Winnie the Pooh February

I have lost a good bit of enthusiasm for this project, but I am determined to finish it, so I made it my first focus piece in February.  Previous progress:

2000 stitches later:
I had intended to spend more time this month, since it's for my son and February is his birthday month.  But I got my 2000 stitches, skipping around the small petit point section (Roo in Kanga's pouch), and I was over it.  Perhaps it's all the brown (the dirt path, the tree trunk, etc), not my fave.  Oh well, I digress.  Better luck next month, I will start with backstitching and see if that sparks my mojo.

  1. This one is getting so close to a finish. It looks fantastic. I hope your plan of back stitching first next month helps rekindle your motivation. I love seeing your updates!

  2. The upper half does look like it was more fun with all the pretty trees and sky, but you're so close now and it looks great - you can do it!

    1. Thanks Leonore, I appreciate the support. I will just stick with my plan, 2000 stitches / month until it's done, it's looking like May, but maybe April if I'm lucky.

  4. You are getting so close, you'll have this one done before you know it. 2000 stitches a month is a good goal.
