Half way through When winter Wanes. Not going to lie, I am not enjoying this at all. But I am determined to get it done so I can get it on the wall with the other two.

Hi all,
Hope you're all doing well? Some lovely update photos - well done all.
I haven't been doing much - work, hen weekend, visiting family over the weekend - pretty much taking up my only spare time. I had to buy a single skein of thread for my current project so visited Hobbycraft as couldn't justify buying anything else from LoveCrafts etc. to get free postage!!
I've made a few more crocheted hearts keyrings. These will go to the WI for the summer fete craft stall. Figured it would be good to have some pocket money purchases for children.
DH is still looking for a new job - no luck so far, not even an interview. We are considering selling up and relocating/downsizing to enable semi-retirement for us both. Need to do some financial modelling to see whether this could work - eeek!

Sorry for absence, I have been stitching!
Coxy I hope the financial modelling has given you and DH some options for the future so you can take control rather than waiting for offers of employment. Keeping everything crossed.
DaL you’ve been super busy, some great stitching shared.I have one TaDa which I finished on 5th May but only got round to mounting and backing yesterday. I wrapped and dropped it in the office today and hope she likes it. This is hanging of my cupboard door.

I’ve also been stitching’a year in the life of’, February done and started on March. Photos to follow. I feel like I’ve been permanently attached to a paint brush and cleaning cloths, both at our new house and helping DD and wife move into their first home. Really exciting for them.‘One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things’ said Mole.Cross stitch cafe TaDa Enjoy the Little Things, WIP Love cats, ‘A Year in the Life of’ HSC July-December and The Seasons graphic sampler.

progress update. I am one column away from being three quarters through. Am back with this piece and determined to get it done now. Fingers crossed it will be done in a couple of weeks.
Love that piece Charley. Looks great. I have got some bits displayed on hoops, but don't think I backed them, or sorted them properly!Debt free Feb 2021 🎉2 -
Lovely updates, keep going DAL, i feel your pain with a cross stitch you're not enjoying. I too am determined to finish seascape this year. Hope you've all been enjoying the lovely weather

Hope you’re all well. Progress made for both DaL and Nmm.Here’s mine on a year in the life. Already made some unintentional colour changes in the border 🙆♀️ Haven’t started love cats yet as wanted to catch up with this which is quite an easy stitch.
