Redwork Noel Stitch-a-Long, part 4

Hello everybody! Another three weeks, more weirdness at work. But let's focus on the fun stuff! 

Here's where I was last time, a little shy of being halfway done.  

And after three weeks, here's where I am: 

I have 70 of the 120 rows done (!!!) and I still love it. I'm going to slow down a bit as I am finally admitting to myself that, well, Christmas is around the corner and I need to get some gifts stitched! So it will get some attention, but not as much as I've given it the last few weeks. I'm hoping to get half of the next 10 rows stitched. 

The other stitchers in this stitch-a-long work on an amazing variety of projects. Go check out their blogs and get inspired : Avis, Claire, Gun, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Megan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, Cathie, Linda, Mary Margaret, Cindy, and Helen.

See you in three weeks!

Redwork Noel Stitch-a-Long, part 3

Hello everybody. It's been quite a weird three weeks. 

Here's where I was last time:  

I was meant to go to a team offsite on the far side of the country which would have allowed for a lot of stitching on the plane. But on Friday we got news that the event (that I was supposed to fly to on Sunday morning) was cancelled. A few hours later we were told that my boss and her peer on the sales team had been abruptly let go. 

That has led to a couple of weeks of uncertainty and confusion at work, and we're still trying to figure everything out. A new executive joined the company in the interim and everyone is just trying to get their work done. Strange times. 

So, sadly, my opportunity to meet my colleagues and plan our projects for 2025 has been cancelled. And on a personal note, I DIDN'T HAVE HOURS TO STITCH!!!

But comparing the two photos, I guess I did get some stitching done: 

I have over 50 of the 120  rows done, and I'm happy to say that I still like the way it looks. No thought or hope of getting this stitched by this Christmas, but I think I might be halfway done with the stitching by our next check in. We'll see. 

I love seeing what the other stitchers in this stitch-a-long work on. Go check out their blogs and get inspired by their amazingly beautiful and diverse projects: Avis, Claire, Gun, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Megan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, Cathie, Linda, Mary Margaret, Cindy, and Helen.

See you in three weeks!
