Woodland Enchantress Cross Stitch, Progress Report 8

We're well past due for an update on the cross stitch! Here's a reminder of what it's supposed to look like when I'm finished:


Here's what it looked like the last time I updated, in January 2018:


And here's what it looks like now:


During the Great Blog Burnout of 2018, I stopped keeping track of the hours/days I worked on this project. Bear in mind that I missed 2 updates (in April & July 2018), but I still get the impression that I worked on it a lot more this year than I did last year. I feel like I've made a lot of progress. I know I finished the bottom half around mid-July. That means all that work on the top half has occurred in less than 3 months. I attribute this to the fact that I started taking the project into work with me when I have day shifts. It's much easier to put this down down & pick it back up when the phones are busy than it is to read.

I've already purchased another big cross stitch, which I plan to hang in our bedroom, so I'm feeling extra motivated to finish this one in a more timely fashion!

Note: I'm trying to complete the sky around her head before I fill in the rest of her body because I'm bored to death with those colors (mostly blue-purple, sky blue, and light blue).

  2. It's looking like I'm not going to have it done by July as I'd hoped, but it's still coming along very nicely!
