Last weekend I went away for a long weekend with the parents, my brother, his girlfriend and their son - my lovely little 3-year old nephew. We went to Somerset in the South West of England and had a very relaxing few days. I did a little stitching which I'll show you soon.
But today is update date. I missed the last update 3 weeks ago as I hadn't stitched on this piece at all. I was going to miss this update too but gave myself a good talking too and finally settled down on Friday and Saturday night to make some progress. Here is where I was:
And here is where I am now. Just a bit added to the leg/coat of the male dancer.
It doesn't look much but there is at least 3 hours stitching there, probably more. Now this piece is back on my stitching stand I should make some more progress... unless I get side tracked by my embroidery piece again... must show you that too!
You can go and see what the other participants have been up to here:

This is such a gorgeous design....keep going, it's looking wonderful!
Great progress!
it's coming along ^^
this is coming along well, it is going to be a lovely piece when completed. Good to read you have had a good time with a family break Somerset is a nice place to visit
Any progress is good progress in my book :)
Counted cross stitch is one of those techniques which can be very quick, or terribly slow, depending on the style of the design. Since this one is based on a watercolour painting, I guess it's of the "terribly slow" variety. But just think how pleased with yourself you will be when you finish it!
A journey of a million cross-stitches begins with ... well ... one stitch :D Just keep plugging away at it and before you know it, they'll have legs, which will make them better dancers! ;)
It's looking great. You must have so much patience to work on that :-) x
glad you had a good time away, did your nephew get his book, or is that waiting for a special occasion?
Beautiful progress! :D
