I've been terribly absent and only checking in every now and then. This year has just been so damned hard for so many reasons it's all I can do to just keep my head above water and not push myself. I did manage to finally get five of my old cross stitches framed and they're now hanging proudly around the new house. I've also dabbled with my old hama beads and done a few cards here and there, and made a spice rack from a DIY kit (still to be varnished). I upcycled a couple of side tables my old home owner left me and gave them woodgrain wallpaper tops so they match in better with everything else. The house throws up all kinds of odd little projects so I just tackle them when I feel up to it. I started a little cross stitch bookmark kit whilst I'm waiting for my next kit to arrive. The next one will probably take me a few years to complete - it's huge 36" x 41"- but will hopefully look nice in the main living room. (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32867035210.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.0.0.3482f19ceGrArq)
Hope everyone else is doing okay (or at least better than me!)
