Turning a Corner

 I made it across the top of Daily Reminder and turned down the other side, then did a little plain old cross stitch. 

I wanted to get to the point where I could stitch some flowers, and I'm almost there.

I wasted spent some time online looking for dark green linen that hasn't been overdyed, but didn't find anything that I thought would work or arrive in time for this to be a blessing sampler.  So . . . . I have tightened up the frame and re-tighten every hour or so, and that is helping.

It also helped when a stitching buddy dm'd and made a good point--if I persevere through the struggles with this linen and get it finished by the end of January, I will definitely deserve any blessings on my stitching for the rest of the year.

I believe I will cling to that hope--and it will be motivation to finish the sampler.

However, tomorrow I think I may do some goldwork. I have my last class on the Elizabethan Rose in less than two weeks, and I have a lot of homework to do. Actually, I have a lot of things I want to do, so I'd best keep on keeping on.
