finish my cross stitch

I did the smallest bit of cross-stitch you can imagine, but atleast i can say i worked on this goal….a little bit.

I just don’t seem to have the patience at the moment to complete this.

I have now completed the goal i was working on the most – (Watch 50 movies in 2009), I now have time to put this as my most important goal for now.

So today i am going to crack on with this cross-stitch, which as of now has taken me nearly 3 years!

I have only done just over 1/3 of it i would say so wish me luck!

I have 2 large projects in the works that I havn’t worked on in a while. I really want to finish them, then frame everything.

im trying to get tv shows that i like so i can sit down and watch something i enjoy while cross stitching i really like smallville and im almost down with season five but since i haven’t gotten a job yet i cant buy the rest of the seasons so im trying to just watch them online, i also like my name is earl but i’ve never been able to find that series in any of the dvd stores around where i live and the site i have found it on i can only watch with a vpn but the vpn i use has been blocked by china =P

i’ve uploaded a full view picture of my cross stitch with this entry (the tiny bit of color is what ive done so far) but im trying to buy some tv shows and stuff and im going to make myself cross stitch every time i watch tv at my house

1. i need to find my cross stitch.
2. i need to get it all organized and put it in a bag.
3. i need to put the bag in the living room so i can work on my cross stitch every time i watch tv

I really like this pattern, but I can see it’s going to take me FOREVER. This portion is the very center of the design, and it stretches out quite far in all directions. Quite an undertaking, but it’ll be fun. :)

that I was originally working on with this goal is no more. :( I tried to rip out some misplaced stitches…and ended up cutting a hole in the adidas cloth. Not good. I don’t know if I can salvage it. In the meantime it’s in a bag in my closet and will come out again when I feel brave enough to face it.

Looking on the bright side, I started another sampler that I really like. It uses a lot of colors and is full of flowers and cute motifs. I’m excited to be starting something new.

I started this “Precious Moments” pattern over two years ago with the intention of finishing it before my daughter was born (which happend Dec ‘05) and then doing an additional pattern each year and then making them into a quilt when I had done 5… so, I’m not just behind on this one, I still need to do two more to catch up! I just have a bit of a goose body and some grass and back-stitching to do for this one and then I can start on another. Now that I have a job with a lot of down time, I’ve been able to get some of this one done!

I really don’t need a new hobby. I have enough hobbies to choke a large horse. But I found a lovely cross-stitch that I started years ago when I was cleaning out my closet. I love the pattern so I hope I can finish it and give it a more fitting place on the wall.
