Evening all π
How are you all? I’m not having a bad week but I do wish this weather would make up its mind. I thought it was getting warmer over the weekend but its gone cold again and I don’t like it. xD
Of course the cold weather keeps me indoors where I can work on my project so I guess its a blessing in disguise. So last week I showed you guys I had finished the cocktail stitch and Cookie Bear himself and I was hoping to show you guys the cocktail as a card this week but sadly I haven’t had time to make it yet. However, I can show you guys how much more I have work on Cookie Bear and the little baby elephant I have started to work on while at work. π
Cookie Bear is coming along nicely as you can see. π The ribbon is all done and I’m half way through one of the two presents and the shadowing. I can’t believe how much I’ve managed to do since last week, I’ve made sure I did a bit each night and its made a lot of difference. π Getting quite excited how close I am to finishing the full stitch section of him as I have been working on this project for over a year now!
With the baby elephant I noticed today at work I went a little bit wrong so I had to unpick his legs but its all sorted now, just hoping I don’t go wrong again. I just need to finish the shadow and stitch the back of the adult elephant, add the backstitching and then he’s all finished!
Hope you all have a good remainder of the week. π

I am loving how your progress is turning out on both of your pieces. Keep up the great work and I hope you have more time this week to craft. πβ€

Thank you π it’s amazing what just ten minutes can do while I’m at work. Got a little surprise to blog about later. π Tomorrow I’m planning on having a baking afternoon so if that all goes well then I’ll post some pictures and then Sunday I think will be a writing and making candles day. π

These are lovely. I really like how just picking up a colour and doing one strand makes such a difference in cross stitch
