I am sew glad that Kate from Life In Pieces has bought back 15 Minutes to Stitch. When she was running it before I made great progress on my cross stitch which went from this
to this
By just doing 15 minutes a day on it. It kind of fell by the wayside again after that and sad to say it still isn't finished. I did attempt to start it again but I have misplaced the chart at some point along the way. Now that 15 Minutes to Stitch is back I might just be a bit more motivated to go looking for the chart again!
This week I have not been working on the cross stitch. Monday I bound a quilt that was patiently waiting to be finished, Tuesday I machine stitched a binding on another quilt that needed binding, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I was working on this little guy ( yes I am counting crochet as stitching time!)
Saturday I started the hand stitching on the binding then got distracted by another crocheted creature, but today I hadn't done anything when I saw the post for the link up. I looked at the clock and realised I had just enough time to get my 15 minutes in before it was 12pm so I quickly got my around the bases blanket out and did 15 minutes on that so now it looks like this
It is getting close to finished now and with 15 minutes of stitching a day I reckon it could be finished sooner rather than later which is what would happen if I just worked on it every now and then like I have been. By doing that tonight it also means I have done 15 minutes of stitching every day this week!
WINNING!!
I love the way Kate is recording her progress this year and I think I will follow suit because I think it might just keep me motivated to do a bit more this year!
