Tried my hand at dyeing my own Aida. It’s not perfect, but I’m pleased with it regardless and found it fitting for this little pattern I found.

And the last UK house SAL has been completed. Canterbury. One of our first road trips in England took us to canterbury on our way to Dover. I have really enjoyed this SAL and I’m sad that it’s over. Cheers.

Just finished my frame. I’m so excited for October! And that butternut dyed Aida. Swoon!! @catzmeow.bsky.social

Only one more uk house to stitch.

Mail call!! So excited for this SAL @witchsgarden.bsky.social

An another home finished. Two more to go and that wraps up the 2023 Stich across the Uk cross stitcher magazine had put out. I know I’m super behind, but I’ve loved stitching these and missing our old lives in East Anglia.

Tobermory was next up in the cross stitch across the UK. Glad to be getting through these. Hoping for finish of the rest of the houses in the next month or two so I can get started on Halloween stitching.

Next cross stitch across the UK brought us to York. It was my favorite city in England. Really loved visiting it. Stitching it though? Yeeeeesh. But it’s done!!

Current events got my anxiety high. So I’m thankful I brought this with me on our trip. Another one down. This was a fun one to do.

Pushing through on my cross stitch across the UK from 2023. I’m caught up on the months (this is July) however this is 2 years delayed, so I’m just gonna keep pushing and hopefully by October I won’t be stitching homes in the UK anymore. Gotta say, not in love with this month’s house.

The may reads. I definitely didn’t find myself reading a lot this month.

Getting through my stitch across the Uk from 2023’s cross stitcher magazine. This one was one of my favorites in the series. Whilst driving to Bury St Edmunds from Mildenhall I would see a few thatched roof cottages and would swoon. This brought back that memory.

Trucking through my stitch across the UK from my cross stitcher magazines from 2023. I never got to visit Glastonbury, and it was deffo a bucket list item to visit the Tor. Perhaps another road trip is necessary!

Cross Stitcher magazine’s 2023 stitch along continues. I am a bit behind 🤣 but now Ive just finished Cardiff. The twins commented how it looks like our home when we lived in East Anglia.

In an effort to consume less I’ve started to mend my clothes. I’m getting better at darning my socks.

Spring is on the way!! My country is falling apart, but right now, the daffodils are blooming in the pot outside my door.

This weekend’s finish. I’m very slow at the x stitch, so am catching up on patterns from spring 2023. I miss the UK so much. How are you all managing your anxiety with the current status of affairs? Man it’s hard to be positive as an American right now.

We have hit the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It was such a sunny beautiful day here!! Ready for spring and summer! Oh and the snowdrops are still pushing through.
