Slow stitching Sunday

The time has arrived.
 
No more 9-5. No deadlines.
No appointments.
 
I am a stay home woman again!
 
A new chapter in my life.
 
And going with that new chapter,
I am trying to be better organized
in my sewing/knitting/handiwork.
I organized my studio and found
4 cross stitch projects that are
way over due to be finished.
 
I am starting with the oldest
project: Fish wall hanging.

 
I was raised near the ocean and
 love ocean-beach themed décor.
This one is destined
for the bathroom wall.

Oh what an adorable stitchery! Congrats on being stay-at-home; don't be surprised how quickly that time fills in!! After we both retired, my DH and i wondered how we'd have the TIME to work!! LOL hugs, Julierose (P.S. I HAVE to learn how to do counted cross stitch--they have such cute patterns--allI've done is stamped x-stitch, crewel and needlepoint

I agree, take care to guard your time or it will fill very quickly! (Ask me how I know....) That's a very cute cross stitch. I'm trying to finish one of my long time x-stitch projects, too. Haven't been doing too well of late and must get back to it. Somehow my knitting projects creep to the fore.

I'm dreaming of retirement in a couple of years. Enjoy yours. Cross stitch looks like a good start.
