I got tired of trying to make progress on all my big projects... and they're ALL big projects at this point. Sure, I'd make visible progress, but it seemed like such a little bit when compared to the grand scale of the whole project.
So I said THAT'S IT, I'm starting something small!
I finished it too. ;)
Here's Wild Violets by the Sweetheart Tree. I started on Friday night and finished before bed on Saturday, so this was less than 24 hours start to finish... and those 24 hours included a lot of sleeping and errands too!
What really kills me is that the chart photos and even the STree website have AWFUL pictures of every single design. Why have a promo pic for your work that's only 300 pixels wide, and that 300 pixels includes the decorative junk surrounding the finished object? If I didn't know how nice these looked stitched up, I'd dismiss STree designs as crap. That's just sad. :(
So... as a reward for finishing, I'm starting another tiny STree design! It's a kit called By The Sea Sampler, and it's a teeny band sampler with all sorts of ocean motifs. I wonder how far I can get today...
Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love our finish - so very much, I went to the website, but did not find a CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE button --
ReplyDeleteWow that looks so great for such a quick cross stitch! Congrats on your finish. I know what you mean about how overwhelming some of our projects can be. I like your idea of any finish is an achievement not matter how big or small. You are so Right!!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the website, which is probably a good thing LOL!

I remember when I first started stitching again and something like this would have taken me forever! It's amazing how quickly it worked up.

ReplyDeleteGreat finish! Small designs are so satisfying, and a great way to take a break while still stitching.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! Maybe you should send them your picture so they can use it!
ReplyDeleteI love that design, it's great having small finishes! Your photo really show the beautiful stitching and does a real credit to the designer. I would send a photo to the designer, I'm sure they would love to see your work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others! Your photo of your beautiful stitching would certainly help them with sales! LOL. The colors are so pretty.
