Thank you! I have a lot of time to stitch at the moment so trying to do as much as I can before that ends.

I thought the mock up was really cute but it's turning out better than I expected!

Sounds great! Thank you for all the time and effort!

The number of patterns I have saved is more than I could do in my lifetime. It's probably more than 2 lifetimes worth of patterns. I really shouldn't be allowed to even look at patterns anymore. haha

I also have a hard time fully finishing my stitching. My mind goes well the stitching is done so lets move on to the next thing. haha

Beautiful! I really like how the snow looks on the mountain. The extra strands make it pop!

That's fair! It's going to take more that one post to change the tide. I'll see if I can come up with something better for next week!

I am also a fan of large blocks of color as evident from my posts. Knowing that not every stitch needs to be perfect like on a sampler or something like that helps a lot. I'm still a very new stitcher and still learning how to keep things neat what better way to practice then with some large blocks!

Beautiful! Are you going to finish it as a pillow? Looking forward to seeing it finished! I haven't done any specialty stitches. They scare me a bit. I have one almost FO that just needs the whiskers backstitched in and I've been putting it off for months. I should just do it. No time like now to learn.

Edit: Loving the grime guard so far. My hand get sweaty and it helps prevent that. I don't feel like I need to wash my hands several times in a long stitch session.

Beautiful! I love it. I want to sit there and watch the world go by. I didn't even notice the lack of shadow until you mentioned it.

Thank you! I plan on posting it there once I get it FFO'ed.

Thank you! I'll need all the luck I can get for FFOing! I tend to start the next project and forget to FFO things.

Not as much progress on my main project this week since I made that bookmark. Also, started a new project that I think is going to be a lot of fun to stitch.

I made a bookmark for my mom for her bday. I made lots of adjustments to colors and I messed up the count in one spot but I feel like you can't tell.

3over1 16 count Aida

I'm saving the thin right blank spot for a possible pop of red like @Alteon suggested last week.

I'll be switching over to making a bookmark for my mom's birthday soon so this project will be in hold.
