Made a couple of spreadsheets for cross stitch projects and sewing projects with an eye towards clearing out my backlog, then ran out of steam.
Reprioritized my cross stitch queue slightly and have started the next project from the Cross Stitch In The Forest book. Have I learned my lesson about dark Aida, many similar shades of one colour, and fractional stitches? No. Have I learned to check HOW MUCH of each shade I'll need when using threads from my stash? Also no.
I also got out one of the backlog WIPs, and as a bonus found the missing Permin kit. I guess these were meant to be my travel pieces when we moved... over 2 years ago... le sigh.
I've been feeling very depressed and stuck and don't want to do anything. Today is the first weekend day when it MAY ACTUALLY NOT RAIN and I'm going on a group hike even though I kind of want to cancel.
