Floss Friday -- Parrot Progress

There were very few stitches added to Parrot.

This is where I stopped last week…

This is where I stopped this week…

The difference is 160 stitches. Can you tell? 😊


Doesn’t look like I’m going to finish by the end of July but that is ok. I had just hoped to have it finished and framed before September’s GaRon cross-stitch retreat in Montgomery, AL. It may still happen but I’m not holding my feet to the fire to get it done.


I was almost led down the rabbit hole of starting another project with Diann and VickiALMOST! Actually, I’m surprised I refrained. Those two are quite the enablers 😊


The next few days I'll be planning for a big trip we are taking at the end of August. And I’m hoping to rearrange my sewing space.


What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever it is, enjoy it 😊


See you soon,

I can see the difference. Some projects are just slow.

Progress, even slow, is progress.

Yes, parrot looks a bit more defined! Well I was unable to resist Diann and Vicki. I ordered floss from Michael's to pick up yesterday, and while I was online, I got some basting spray and storage boxes on sale and put it on my new Michael's credit card - lol! I'm blaming it on Diann and Vicki! Anyway I have my fabric prepped and in the frame, so we shall see if I get it done before summer is over. ;)

We love to enable people in any way, lol! But good for you - sticking to a project you've already started. I think your parrot looks amazing - every stitch counts! A big trip sounds exciting - tell us more!

I can see you did more stitching! I feel some projects are just slow no matter what we do. I rearranged my sewing room a few years ago and really enjoy it now. I'm sure you'll have a fun trip in August. You always seem to have great trips!
