More Flo

Here is my latest progress of Flo. Tonight’s photo is far superior to the one I took the other day and shows the true color of the fabric much better.
I just keep chugging along and have chosen to work some on the “flora” part of the design for a little while. I was getting sort of tired of all the pink in the dress and since there is a big blossom smack-dab in the middle of what is left of her skirt I decided to work my way towards it for now.
I am trying to stitch for at least an hour a day for stress-relief, but I must admit that with just “Fairy Flora” to work on I am starting to get kind of bored. However with only three more days left before I leave for the US I would like to try and get at least get one of the large flowers done before I go.
Hmm… Come to think of it, I do have everything to start my Crazy Cat Lady Exchange piece. It will be a fairly quick stitch, so maybe I will start it tomorrow and alleviate what is becoming the monotony of Flo.
You know, that in and of itself is sort of funny: For the longest time I was convinced that I was a OAAT stitcher, but when I began rotating two years ago I realized that one of the things that was holding me back in my early days was the fact that I got bored so quickly with one project. Now that I have multiple projects going at the same time I seldom get bored. Boy, I can barely wait for the chance to get back to my rotation!

Wow, your fabric is so much like the linen I used for Fairy Flora - and it came out great, so good choice Renee! I also got terribly bored with the pink dress! It was always great to find a flower or berry to work on instead!! I hope you have a safe and pleasant move - and hope the kitties do well with it too!

Your Fairy Flora is coming along great. Have a great time on your trip. I’m a librarian by day, stitcher by night/days off too. Stitching is definitely a great way to destress after a busy day!
