Welcome to a quick update on my current cross-stitching. Am I the only one who can not believe it is August already? Seems like July just came and went so fast I barely noticed it. Although I had grand plans for Christmas in July stitching, I really did not get as much done as I anticipated.
Especially these last few days. One of our dogs, Duke, has a spinal disc injury and is on two weeks of mobility restrictions. That is taking some adjustments to routines. Thankfully, he is taking to it like a champ, so I really shouldn’t complain.
Fortunately, I did make some progress in Nutcracker Parade over the weekend. Clara & The Nutcracker’s float is all stitched up. Hopefully, I will manage to get the whole piece stitched before the Christmas season as I would really like to fully finish it and display it this year.


Now, I am bringing back out Animal Almanac. Counting August, I am four blocks behind. Can I get caught up before the Midnight Way SAL begins on August 17th? Probably not, but it will be fun to try!

I hope this finds you well and enjoying life.
Thanks for checking in & happy stitching!
