Writing, sewing, crazy quilting and embroidery are some of my favorite activities. This blog will be my tool to set my goals, share my progress, and make each day a step closer to achieving my dreams.

HAED SK Effects of Caffeine Day 4 Update
This morning, I took one of my boys to a routine appointment and took my travel project along to work on while I waited. This is the Heaven and Earth Designs (HAED) "SK Effects of Caffeine" cross-stitch chart based on artwork by Randal Spangler.
In 45 minutes, I managed to add 89 little red stitches to the upper-right corner. The photo to the left was shared in my last update. The chart is now 3.25% complete. (Not bad for only 4 days work!) I look forward to my next opportunity to add a few stitches to this one. *Please note a correction. In my last update, I mentioned the Christmas Raffle at HAED would raise funds for Meals on Wheels. I believe that may have been an error and the funds may have been donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. My oops. Thank you for stopping by! Renee
So much better to spend waiting time doing something other than leafing through vintage (!) magazines that invariably have a torn out recipe JUST where the article you're interested in ends.
Thank you for your sweet comments! I respond to every comment. (If you do not receive an emailed response from me, it is because you are a no-reply blogger and your email address is not available for my reply. I will try to reply to you in the comments below.)

Nice progress for only a few days!
ReplyDeleteFantastic progress!
ReplyDeleteNo matter - they're both good causes!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the Spangler stitch. How do you know you've done 89 stitches exactly? Do you count as you stitch?!
Wonderful progress in such a short time. I don't think my eyes would be able to stitch that small for very long lengths of time.
ReplyDeleteYou stitch very quickly Renee! If I was stitching in a waiting room I'd get about 10 stitches done! Great progress! Christine x
ReplyDeleteBoy, nothing like a little caffeine to get the needle humming 😄

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what a difference 89 stitches can make!
ReplyDeletegood progress, every stitch counts. I always take along needlework to the doc´s waiting room - there are never any mags to read anyway.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on this project.
