Snow Day Stitching...

I'm Getting There

I sat at the embroidery hoop yesterday, and I can see my progress now. I'm reminded of the story where someone was asked if it's possible to eat an elephant. The answer was yes...one bite at a time. (Sorry for the visuals.)

So, I'm looking at this project as equivalent to eating an elephant. A little at a time, and the next thing you know, I'll be finished. I can't say whether I'm a quarter finished or less, because I still don't know how I'm going to finish this. A circular frame would be the easiest (and least amount of background stitching necessary), but turning it into a cushion would be nice, too.

Do you think this should finish as a circle or as a square? I'm open to suggestions. I still have time to finish it in multiple ways. Let me know what you think.

I'm not going to stitch today. I'm going to be listing up fabrics for my shop, and there might be a little cookie baking in the schedule, too. I'm giving my hands a rest. I was right about the weather change. I went to bed on Wednesday to mild weather and no white stuff. I woke up to something akin to a blizzard! We couldn't see the road, driveway or a blade of grass. I said a lot of naughty words.

I'm hoping Mother Nature has got this out of her system now. Like Tag, I've had enough of winter, and am ready to welcome spring. Any day now would suit me just fine, thank you. 

Be wary, friends. It's April Fools Day!
