The last time that I posted, this is what my cross stitched hog looked like. I was just beginning to use other colors on it and that made me happy because at least they were different shades of blue. lol
I haven’t had a whole lot of time to work on it in the past two weeks, but I have managed to make a little bit of progress.
Please ignore my shadow on the fabric. I have a hard time finding a good place to take a picture at night. I am starting to use some grays and other shades of blue. Because of the light you can’t really see it well, but that puff of gray towards the left is a cloud of smoke. In person you can really kind of see it.
Just as a reminder, this is the picture that I’m stitching. Again, I’m not sure that it’s going to turn out the way that I want, but I’ll do my best. If it doesn’t turn out very well I’ll just say that it’s an Abstract A-10. 😉

I know how you feel with the colors not showing. I was stitching white on white and had to take a picture of it for my update, imagine that. Lol. I think it’s coming along nicely and you may be pleasantly suprised with how well it turns out in the end.
Thanks for the kind words! Even if it doesn’t turn out as I hope, I’ve really enjoyed stitching on it. And that’s what matters, isn’t it? 😉
Definitely. It’s one of those “it’s not where you end up, it’s the journey that matters” or something of that sort. Lol
