Once Upon a Time

I've been writing about my Once Upon a Time project for a couple of weeks down. I started this back in May 2014. I worked on it straight for six weeks and then sporadically since. 

I lost my stitching bug ( eagerness or willingness to stitch) for a long time...mostly when I was working a retail job and I would come home completely exhausted. So from the end of September until the end of December I hardly picked up my needle. Once Christmas was over and I wasn't constantly running around to work or to spend time with family I picked up my needle again. 

Besides having my loving (and rambunctious) puppy, Sprocket, my needle and thread has kept me sane. It is really hard living so far from Andy right now. I wish I was home in Minnesota. Ok, ok I'm definitely getting sidetracked!! Back to my project. 

I worked on this for 20 hours not being able to put it down. When I did put it down I had finished the castle portion of it. There are more more done on it now. 

The only reason I had put it down was because I had started the rotation schedule. This week I went back to this project for the first time in six weeks! I had a lot of trouble with it this week. I just couldn't get into it and there was a mistake in it that needed to be reverse stitched. 

I worked on it for ten hours and it is being put aside until the next round. If I decide to pick up again before this rotation is complete im ok with that, if not that's ok too. It will get done! I think I'm almost halfway done. Once I've finished the regular stitching I'll have the back stitching (with the dmc floss and kreinik) and beading. 

This is where I leave Once Upon a Time:
