Welp, that's all the cross-stitch on this one.

Now, I'm going to take a break before I start the backstitch. On this one, there is a LOT of backstitch.

This is slow-going, but it's also huge and complicated and when it is done it will be stunning.

I finally got the back-stitch done on this. Goddamn, but I hate back-stitch. It's BORING.

I'd made some changes on this one, as I do.



It was just too busy, I thought. I might use that calligraphy somewhere else, later on.

This is where I am on this piece right now. I could leave it here or go on to add the calligraphy on the sides as shown here.

Should I bother with that extra bit? I could probably finish it next week, but I'm not sure I want to do it.

Huh. Found a different version of the kit here.

I had no idea I had a "craft comfort zone"; but, apparently, I do.

Started yesterday and I've already pulled seven colors.

Well, it won't be long now.

Tuesday.



Today.

I'm at a point in my embroidery career that I need a trolley-needle (or similar).

This can't be this easy. I must be doing something wrong.

I am being very slow with this. I hate doing backstitch and it's holding me up.



It does not help that I did this yesterday, as a break.
