Stitchy Saturday

I made more progress yesterday.  We had a quiet day at home.  Cowboy was gathering his stuff for his camping trip later this week.  I spent the day reading and stitching.  I took out the name and moved it to the left one stitch.  I was going to leave it, but it nagged at me, so I redid it.  Sigh.  No one but me would have noticed it was a stitch off.  But since I am the one who will have to live with it, I guess I better make myself happy!

Making progress

Spent a couple of hours stitching while Cowboy ran errands, buying stuff for his camping trip next week.  I was not particularly keen on going to Bass Pro Shop and Sports Authority, so sent him out on his own and I got to stay home and stitch!  Later I took him to Texas Roadhouse for Father's Day dinner, as he works on Sunday.

New Project

I started a new crossstitch project this afternoon.  It's not like I don't already have a ton of projects started, patiently waiting their turn to be completed.  But these are small, so maybe I will actually finish them.
They use Crescent Colours and DMC.  There are 4 in the series so far.  The designer finished hers as stand-alones, wrapped around sytrafoam blocks.  I am thinking I will finish them flat and hang them like a banner.  I have limited tabletop surfaces on which to display stuff.  So far I am enjoyong the project.  This is about 3 hours of work.  Somehow it doesn't seem like much.
