stitching update...

...i'm continuing to work on my spring cross-stitch, and though it's slow going, i'm seeing signs of progress. i thought i'd take a photo each week, but it's turned out that i take a photo every time i complete a specific section.

big pink flower & bee (finished at 2 1/2 weeks)







right side yellow flowers and stems (finished at 4 weeks)






bird, stems & start of right side pink flowers (finished at 5 weeks)








i think i'm just about half way through the project now - i'm usually stitching under a deadline in an effort to finish up a gift. my self-imposed deadline is the first day of spring... just about a month away!

i have to admit i haven't gotten much other crafting done while i've been working on this. i have plenty of craft projects piling up, and i've finally purchased shelving to organize all my fabric, stamps, thread, art supplies, paper, etc... on. the dilemma - to continue on, full-steam ahead, or take a break for some other crafting? not a bad dilemma to have!
