2023 Works In Progress

My 2023 WIP Parade – about time I recorded another flosstube video, and here it is – my full coverage cross stitch WIP parade. I’m looking forward to seeing more of these from other stitchers in the coming month or […]
A crafter of many years, now using this blog to share my ongoing projects and tips for others to enjoy. I mainly concentrate now on Heaven and Earth cross stitch designs - with several projects on the go at any one time. Also often found knitting shawls and socks, papercrafting. Easily distracted by new cross stitch patterns. Slave to a tyrannical black n white cat called Yuen.

It felt like a very slow month on Nightmare this month. I’ve been struggling to concentrate again and there has been sections with a lot of starting and finishing of colours. There has been a lot of background to stitch […]
I didn’t have a very good start to this project this month. On the first evening I stitched a length of thread to complete working across the project and as I was re-threading the needle I realised that I had […]
I have really struggled with this project this month. I began with the intention of finishing page 14 and got the spring shelf on the page finished off and had just started on the summer section when I decided that […]
Early on this month I completed the first 50 rows on page 3 so I’m now all the way across the project. It also meant that I got to move the hoop back to page 1 to work on the […]
