Finally Some Stitching

-
And hopefully I will stay with some regular stitching. I can't believe what a loop I've been thrown with the holidays and Indiana's back injury. Add in the new job which is pretty demanding of my time in comparison with the last job I had and it equals not much stitching.





Here is my progress so far, this is yet another of Jim Wurth's dodecagons, no clue what the name of it is as the pattern is at home and I am not. This is one of the designs in the original ad that I saw which I've been waiting for. I loved the pastel colors in this one which might be some of the motivation to finally get one out and work on it.
Indiana is slowly healing, but its slower than I would like. He's starting to try to stand but the nerves in his back legs aren't working yet or aren't working correctly so he isn't flipping his paws to stand on them, hopefully that will improve with a bit more time.

    Oh, good to see you back!

    Ugh, jobs have NO business taking up our stitching time. Not that I've done any for a couple of weeks, (disgrace that I am), but I think there will be some cross stitch, some ribbon embroidery and some sewing up of a pillow coming up over the next week..... Hope you have time to hop over!

    Tee-hee! Aren't Country Bumpkin the limit??=) Well, at least the Gold and silk A-Z won't be available in Aus until April, so that means another month or two before it gets to us! Summer treats coming up! I want that one on Embroidery Stitches 2 as well! What else is there after this? The whitework one was 'book 1 - surface techniques', so there must be a book 2 for counted work, then apart from Brazilian Embroidery, I can't think of much more they can do A-Zs on! How many do you have? I've only got 2 so far, but there are about 5 on my Amazon wishlist.=)

So, totally hoping this was not the direction of this ride.  Can someone tell the operator I want off?  I went from working 3 days per week, to back to a normal shift with overtime. A few more weeks and they sent me home with all my hardware so my commute is down to 32 seconds.  Traffic still sucks, only now its dogs following me and complaining I am not sharing breakfast. This is what I have to put up with, I'm being judged for not sharing a banana.   We also have an afternoon dinner dance every day.  It starts around 2:30pm and dinner is served at 5pm.  Riley is perpetually starving and may die at any moment despite having plenty extra snacks stored on his fuzzy butt. Stitching has been moving along. I've got all the stitching in on Ambrosia honey and am now on to the beading and a few details. Beading is taking a while, I'm reworking how the beads are applied. The model piece photographed for Needlearts, the beads look jumbled and messy to me.  I like

Its been a year, again. I see really good in spring and then life gets away from me and its a free for all.  With the current pandemic around the world, I'm spending a lot more time at home as you might imagine.  It took a few weeks but I finally found my way back to my needle and thread. Ambrosia honey has been possibly the most enjoyable of the current projects in the pile so I started there.  The starting point and a nice glass of wine because, COVID-19 I started a new job in December and I don't have quite enough tenure to qualify for work from home so I'm at the end of the list, for safety I've been working 3 days per week so they can limit how many people are in the office at once.  The upside to this for me personally was extra time to stitch. This is really fun to work on, despite there being a lot of compensation where the different designs run into each other. I don't mind compensation and it had been interesting to see colors that looked ter

Only a day late and that is because I was fussing with yardage for starting another afghan yesterday and booing at the weather forecast that kept promising a lot of snow which I know will never materialize. If it snows, it really needs to be enough that I get a snow day or at least a work from home day.
