Beads, Beads, and more Beads will it ever end?

Hello to all,

How was your Christmas and did you get any stitching done? Our Christmas was great and no I didn't get a whole lot of stitching done. I stitched here and there on Spiritdancer.

Here is my latest update...

Before:

After:

I am determined to get this done. It's really hard as I want to get back to Abigail Bragdon 1832 reproduction Sampler by The Scarlet Letter. I started a tiny bit on December 13th. The section calls for me to stitch these letters over 1. I am stitching this on 32 count Belfast Summer Khaki linen. I have never stitched anything over 1. I have been to afraid and said "I will never stitch over 1 if I don't have to." You would think I would have learned this when I said I would never stitch on anything other than 18 count aida fabric. The saying is true never say never at least in my case.

Here is what I have:

I know it's not much but it is a start and this is what keeps me motivated to get Spiritdancer done.

I won't have another update until after the New Year. I want to wish everyone a safe, healthy and a wonderful NEW YEAR!

Hugs, Carolyn
