I’ve been working a lot of extra hours at work, so when I’m home at night this is where I have been parking my butt.

Before I get into the cross stitch, have I told you about my LED bulb?? I LOVE IT! It’s insanely bright and I definitely can’t hide when the drug deals are going down at the house across the road from me, but I love this bulb! It’s supposed to be equivalent to a 60W incandescent bulb, but it’s WAY brighter than that. And zero heat. I can sit under that light for six hours and the bulb will be cool to the touch. LED’s are definitely the way to go.

Anyway…….

This is what my project looked like on January 6th. You can see a poinsettia and a plum. Perhaps a little bit of greenery.

I told you that I had been spending a lot of time in my rocking chair!

This completes the entire left hand ‘arm’ of the cross. In order to give me more of a sense of accomplishment I have decided to fill in the background words. Then I will go back and backstitch as much of this portion that I can. Once I have that part done I will move my frame and begin stitching on the top part of the cross. Yeah!
