I’ve managed a fair bit of stitching away from home, all these little stitching sessions add up; I usually get to work half an hour early, three times a week that’s 1.5 hours, 20 to 30 minutes whiles I have my morning coffee at home, that probably adds up to an hour a week, 40 minutes in the physio waiting room…it all adds up to pretty quick progress on a simple cross-stitch.

Last week I had almost finished a sheep design from Sew Together series by Jeanette Douglas..

It didn’t take me long to do the last corner. These designs are meant to have a border round but I’m missing it off so they match some other designs size-wise as the plan is to put them all in a cross-stitch book.

There was just the three flowers to stitch at the top and the satin stitch grass under the sheep. I think it’s pretty cute!

I cracked straight on to the next in the series – I’ve got four of these designs, I bought them a while ago on a destash site. This one is numbers and letters and it’s almost finished too, I’ve just got the words to add…

These little cross-stitches in my bag have become almost like a comfort blanket, I don’t like leaving the house without one! It doesn’t help that I once spent 5 hours stuck on a broken down commuter train, luckily I had a seat and some stitching!
