Gloria!

It's been a few days since I posted...so thought I would give you a little peek of Gloria that I have been working on.  Prior to working on Gloria this past week, it had been since September 25, 2021 that I have put any stitches in it.  Here are pictures from 2021 and then last night when I put my needle down for the night.  

This was a SAL from Tempting Tangles that I was participating in.  I was keeping up until I hit those little houses on the left.  UGH!  I'm working on white Opalescent, and I've heard the same complaints from others who have worked on Opalescent fabric, it catches on the floss and creates knots more frequently, also you have to work with shorter strands because it kind of chews the floss up.  I love the final effect, but working on it under a bright light drives my eyes crazy...I WILL finish, but sheesh, I wish I could work faster.  Keep your fingers crossed I finish it this year, I would love to enter this one in the State Fair.  So there are 25 pages, and I'm working on page 18.  I have other stuff I should be stitching, we will see how it goes.  I REALLY want to get this off the hoop!!  

I'm off to put some stitches in today.  I've been kinda busy lately, and the next two weeks are going to be a bit nuts as it's Spring break and I'll have my granddaughter here a few extra days a week.  Her personality is beginning to shine and I just love being around her.  So it will be fun,  just crazy busy and NO Stitching...   I hope you are safe wherever you are and healthy.  This tornado outbreak in the south has broken my heart.  They are in my prayers daily.  Take care!
