Enchanted Cottage
This is the project I work on a few days a week during my lunch hour (time permitting).
Dimensions Gold - Enchanted Cottage
I will try to update the photos monthly (at least) - there is very little progress day to day.
Sorry for the poor quality photo here - looks like a bit of a shadow at the bottom and a bit blurred.

Re: Enchanted Cottage
It's lovely, I normally have a 'work' project for lunch times I find it relaxing.
Re: Enchanted Cottage
I stitch in my lunch hour too! I think my colleagues have got used to me being slightly odd that way, though my boss did query why I didn't go outside for lunch. He looked a bit bemused when I told him that the office light was great for stitching
As I work in hand though, I just take my current project with me - it's now quite well travelled....
Jen - your one is looking great. What's the finished picture going to be?

Re: Enchanted Cottage
This looks lovely, Jen. Wish I could still stitch in my lunch break, but I only get half an hour and by the time I've actually eaten my lunch, I only have about 15 minutes, although I did manage to stitch a birthday card in my breaks once. My colleagues thought I was a bit odd!

Re: Enchanted Cottage

I might go back to stitching before work/at lunchtime again - I agree the lights in the office are good for stitching!

Re: Enchanted Cottage
Oh great progress on this one! I really like it!
I keep thinking about bringing my stitching to do on a lunch break but most the time I don't even take a lunch break and lately if I do take one, I've been going for a walk...but stitching would be so much better!!!

Re: Enchanted Cottage
I stitch on my breaks and at lunch while at work. Sometimes it's a little project, sometimes a big one. Right now I'm taking my balloons with me. After I assemble the scroll frame setup when I'm done I just put it on the floor behind me. I get people coming by just to see what I'm working on and how far I've come.
I love what you've done so far. Keep it up and try to post updated pics more than once a month please!

Re: Enchanted Cottage
I love the design!
Great progress on it, too!
I also bring a mini project and work on it before office hours...I usually come early for work.

Re: Enchanted Cottage
This is lovely and your progress is great! Well done.
I'm sure rather than seeing you as 'odd' your workmates are probably quite impressed.
