Not much happened this week.  I'm working too many hours right now which means I come home and if I do stitch at all, I only manage a few stitches.

I have managed a little though.

Yesterday, I pulled out Cherry Hill Farm and frogged the basket I stitched last year since I managed to orient it the wrong way on the fabric.  I restitched it then started on the fill and added some fruit.

Sadly, work has been kicking my butt so far this month and stitching has been taking a definite back seat.  BUT, I have gotten a little done on Earth Song.  

1/6/20

Last Wednesday morning I'd planned to start Sarah Breazier from Hands Across the Sea and was sidetracked by a blackwork SAL I hadn't seen before on Facebook.  When I saw how small the finished design was, resistance went out the window.

2020 SAL from Peppermint Purple with HDF on 32ct Poseidon from Chromatic Alchemy

Once that was done, I started Sarah

2x1 with DMC on 46ct custom dyed fabric from xJuDesigns

I finished page 1 before I put her away to pull out Earth Song.
