Today I worked on the Rue Paris Cross Stitch.
My cat also joined me. Loves the string action!

Rue Paris Update
I’ve Been Busy
Finished 3 pages out of 18. It’s looking really nice. Can’t wait for one row to be done.
Other Art
I also started some new drawings.
A New Painting
I am proud of my latest art. I have been trying to focus more on creating art than focusing on overworking myself in my job.

Rue Paris Cross Stitch
Second page out of 18 pages are completed!
It’s been a long time since I worked on my cross stitching.
Update Photos
There’s so much detail and changing of colors. I have been enjoying it.
I will get to work on it more because I’m working from home now. And in between my breaks I can stitch a little.
Happy Day

Second Page Stitching
Rue Paris is coming along. First page has been completed.
Setting up for another page. I’m working the center out.
I’m eager to get more stitching time. My work schedule has been busy. I feel like it’s going to get busier in a few weeks with the stress of the world. I’m still keeping my Saturday and Sunday as my stitching days.
Pray for Ukraine.
Happy Day

Saturday Stitching
Today I worked for a few hours, then went home and took a nap. I have been exhausted. My profession is mental health counseling and I have been busy. Next week even more booked than this week. So having a few hours to stitch has been nice.
Rue Paris Cross Stitch
I have one more column to stitch and the first page will be completed. Definitely have many more to go.
This pattern has tons of color changes. It will certainly keep me busy for a long period of time.
Below is a close up of the many colors for this pattern.
Stay tuned for more updates
Happy Day

Sunday Stitching
Another day relaxing with tea and cross stitching. Can you see the Eiffel Tower in the background?
I’m enjoying this cross stitch.

Sunday Stitching
Rue Paris…
It has been awhile since I had a time to stitch on this cross stitch.
Today, I took many naps, kept my legs elevated and stitched..it was a nice quiet day.
I found out I am diagnosed with Lipedema and may also have Lymphedema. It’s going to be difficult if it progresses. Which sounds like it will. I’ll be going to medical appointments more often. Blogging may be on hold for awhile. Yet again. Chronic pain really bites! This upsets me and I’ll most likely blog about it, once I feel comfortable to write.
It’s causing me to rethink about my job and how much I take on. I’ll need to make a change. I’m thinking of a few options.

Update on My Goal List
I made goals at the beginning of this year. The goal is to complete what was started! Let’s see what has been done. And read the books I have. Plus no additional shopping, use what I have with my arts and crafts.
The Knits
There are 2 knitting projects, one a scarf and the other is a wrap.
The scarf is knitted with seed stitch. The wrap is knitted in hurdle stitch. It has 4 rows which is row one: knit stitch, row two: knit stitch, row three: knit, purl, row four: knit purl
The scarf is getting close to being completed. I may be able to wear this scarf before the winter ends!
Below is purl stitch. Garter stitch is the edge.
The wrap has much more to finish. I just added the other skein of yarn a few days ago. I also have to stop knitting it at a certain length, so I can knit pockets for it. (being a little adventurous)!
Below is close up of hurdle knit stitch.
Books
I am not a fan of reading. I prefer to write, but I know my writing is not professional.
The Bible study is going well, every night I listen to the study and make notes. I have been learning a lot.
The other books-well they make it out of the bin, but then onto a table. I just can’t get myself interested. The goal was to read, not to complete the entire bin. Maybe I have revisit this goal.
I Bent the Rules
I was going to finish another cross stitch before I began Rue Paris. But I just wanted so badly to start it. So I am now focused on Rue Paris. I am ok with that. I think I will alternate between the one I need to finish and Rue Paris.
Below is how much I have accomplished on the stitching. I’ll stitch Rue Paris on Sunday.
Happy Day

Snowy Stitching Sunday
It’s cold and snowy today. It’s a good day to be in PJs, blankets and drink tv with the electric fireplace heating up the room.
I am a big fan of hot tea. A few years ago I purchased a subscription to simple loose tea. I have a lot of packets still. My decluttering goal is to use what I have before I purchase more.
Today was chocolate mint black tea. It’s very good. Definitely a thumbs up.
Rue Paris Progress
Reminder of what it’s going to look like once it is stitched.
I became tired, my hands were getting tight.. it’s time to rest. I also want to watch some YouTube videos of my favorites before I go to bed.
It stopped snowing, but it’s going to start again tomorrow… At least I work from home tomorrow!
Happy Day
