Oh my gosh I didn’t even tell you that I finished the bamboo cross stitch!! 4 years and 193 hours later we’ve completed it and it measures in at 2 foot long!

It’s been ages since I posted an update on the bamboo cross stitch, but I’m getting close (ish) to halfway through it! I did a solid 5 hours work today and accomplished more than I thought I would. I’m getting on with it a lot quicker now that I have space to do it and the house isn’t constantly filled with dust from having the kitchen done 😅

I’m aiming to complete the final pod on the left in my next session, then I can roll the fabric again and start working on the bottom portion of this section

Bamboo update! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to do this because we’ve been doing the kitchen and it’s been really dusty but I’ve finally got it out again! I’m really pleased that I’ve managed to do so much, but especially that I’ve finished the first pod! This is such a big piece that it feels like I’ve achieved something already by finishing a component

I’ve started a new cross stitch project today and I’m dead excited! It’s my first big project (24 inches long!!) and my first using a frame and merging colours so I’m really enjoying the new challenges. It’s going to be some bamboo and I can’t wait to have the finished project on my wall 🎋

Bamboo update! I’ve put in a few hours this weekend and I feel like you can tell!! I did a lot of the fiddly single stitch rows on the far left and started filling in the second colour on the leaf. I’m not even a quarter of the way through it yet and I’ve already put in nearly 50 hours of work! Next step is filling in the light blue in the centre stalk
