February Update

Hello!

Time for an update, this time with photos as I feel like I'm actually making progress with things!

Last week I went to the first meeting of a new craft group in my local area... I took my 'out and about' stitching piece from the Star Trek Cross Stitch book... It's easy as they are blocks of colour.  Despite all the chatting, I managed to finish the wording at the top.  Hard to stitch on black but better because it was a daytime stitch group.  Nice that there were a variety of crafts to look at, with people bringing crochet, knitting, embroidery and card making pieces to admire.


I'm also making slow progress on the 'Seas the Day' Caterpillar cross stitch SAL... I know a bunch of the SAL group are already through month 1 stitching, but I'm dragging it out to make it last... and Endeavour starts again this weekend which I love to watch while I'm stitching in the winter! It means I get a good solid chunk of time and an interesting story to watch while I do it.


Finally an update on the Ugly Duckling... A little bit further!


Thanks for dropping by!

We had a cross stitch group at work for a while, but I was the only one stitching while everyone else chatted and it got on my nerves! I kept trying to get the others to do SOMETHING, but they wouldn't. I even tried bringing movies and then shows for them to watch to keep them occupied, but it never worked. I eventually gave up and closed the group so I could finish my piece! Hope you have much better luck than I did and if you figure out the secret, let me know!

Great idea to have a simple piece for the group! I always do a lot of chatting but seem to make a lot of progress too.
