I can’t believe we’re already a third of the way through 2014! Amazingly, I’ve managed to keep pace with the Once Upon a Time Sampler and finished up the April block just before the month ended. I haven’t posted an update since February, so here’s the March block — Three Little Pigs:
And here’s the April block — Goldilocks and the Three Bears:
And here’s a look at my progress overall! The May story is Jack and the Beanstalk, which you can see just starting to take shape.
I have to admit that I’m somewhat surprised that I’m enjoying cross stitch so much right now — I really thought I’d be burned out after finishing Emma’s stocking. Instead, I look forward to sitting down on the couch in the evening and working on this while I watch TV. On top of that, the pacing works really well for me, since doing one reasonably-sized square per month is something manageable.
In fact, I’m enjoying it so much that I also signed up for the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery’s Halloween sampler, which starts in June and finishes in October. I’ll soon have two projects in work because I just can’t leave well enough alone!
