Sadly, the big plan to see some real progress on my
Good Day Syre Christmas cross stitch went a little sideways last week. Thinking it would be the perfect small stitching project to pack for a getaway was all well and good, until I came down with a cold on day two of our trip. Things continued to worsen as the trip progressed so any potential quiet stitching time turned into nap time really quickly.
We were home again by Friday but that's when things really went south; I spent much of my long weekend either sleeping, trying to breathe, or coughing up a lung (okay, maybe a little exaggeration, but it wasn't good).
For whatever reason, half way through the weekend I decided to pick up my stitching. Not the best decision as this snowflake just about got the better of me. I feel as though I ripped out just about every stitch that I put in. Surprisingly, I did end up with a little progress but I can't say it was the most enjoyable time I've spent with a needle in hand, so I put it down again.
A day or two later - after better drugs - things went better. Good thing, as I was starting to wonder if this pattern just wasn't for me. I'm now well into the snowflake doily and it is moving along nicely. Happy to have things back on track and hoping that this cold is on its way out the door soon....M

Feel much better soon. Cross stitch goes better when your head is clear!
So sorry about the head cold, Marie. I've never had one in my life-knock wood...I say someone should study me to find out why, lol. Anyway, you pushed through and moved along this lovely piece. I like how you grid your fabric. Is this one thread over two?
I hope you’re on the mend, Marie! Not the way to spend your getaway. I can’t imagine attempting the detail in this work, with or without drugs … LOL! It’s a beauty.
