WIP pics

I thought I'd post a WIP update. 

The last time I posted Maggie's Mess it looked like this:


Now it looks like this:


It may not look like much progress, but believe me, that's more than what you can perceive by just looking at it.  I was about cross eyed and crazy by the time I finished all those half stitches of the flower arrangement.  It has felt good to move beyond that.  Although the area I'm about to start to the right is a wall with wallpaper on it, lots of confetti stitches, and it will probably drive me a bit nuts as well, lol.  Oh well, such is life with cross stitch.

Another WIP is part of a Christmas stitch-a-long I'm doing with some friends.  It's 3 separate patterns, this is #1. I'm about half way finished with it.


Cute and simple, but chock full of quarter and three quarter stitches.  But I'm enjoying it.

And the real reason stitching is a slow process right now:


This is Tucker.  He likes to spend most of his life right with me/on me or tucked up under my neck.  So much so that the whole family swears any time they pick him up, he smells like me, lol.  Little rascal sure does hinder the stitching process though!
