I’m a little late today posting this because I really wanted to have a finished Fox section. And it is finished so I can now move on to gridding for the Swans. 
That’s a big woohoo and yippee for me!! I’ll keep this short and sweet and link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching and then get right into that gridding process.
Mr Fox this past week got his full body and 2/3rds of his tail. 
I should be able this week to make good time and get his tail finished and then the last couple of trees. Who knows, I might even get a start on doing the grids for the swans section. I discovered that I’m running low on the white thread that I will need to finish the swans, so I decided to go ahead and order that, plus the linen for the next 3 critters to be stitched. And then since I was on a roll ...
I’m a day late posting my weekly slow stitching report. I have a good reason for it, though. I was digging around looking for an old abandoned project from 2016. It’s a McKenna Ryan design called Aurora Ridge. Back in 2016 I bought the patterns and the fabric kits to make the blocks and started on making them right away. But then as often happens, other things interceded and the project got packed way and, if not forgotten, then certainly out of sight and out of mind. Fast forward to this year and it has pushed its way ...
read more Mr. Fox is starting to show his personality as this stitchery continues to progress. 
According to my calculations, he is 50% finished. There are 130 squares in the grid and I’ve counted almost 65 squares as finished. I’m thinking that, if I want to start the next set of 3 critters after I finish this, I’ll need to order the supplies when I start the swans. If all goes as quickly as it has so far, that should be in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
I’ll link up now to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching ...
read more I’ve spent lots of time this past week on my Fox for the A Year in the Woods series. I love his face and the emerging texture in his body. 
I think it is these details that pulled me into these stitcheries. And so far it looks as though the elements were designed to fit beside each other as it comes together. I’ll get a bit further and then perhaps next week take a picture of the fox and reindeer together. In the meantime, I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching
Last week, after I finished gridding the area of my linen for The Fox, I got straight away into stitching the fox and his surroundings. 
The little cabin is almost done and the Fox itself is started. I love the texture in his tail and am looking forward to starting that section. It’s a damp and rainy weekend, so after I post this to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching, I’m going to find something to watch/listen to and then do a lot more stitching.
