So I didn't get to work on my project on my vacation as planned. So once we got home Saturday I worked on it and I only done a few hours today (Tuesday) but a lot got done on Sunday and Monday. The hoop is blocking off just a bit of my work but I've got a lot done. I hope I can be rid of this soon. My first day back is the 11th so I'm going to be doing as much as I can. I hope to be done it by then. Fingers crossed that I do.

And now after a long day at 2:35am on wednesday im off to bed. I'm so determined to get this done I'm losing some sleep. Crazy.

Its looking really good Corey and try not to lose too much sleep as I find that is when mistakes happen.
You are going great with it and I can understand you wanting to get it finished. Good luck

Oh wow you're making great progress. You're braver than me though - While I love designs like this, I don't have the patience to stitch light grey/white on white - pale colours close to that of the fabric.

Dont go too crazy with ploughing on, when youre tired youre more likely to make mistakes and that would be even more frustrating

Looking forward to seeing this one finished

There is a bunch of half stitch around the bottom left and around the top. It shouldn't take too long. Then from there, is some filling in stitches around the nose, and just those odd colours that weren't worth taking out because there weren't that many stitches of that colour. Then the backstitching and about six french knots. Thankfully there isn't a lot of backstitching.

It's 1130am and I have til 630pm to get it done. I'm pretty confident that I can get it done on time. I might leave out some half stitches...... But one way or another it'll be done. Here's an update pic and cross your fingers for finishing it on time.
