A Bit Random

So it's been 5 weeks. Returning to work has been quite an adjustment, especially where my stamina is concerned. My first week back, I was all but useless after work, and my first foray into overtime required naps afterward. But things are getting back to normal-ish, with only a few bumps here and there.

I haven't been stitching much, but I've still managed to stitch almost every day. However, my rotation is pretty much random as it seems picking up something I'm not feeling results in a loss of my stitchy bug. Kind of worrisome, since that hasn't happened in a long while, but I haven't lost it yet.

So here's some of my random selections. First, I was inspired by the Bingo event in Full Coverage Fanatics on Facebook to pick up Scale, which I unfortunately hadn't touched in two years. I moved her from a scroll frame to qsnaps, so I can treat you with the full image of where she was before and a close up of where she is now:

Overall, I didn't get very much done on her, but I'm very happy to have worked on her again. I love working with all those vivid colors.

Next, I couldn't get Jim Shore's 12 Days of Christmas out of my head, so I made a start on 6 Geese a-Laying:

It feels like I barely made a dent in this block, but at least I managed to get the nest of leaves done, which is probably the most stitch intensive part of this block. I'm looking forward to the checkered egg, though there's still a bit of confetti there. Hopefully I can finish up this block in December.

I haven't stitched on Elizabeth Oliver since June, but I love this wip and I'm making some good progress on the house:

Hopefully next time I show her, the house will be done. It's really going pretty quickly. If I can just carve out a little more time to stitch.

I think that's all for now. I've been stitching here and there on several other pieces, but I'll show them once I get a bit more progress in. Hope you all are doing well and staying sane in these crazy times. Happy stitching!
