Today's weather (and for most of the week for that matter) calls for rain so I'm singing "Rainy Days & Mondays" but it doesn't bring me down. Lol! Part of the reason I'm happy is because this is soup weather and I've got a lamb (leftover from Easter last weekend) & barley soup simmering on the stove. It will also have carrots, potatoes, and parsnips in it. YUM!!!
I worked this weekend on my cross-stitch while watching all kinds of sports: NC State softball Friday evening and Saturday & Sunday afternoons, St. Louis Cardinals baseball all weekend, and St. Louis Blues hockey Saturday. Got quite a bit done. Here are my before & after pictures.

Doesn't look like a lot but, you have to remember, these are tiny, tiny Xs!
Of course I've also moved along on the RSC19 Tiny Tuesday blocks as well
I think I should have made the background fabric the spinner and the spinner blue the background. Not a very pretty block all by itself with the confetti frame but I figure it won't matter in the grand scheme of the final quilt. If it truly bothers me later, I'll re-do it but for now, it stays!
Have a great week and pick a project - whether crafty or organizational or gardening -- and Move It Forward!
Beautiful cross-stitch embroidery, and great progress, even if they are so tiny ;)
ReplyDeleteI think you got a lot done on the x stitch. It’s looking good. I like your attitude on the color choices for the little blocks. Keep it the way it is until more blocks are done. Only change if necessary. Good job this week.
