Sew Dance

I officially have 9 rows left on the page. This will be done by next week. Also saw Clyde, he was being cheeky lying on top of the file cabinet when I came in. And while I may have managed to not buy anything during the HAED sale, I wasn't so lucky with ads from Herrschners... and Mary Maxim. I finally got a coupon that worked on the afghan, but then I started poking around the site, saw the stackers, caved on the rest of my snowman family, and got all the doilies I had been eyeing for a few years.   I need to get a move on with the crafting. Or win the lottery and stay home to work on all of them...

71/98 rows done. I initially was wondering what the red-ish colors on the far right were, then I realized it was her ear. Also, I think I went a bit overboard with Christmas ornament kits. Many of the santas were backordered so those are still on the way... I think I can decorate my entire tree in cross stitch. May take November to work on these rather than my rotation.

So I've passed the half way point of the page. 56/98 rows finished. Unfortunately I also caved to the Christmas in July sales. I have many more ornament kits on the way... But in lieu of those items, here's Clyde. It took 6 months, but he finally likes the bed we got him. Although being a cat, he still likes boxes.

I didn't get as much done as I would've liked. Dead tired Friday, spent Saturday making 2 scarves for my mom, and my "weekend" was filled with doctor's visits... So only up to 44 rows. During a visit to my parent's, sat on my old bed (which Clyde has claimed as his) and didn't quite know what to make of me being in that location in the house. Last photo was taken after we put him on the bed. Although he's finally taken to his bed about 6 months after we got it for him. Silly kitty.

That's a lot of three's. Got some more stash. I swear this should be the last of it for a while. (Must resist HAED sale...) The majority of the cross stitch was because I was ordering from Sew and So and had the need to make shipping worthwhile.  Saw Clyde yesterday. These two photos were taken seconds apart. (Mom was getting his attention for me) And had some visitors. Mom and 5 babies (2 were under the porch at the time of photo)

Almost 20 rows completed on page 3 of this. This is one of those pieces that your so on top of, it takes a photo to realize something appeared. So I went to another Yankee game yesterday, didn't get burnt this time, but I'm still slightly red from Memorial Day. By the way, the two guys on the left are 5'11" and 6'2". Aaron Judge (#99) is a very large human being who will make me feel tiny if I ever meet him. (I'm 5'10" for reference) And here's Clyde looking cute. He somehow found a hole in the pillows to have his own little fort.

So my fit issues with crochet items I want to wear continues. Initially went with a larger size due to pattern 'bust size'. My gauge was a little larger than required, but figured it would give me a bit more room to possibly wear a bra under it. Nope. turned out way too big. Kept hook and went down a size. The band fits better but now I'm worried about coverage. I know there's a border, but still worried. So, taking a break while I figure out if I keep going or modify the top. So back to Alternative Reality.
