The State of the Stitching

 One tree is almost done.


 That's my new sampler on my new frame. Do I love the new frame? Nope. It's as awkward as anything else I own. It works best on a table and not on my lap which is what I was looking for.



 I finished a gold flower on the old sampler that's on my Q Snap frame.



 The yarn in the basket is making me crazy. I can't count it seems. At all.



I did put a few stitches in Santa but I am having the same counting issue with that sweater of his. I pull out more than I put in. Such is the nature of the beast, I suppose.

  1. I really enjoyed seeing all your stitching today. I think my favorite is the yarn in the basket. You probably could've guessed that the right though? I enjoyed reading your comment on my post today about your son living in Japan. Alex was up in the area of the tsunami and earthquake also. Right after that, I went over and took over 3000 crocheted and knitted items that people had donated. We delivered them to many of the shelters in the area. That's when I started my blog. Where did your son live? Blessings, Betsy

  6. I love cross stitch....it just doesn't love me. I can't do it at all so you're doing much better than I could.
