Speak to the Earth progress

I can't believe how quickly time flies past!  I meant to pop back in sooner with my progress update but as we can all see it didn't quite happen.  So I'm here today to share it with you now.  Let's have a look at where I was when we last visited.

Progress as of 7-31-15

Progress as of 9-6-15

Here it is as of last week.  I worked really hard to get this month's assignment done early as I knew I would be going out of town for our anniversary.

I'm really happy we've finally gotten to the section with the animals!  That cow is just so cute.  The snake was a bit tedious with all the color changes but it turned out really neat in the end.  The day I worked on the words was a nice bright sunny one.  I have to be in a special mood and in the right light to be able to do the over one on this high of count.

I decided to do the grass under the cow as far as I could get before I needed to change colors again.  You can just see the outline of the cat's tail between the tree trunk and the cow's back hoof.  Stay tuned, there will be lots more cute critters to come!

I'm contemplating posting about the trip.  There wasn't much stitchy-wise on this one since it was hubby and I.  I did manage to find a shop but I'd visited it before and that's why I wanted to go back.  It's a good one.  They were celebrating their 40th anniversary of business and marriage the same week we were there for ours.  How fun!

Well, I know it's a quickie today.  I hope all is well where you are.  Thank you so much for sticking with me as my posts have unintentionally gotten fewer.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Until next time,

The Inspired Stitcher
