Working away on Moonlit Castle by Charting Creations, my goal is to get to 50% complete this year. Slow and steady wins the cross stitching race, especially with confetti heavy architecture. #CrossStitching

🌱Weather has abruptly become milder and my crocuses have opened in spite of the gloomy clouds. Definitely a cheery sight this morning and worth chasing the squirrels away from them all winter

Beautiful! I did look up and it was so bright in between the clouds.
I also have a cross stitch wolf moon by the Little Stitcher on Etsy, she did a series of 13 Full Moons

First cross stitch finish of the New Year. Modern Forest series by Vivster on Etsy. The pattern is lovely to stitch and I like these more muted colours to represent Summer rather than the brighter version.

Really cold again in Scotland and the small wildlife pond is frozen over. Fortunately it's a new pond without any occupants yet and the birds have additional small defrosted bird baths and refilled feeders so it's all good. 🌱
