Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/WIPWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WIPWednesday</span></a>, and all I have to show for it is a new splodge of mostly dark blue along the bottom here. Haven't had a single second to do any knitting or any other crafts this week so far, ack!</p><p>Today marks the third Wednesday in a row of failing to put a video out, despite staying up until half two in the morning to try and finish it. So this week I put my task list into one of those auto scheduling apps hoping it might have some answers...</p><p>...it turns out I have like 20 hours more work to do in my week than there is literal time, so...er...no wonder I'm stressed. Whoops. Time for a rethink 😅 </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ThreeToedSloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeToedSloth</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/The100DayProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>The100DayProject</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Productivity</span></a></p>
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p>It's another <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/WIPWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WIPWednesday</span></a>, and my big video plans for this week have fallen by the wayside (haven't had much of a voice to record with!) but I did at least remember to take this pic before it got dark so that's a win.</p><p>Continuing with the few stitches every day challenge on my main cross stitch project, and I also finished the second sleeve of this blue cardigan and have made a good start on the front sections.</p><p>The cardigan progress spreadsheet tells me I need to do an unsustainable number of rows per day to get it finished in time...</p><p>...</p><p>...challenge accepted! 😎 </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Knitting</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/TopperCardigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TopperCardigan</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ThreeToedSloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeToedSloth</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/The100DayProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>The100DayProject</span></a></p>
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p>Had to take 3 days off from this project over the weekend, which I know is not supposed to be how <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/The100DayProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>The100DayProject</span></a> works but shush.</p><p>On the "bright" side I've also come down with the lurgy and have no energy for anything else so will spend all of tonight in a blanket burrito just stitching and drinking lemsip.</p><p>Let's assume there's been visible progress since the last pic I posted, since I honestly have no idea.</p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/WIPWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WIPWednesday</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ThreeToedSloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeToedSloth</span></a></p>
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p>I hope you love samey update pics of cross stitch, because that's basically my <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/WIPWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WIPWednesday</span></a> tradition at this point!</p><p>The absurdly energetic folks in my Discord are throwing themselves another 24 hour craft party this week, posting all kinds of impressive updates and finishes, and I'm just managing to pop in every now and then like "hi I did five stitches today and also lost count of my time" 🙃 </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ThreeToedSloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeToedSloth</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/The100DayProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>The100DayProject</span></a></p>
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p>25 days in to my accidentally-started-it-a-bit-early version of <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/The100DayProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>The100DayProject</span></a>. I've not missed a day of stitching yet, which is probably a record for me, although last week had very little time for crafts of any kind so progress was still pretty slow.</p><p>Anyone who was subjected to my Stitch With Me video a couple weeks back will be glad to see I've got myself under control and at least briefly returned to working tidy 20x20 blocks.</p><p>Also there is technically a tiny part of the sloth in there now! Although it's so tiny you would never know, so let's save the excitement til he comes a bit more into view 😁 </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/crossstitch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>crossstitch</span></a></span> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ThreeToedSloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeToedSloth</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/UnconventionalXstitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnconventionalXstitch</span></a></p>
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p>I've made the frankly amazing scientific discovery that if you put a few stitches in every single day, progress soon adds up 🤯 </p><p>Set myself a 100 day challenge, made a stitch count spreadsheet, and went on my way, only to find a few days later everyone started <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/The100DayProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>The100DayProject</span></a> which is basically the same thing!</p><p>So I consider myself unofficially joining in with that, and also ahead of the curve 😎 </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ThreeToedSloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeToedSloth</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/UnconventionalXstitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnconventionalXstitch</span></a></p>
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/WIPWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WIPWednesday</span></a>, and I'm five days into a streak of putting a few stitches into this one every day!</p><p>Place your bets on how long you reckon I'll keep this up.</p><p>Pattern is Three Toed Sloth from Unconventional Xstitch, art by Aja Trier, and it is fabulous. </p><p><a href="https://www.unconventionalxstitch.com/three-toed-sloth-cross-stitch-pattern/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">unconventionalxstitch.com/thre</span><span class="invisible">e-toed-sloth-cross-stitch-pattern/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ThreeToedSloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeToedSloth</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/UnconventionalXstitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnconventionalXstitch</span></a></p>
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher<p>I finally bought the colours that were missing from this project, but instead of going back and filling in the gaps like a sensible person I guess my mood this weekend is more "cross country all the things" 😅 </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/UnconventionalXstitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnconventionalXstitch</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ThreeToedSloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeToedSloth</span></a></p>
