Apologies for the radio silence–things have been a little nutty here, so I haven’t had much time to blog. I will be better in the future, I promise!

I have, however, had time to craft. I’ve been plugging away at my cross stitch and have finally escaped from the endless swath of blue.

I thought I’d be thrilled–no more blue! No more long runs of the same color! But now I find myself changing colors every three or four stitches while working the cherry blossoms. It’s beautiful, but tedious. And I don’t even want to talk about how bad the back looks. (How do people make the back of their work look so good!? I’m horrible at that!)

But–I’m over halfway done now, and I can’t wait to have a finished piece.
