Day 2: Cross stitch progress!

[ladythmpr]

I finished the blue and started the grey (which is a large portion of this piece).



[ID: Partial cross stitch piece, with cross stitch done in blue and gray thread. End ID]

I did change to a different needle than came with the kit; it came with a 22 needle but stitching on 18 count Aida works better with a 26 (what I'm now using) or a 28 needle. Stitching is being a little slow, which I can expect after not doing any for a while, but I'm not feeling frustrated, which is great!

I also mended a shirt and a pair of shorts with some iron-on sheet (not shown), because the puppy has been very bitey on clothing of late. :/ I might do a little embroidery on the mends later.

Sounds like some very practical sewing entering the mix!
