And now that I'm back, my craft time at home is limited mostly to weekends again. The lighting at night isn't quite good enough for cross stitching the mermaid in the evenings. I try to work on some of my other projects, but I've been known to fall asleep in the middle of knitting a row!
The quilt is coming along. I haven't cut the sashing pieces yet, but I have cut out more feature fabrics. Here's a quick look at them:
As for the mermaid, I am working on the metallic sections of her upper tail and back fin. The metallic is slow stitching and a little frustrating because it's so thick. I've double-checked to make sure that I'm using the thickness called for by the pattern and the right fabric thread-count. It's just a P.I.T.A.
