Year in review and WIP

Well for about a year now I've been really into cross stitching.  I've finished a few smaller projects but this monster is my current WIP. It was started June 8, 2025 and is currently 30% complete.  81,976 stitches complete - 191,302 stitches to go                                      This is what the finished project will look like. Projected finish is early October 2026. Year in review Zelda - 67540 stitches I haven't decided what I'm doing with this one yet.

Wondering where I've been?

So here's just a little taste of what I've been up to in the last 3 months.  High School Drama Club musical, Girl Scout cookies, stripping wallpaper, birthdays, snow, work, and the list goes on and on. I did do a little sewing and embroidery along with some hand quilting in my "spare" time.

The sewing / embroidering / quilting

Keychains for our amazing cast, stage crew and directors

A bag to carry things back and forth from rehearsal

Finally getting to slowly hand quilt my Labyrinth quilt. Hopefully it will be done by summer

Zelda quilt was completed prior to rehearsals beginning

Drama Club (this is all new to me so it was a learning experience!)

Going to see some of the other local high school productions for inspiration

Getting panels primed and ready for our amazing artist to work her magic

A preposterous hat for our step-sisters

Set building and painting

Pretty proud of this tree

Costume alterations and embellishments with Mrs. B

And just like that it's over

Can't wait to do it all again next year!
