Progress: Still slow, but moving at least.

Sanity: Hanging in there.

Times stabbed self with needle this week: Only twice.

Times flung across the room in despair: Just the once.

Profanities uttered whilst cross stitching: All of them. Many times.

I think it's fair to say that I have seriously lost momentum with this project. Progress is sloooooo-ooooow. I will not list the things I blame for this, for fear of sounding like a broken record. But one of the best things about this blog is that I can look back at previous large cross stitch projects and know that I always do this. It flies along ( Read more... )

Aaarrgh. It's been just over a month since I last posted on Serenity's progress. And there's not actually been that much.

It would seem that no matter how much I love the subject, or feel like I'm enjoying the project, there will always be a point where one of my cross stitches of doom just starts to annoy me and makes me want to be violent toward ( Read more... )

Nearly there... Oh so nearly there....

Brain melty...

eyes squigly....

I clearly am not good at the end game of large cross stitch projects. Will attempt to borrow a better camera for pictures when it's finished as these just aren't coming out well at all. Both nacelles are done though, so I should focus on the happy that is that.

I used to have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this old blogging malarkey, but now I'm getting to quite enjoy it. Mostly because every time I start to post an Enterprise update I feel like I haven't done much of late, but then I check my last post on the subject and see just how much more is filled in. It's quite encouraging. But I still ( Read more... )

Have had a few days off this project, due to trying to do some real work and also working on a birthday pressie piece which I shalln't post til it has been gifted. But this is how Peter was looking when I abandoned him last week.

Now that I've had some time to step away the grumpyness is definitely fading. And the nearness of completion is a ( Read more... )

Oh sweet baby Jeebus, when will this be done? Even the darker colours are failing me now. They're as fickle, knotty and prone to snapping at the most inopportune moments as the gorram pinks. Pah.

I'm doing that moaning thing again, aren't I?

But I have my new icon for furiousness and this makes me happy again. Does that mean I ought to change it ( Read more... )

The sky, save for a few lone stitches here and there, is finished. Pale colours are still of the devil. They even seem to break and knot more than the dark colours - although that might just be a self fulfilling prophecy due to the rage. The end draws ever nearer but I'm still just pushing on because quitting would depress me more. Hopefully I'll ( Read more... )

Few words today.

Pink = still evil. Lilac = a pain in the arse.

This project has me in a headlock. But I trundle on.

Today:

Pink is fighting back. In sneaky, annoying, making-me-hold-too-many-numbers-in-my-head-at-once type ways. Got quite a few stray bits here and there sorted (take that solitary beige interlopers!) and a large chunk of top right grey is holding off the frustrations of bottom left pink.  And I'm quite glad to see his other arm emerging from the chaos.
