block on average takes me several hours to finish so while it sounds nice it’s not doable given all the things I try to do in a day.
