Currently Stitching | July 6

Does anyone else have this trouble while stitching?

I think the floor stand is a signal to her that my lap is planning to stay put a while.

Last week was a great week for stitching. I finished the hummingbird portion of Hibiscus Duo:

That was my goal for the week so I rewarded myself with a new start. Unfortunately, Rocky Point turned out to be the bane of my weekend. I was really torn on whether I wanted to put it away for good, but I spent so much time getting the fabric ready and putting everything on bobbins, I've decided I'm going to work on it.

This is what the finished piece will look like:

It seems like the majority of the pattern is comprised of half stitches, 3 strands, and blended colors so I'm not too keen on it right now. I'm going to try parking the whole thing from the top down.

How was your stitching week? Let me know what you are working on!

Currently Stitching | June 29

It has been a long time since I've posted on my blog! It's been on my mind lately since I've been cross stitching a lot. I think it's time I finally post some updates!

I'm happy to see so many of you still posting. I'm trying to get the blogs I like to visit into my new blog reader so make sure you say hi if you stop by so I can be sure to get you added.

Since my last post, I finished High Tide.

I'm sorry about the evening shadows. Hopefully I'll get a better picture once I attempt to frame it.

I recently framed Seashell Beauty and gifted it to my mom. I love how it turned out. It was a Dimensions Daydreams kit. It came with an 8x8 mat which layered perfectly under an 8x10 mat and frame.

I'm now stitching on Hibiscus Duo again.

Wimbledon tennis starts this week so I will definitely get in a lot of stitching time over the next two weeks.

What about you? What are you stitching on this week? Let me know in the comments or leave me link.
