This is where I will talk about & show pictures of my obsession with cross stitching,crochet,knitting and diamond painting.
Good morning/afternoon/evening to all. I am happy to say I have made good progress on The Astronomer. There is hope that I will make more progress in the next 3 weeks.
This is what it looked like last time you saw it.
This is what it looks like now.
This is a hint as to why it moves so slow.
I am doing this SAL with a very talented group of ladies. Please go to their blogs to see the wonderful projects they are working on.

It's time for another update. I moved the q snap because the confetti was slowing me down. I really didn't work on it much till yesterday. (squirrels you know). Anyway I won't ramble here is what it looked like when I started yesterday and what it looks like when I'll be starting today.
Not as much as I would have liked but all stitches count.

Till next time Happy Stitching.
As I mentioned previously I have an issue with the fabric on Chocolate Chocolate and More Chocolate. My friend who does beautiful hardanger says it can be fixed but I need to stitch closer to stabalize the fabric. Right now I am not able to do that. I sit and look at it and then put it away. Hopefully soon. Until then I am changing projects for the SAL.
The new project is one that really deserves some dedicated time. This was the first HAED I every purchased and I still love it. I started it in 2/2010. Then I started discovering other artists and the rest is history. You all know how many I am stitching. LOL.
This is where the suck it up comes in. The part I'm working on is very confetti heavy and I get bored easily. The other day he called to me and I said: "Self it is time to put on your big girl panties and get on with it" so I did. This is my progress since Friday. Please say hello to:
It is time for the 3 week check in but I have no progress to show. There is an issue with my fabric and until I am comfortable with the repair I will be putting it away. I will hopefully be back in 3 weeks with progress or a new focus project.
Please say a prayer for Carmela's family in their time of loss. She will be missed here.

Wow. Where did 2021 go? Not that I'm sorry to see it go. LOL.
I have put some stitching in on the wedding sampler I showed last time. It has become my focus piece for this year at least.
Last time you saw it it looked like this.
I have made progress. I decided to stitch the border all the way to the top. The fabric is so large I want to see if I can safely cut off some of the excess. The only downside is that I am rapidly becoming tired of DMC 402 but at least it isn't black LOL.
Here is where it is now.
I haven't touched it in a couple of weeks. Taking a break from the aforementioned 402. I hopefully will make some more progress before the next update.

Till next time Happy New Year and Happy Stitching
Unfortunately it is retiring for now. I have a wedding sampler that I really need to focus on for my son Matt and his new bride Stephanie. They got married in Sept 2020 and I started it then but I really want to finish it before they have been married 20 years so time to make it my focus.
