Knock knock

This week I made no progress on the mystery cross-stitch, as Mom decided that we should play cards instead of doing arts and crafts. Despite not remembering that she has ever played the game before, her instincts remain on point; she knocked in the final game, collecting only 4 points, but that was all she needed! Next time...

I did make a bit of progress on the flowers watching some training videos and cycling recaps. The final seams of the hexagons are so tedious, because there's so much fabric to deal with. I need to figure out how to focus only on the exact parts I'm sewing together and not try to gather the rest up in my hands, because that is going to become impossible once I start assembling the flowers into larger groups. Something to work on. Anyway, here's what's changed since the last photo - I completed blue, added one more purple seam, and forged a tiny green connection.

We go on vacation next week, so I hope to have some time at the airport to sew more. We'll see!

Yay for webinars

This week I was catching up on some webinars for work, so was able to get in a bit of sewing on the flowers - yellow is almost done and blue is in the running for next to finish! The fact that I didn't just finish the ones that were already more progressed is either due to the fact that the single seams (constructing the strips) are much easier than the multi-seams (sewing the strips together) or a general reflection of my chaotic brain and inability to power through boring tasks, or both. Sigh.

I also got some work done on my mystery cross-stitch on Tuesday! It's so tiny!!
