Work in Progress Wednesday 06/03/2015

So... I might be a little bit excited about being so close to finishing Santa and the Mouse. Just maybe. I added 1,157 stitches this week, which completed columns 5 and 6 of the chart and part of column 7.

Above is how it looked last week. At that time, I was on track to finish the chart on September 29th. Now, I should finish by September 1st. (If I keep exceeding my 250 stitches per week goal, it may be much sooner!)



Last week, the chart was 75% complete when I shared my WIPW post. Then, I worked on it more and finished the 5th column, as seen above.


I was not feeling well on Sunday, so I had more down time than anticipated and completed the 6th column of stitching on this chart.



Last night, I put in some more time. The chart is now 82% complete. Page 3 is nearly done (with less than 2 columns) and page 4 is the smallest of them all (with 7 columns.) The end is definitely in sight!


Above, you may see my progress within the past month.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

1. Complete 250 x-stitches on the HAED Santa & the Mouse chart (which is no longer available, but it is a part of this chart at Heaven and Earth Designs.) Done! Completed over 1,100 x-stitches this week. See photos above.

XS takes a lot of time, but you really made a leap this time! The stitchery party is growing! I had nothing to report this week, but I will have for Monday. Yay!
