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.

As you can see, things have been very slow at work this week.

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

Well, that's coming along nicely.
I was at a party tonight and I brought a thing that came to me in a dream.
(
Was this some kind of costume idea?

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.

I finally finished the back-stitch on these two:
It's been a bit, but every time I try to work on them I

Question
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
.

Looking good. I should be done with it before month-end.

I had no idea I had a "craft comfort zone"; but, apparently, I do.
Started yesterday and I've already pulled seven colors.

Finished the bird. Now I have to block and frame it.
He looks good.

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

I'm still not sure if this is just the easiest embroidery method ever. It's very similar (from what I can tell) to classical Japanese silk embroidery.
4:35, those are French knots.

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

Well, that's done. Started May 16th, so not too shabby. Now it's on to the next project.

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.

This son-of-a-bitch is coming along nicely. I got tired of working on the
giant tiger piece
, so I'm taking a break and getting something out of my "to-do" box.
(
Yeah, that looks relaxing.
