This is definitely long over due. I some how lost my stitching mojo and the will to stitch on her. I was getting a little bored of the skin. But I was able to finish all the skin on her - I just bit my lip, buckeled down and powered it out. It may have been a long time process but I did it. Well to start with I made a mistake on the skin on one of the legs and I had to keep restitching it like 3 times so I had to put it down and just walk away before I went crazy on the project and did something I might of regret (spill coffee on it). I have also been actually starting to write a book, well it's a book I started like 2 years ago and I decided to get back to it and start editing and rewrite portions of it. I also have an interview for a new job this week - which I do not like job hunting very much, and being a babysitter is not in my near future as a career option that is for sure. Well here is the picture for you guys :D.

Thank you everone. The interview went really well I may have the job, the only deciding factor is the department manager and the shift manager if they want to hire me.

Yep I definitely hate making the same mistakes over and over again, but thankfully that did not happen with this time yay. I have been powering it out as much as I can because my goal is to finish it off by the end of this month since next week I will be an uncle for the third time to a nephew.

I added a single close up of my favourite part which is the stem. The colour is Caron Waterlilies 204 and the feeling of this thread is soooo soooft!!! I am also practiticng for when I have beads I can take close up pics of those because there will be lots on here, five different colours and sizes of beads.

Also the interview went great I had a second interview and now I am waiting to hear back if they are wanting to hire me.

The cross stitch is looking very good :applesauce: and keeping my :x: on the job interview.
I hope they get back to you soon. It is so hard to be patient and wait. That's when stitching really helps!
