Stitchy bugs bite

I dunno how I feel about that

Looks like you're making great progress on all of your projects

Boy it's been awhile since I've updated. Here is my blog so you can see what all I've been stitching.

Update: Good Neighbors by Paula Vaughan

I left it in the car and forgot to shut my sunroof on nite and it rained. My needle left a big of rust stain right in the middle of where I need to stitch next. So I have restarted 'Good Neighbor's' by Paula Vaughan but on 28 count fabric, doing 2 over 2. This is my first time using something other than aida and a smaller count fabric. I have to say I am LOVING it. It's going very fast, faster it seems than when stitching 1 over 1 on aida. I will include some pictures of the new Good Neighbors even tho it's posted on my blog as well.

On the Good Neighbor's project, I stitched a new personal record for myself for number of stitches completed in on day. I got 1000 (plus a few extra) done in a day. It felt great because I accomplished other things that day too, not just stitching...

I am starting to get frustrated with my inability to finish projects. I do have ADHD and that plays into it quite a bit but there are just SOOO many patterns and I want to stitch them all!

Beautiful!! You have really made fantastic progress on this!!

Natalee · Post by **Natalee** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 4:35 pm

It seems to be going so much faster than 1 over 1 which I usually do. This is my first try at 2 over 2. Thinking I'll do every project as 2 over 2 from now on if it goes this fast...LOL

Great update

I am having an awful time with the frog on this next part. I do fine till I get to the diagonal 1/4 stitches on the roof line of the dormer window. I've stitched it 3x now. Its confusing me...LOL...I usually start in the left corner of a 10x10 square and do the first color in that square, then the 2nd, etc. I left the white for last this time and really hoping I did it right. If not I will be very frustrated! That's why this next row/update is taking so long...blah...I am stubborn and WILL NOT give up.

After the THIRD try I finally got it to match up and I can move onto the next 100 stitches. What a pain in my side. All for some diagonal 1/4 stitches, in white. I have never done 1/4 stitches like that on 2 over 2 so was a challenge for me. Here's the update pics...

Rock on, Natalee. Keep that needle smokin'.

Natalee · Post by **Natalee** » Wed Oct 17, 2012 2:49 am

Thanks, thought the struggle was worth pictures earned when I finally did it right! I'm also working on putting my thread onto bobbins. I'm doing 10 right now, have 5 done. I was known as the girl who would spend an hour looking for thread in all of her plastic grocery sacks...haha...I'm finally getting them organized 10 at a time.
