I must admit, I am SO excited to be done with most of the spine of this book. It is finally time to start creating the sleepy dragon and his cup of coffee (or tea)! I just love Randal Spangler's artwork and am so happy Heaven and Earth Designs created this cross-stitch chart.
The project is now 48.06% complete.
Page 2 is 80.99% finished.
The spine of the book reads:
INVESTIGATING
THE EFFECTS OF
CAFFEINE ON
THE MIND
I. M. DRAGGIN
Joining the Stitch Along (SAL) hosted by Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea has motivated me to make so much progress on this piece.
For this SAL, each participant selects one project to work on. We all share our progress every 3 weeks. I do hope you will hop over to see what everyone else is working on. We are in different time zones, so if a post is not up yet, please check back later. If you are interested in joining the SAL, check out the details Avis has shared on her blog.
Hayley, Megan, Deborah, Clare, Mary Margaret,
I hope you all have an amazing week!

Wow! That's a lot of extra stitches! Keep going :-)
You have been so patient and now you get the fun dragon, love the start of him/her taking shape. Great work x
The spine looks very realistic! Charts are so amazingly detailed nowadays aren't they? Very nice work!
That's wonderful progress! I look forward to seeing him appear, all at once or in parts. Almost half way - whoop, whoop!
1000 stitches? You are the Queen!! Well done, Renee!
Looking great
Great progress!
Yes to getting the spine all done and moving to the fun bit. Beautiful stitching...will be quite a keepsake.
Love this project and you've done so many stitches again. I bet it'll be brilliant fun now you've reached the dragon :)
Lots of progress being made! I can't wait to see the dragon start to appear.
Fantastic progress!
Beautiful, I'm thinking about starting to track progress like you do but I've no idea how !
Yay! Let there be dragons!!!! (or in this case, A dragon). It's no wonder you're excited!
Thank you, Megan! I am a bit of a nerd. I track my progress on a spreadsheet that I update after I stitch each day.
Catherine, thank you! The dragon really will be the fun part!
Sunny, me too!
