This Ultimate Crazy January Challenge has completely ruined my ability to focus on a single piece for an extended period of time. 3 to 4 days seems to be the absolute maximum before I just
have to switch out my projects.
So I end up with a little bit of progress on a bunch of pieces. This update features two projects that haven't seen the light of day since I started them in January.
I Stitch Therefore I Stash (pattern from Cross Stitch Crazy):
I have decided that I am not a huge fan of stitching with variegated threads. I don't love the blocky/streaky look, and I find that my stitches don't lay as well when I have to do one stitch at a time.
QS Blue Butterfly (HAED):
I'd gotten used to stitching over 2 on a lot of my other UCJC projects, so it took a bit to get back into stitching over 1. I will admit that my love affair with HAEDs has waned. I still love the projects I'm doing and will eventually finish them all, but I like having other types of projects on the go as well. There are just too many patterns in the world that I am dying to stitch.
You're so right Adrienne! Too many patterns that we're dying to stitch. Right now, am fighting so hard not to open another cross stitch kit....
ReplyDeleteI have that problem too, Adrienne. So many patterns, so little time... And so many things that are calling to me. I have ten WIPs, ten UFOs, and four SALs on the go, and want to start more!!! Are we all crazy, lol??? Your projects look beautiful. I don't think the stitches lay quite as nicely, but no one will notice it but you!!
ReplyDeleteHaha the story of a stitcher's life, I think. So many patterns to do! I'm thoroughly convinced that I will live long enough to do them all. I must!
