Hi everyone,
Time for my weekly update..
Stitching:
October 4th...start
picked up this wip...last seen Maynia 2020... hoping that the time out will bring less frogging.
Sweet is The Journey ©2007 My Big Toe Designs - *Modified Spring Colorway
Fabric: 28ct ivory evenweave
Threads:
WDW...I only had 1 of the called for weeks for the spring colorway...so I dug through
my DMC..pulled the 62 and 3363 and then went back through my overdyes
to come up with Sophie's Pink and Dried Sage.
Stitch Count: 125 x 54, 2 over 1pink & Green; 1 over 1 for the purple.
Cross Stitch
Where I left off back in May
After 1.25 hours
October 5th... continued with Sweet is the Journey
I loved getting so much done yesterday.
After 1.0 hour today...All that is left is the flowers on the bottom
October 6th...continued with Sweet is the Journey
Worked on the bottom greenery.. a little over 1.5hr.
October 7th...continued with Sweet is the Journey
Finished the bottom greenery.. added in one of the pink flowers 2.0 hr.
October 8th...continued with Sweet is the Journey
All that was left is the pink flowers - Decided that I wanted the flowers to stand out a little more so I dug out Some DMC 776 and started to backstitch them. Now after 2.0 hr.
October 9th...continued with Sweet is the Journey & Now it's FINISHED!
After 2.0
hr. 
October 10th...time for something new?..or maybe another WIP?
I decided on a new start that arrived earlier this week.
All Hallow's Eve ©2020 Lila's Studio
Fabric: 40ct Woodland Halloween by Mountain Aire Fabrics
Threads: DMC, GAST and CC
Stitch Count: 99 x 125
Cross Stitch 
Third time is a charm...I had to frog twice as each time I started, it was in the wrong place as I had my fabric folded on my Q-snaps instead of cutting it. So only about 30 minutes of stitching shown even though I stitched for 2 hrs.
October 11th..
Later today I'll continue with Lila's Studio All Hallow's Eve. I'll share progress next week.
