A new start!

So! The majority vote was for me to make a new start. So! I did! This is one my daughter asked me for months ago. She LOVES cats, and I had this book of cat patterns out because I was going through my stash trying to find something, and she saw it and asked me if I'd do this one for her. When completed it will look like this:

It's a really cute pattern. It's only 2 pages long. So I thought "this won't take long at all! I can stitch a cat each day and then finish the bottom row "cats cats cats" and be done in about 10 days....riiiiight. Best laid plans and all that.... Here's where I am:

In all honesty I really haven't put that much time in on it. Life has just been busy lately. We've been having some bad storms that had knocked out power for long stretches of time, that totally flooded our backyard making us fear that the water may get into our house. And then the lack of sleep when a storm rolls through every hour or so and wakes you up. There's just been a whole bunch of life things that seemed to get in the way of getting some solid stitching time in this past week. I would really love to have a page finish on this by months end, so that I can pull out my HAED piece and work on it starting next month. So... Wish me luck. Today is the last day of school so my large chunks of stitchy time will go bye bye for a bit... But hoping to still be able to make some good progress on my projects despite that. 

Thank you for reading and for leaving comments!! Joyful stitching!
