Got the veins of one of the leaves done (I think there's 4 main leaves in the circle). I've been doing these Mill Hill kits a lot during the week, because they are easy to grab and take to work with me, which some days is the only stitching time I have (on my lunch break). But I only have 1 left in my "have to stitch soon" pile now, so I need to figure out some other quick projects to take with me for the rest of the week.
I also made quite a bit of progress on Perfume Bottle. It's actually starting to look a little like a bottle now. You can start to see a bit of the stripes forming.
I always work with projects with large blocks of color like this that they won't look "blended" enough in the finished project, but I think this one might turn out okay. Sorry for the not-so-great pictures on both of these, it was storming when I took them and the lighting was less than stellar.
I'm going to have to sit down this weekend and go through the remaining projects I have kitted up and ready to go. Because of a few projects that have interjected themselves into my original list, I have more projects in my "to start" box than I have days left in January. But I can't really spill into February starting things every day too much because I have several things due in March that I will need to use February to work on. Is it silly to just do like an extra week of starts into February?
Wonderful progress Alyssa.

If you want to carry more starts into February, go for it! Or you could treat yourself with one new start every week for some time, or something like that :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good progress. I like these colors.
