I am sharing the progress on my Prairie Schooler Alphabet cross stitch. I am almost half way there. There are 27 blocks in total and I have completed approximately 13. This has become a focus piece for me. I am trying to stitch on it every day for 1-2 hours.
I completed L is for Leaves about 3 weeks ago. As you may remember, I have already stitched this letter individually finishing it in January 2014. The link to it is here. This block looks completely different stitched on the natural linen background.

Since finishing the letter "L", I have half finished M is for Mermaid and started N is for Nest. I haven't stitched the mermaid yet as I want to make some modifications to her face/body which I need thinking time for. So I started "N" and will come back to the mermaid soon. N is for Nest is so sweet with the 4x little chicks in the nest.

So here is a photo of the whole project:

It's the sixth anniversary of my blog on March 9th 2009!!! Here is my very first blog post if you are interested. I was very into quilting at the time so the blog was focussed around that for the first year or so. I fell in the beautiful cross stitch blog community and I haven't looked back. Sure there might be mountains of quilting UFOs in my cupboard but I am so happy with my cross stitching. I am so proud my blog is still going after 6 years. There have been ebbs and flows in the number of posts from time to time but I always come back to it. My blog is my diary of my crafting life with a little of everyday life thrown in.
My youngest has turned five! Boy did those years fly since he thrust himself into our lives at 29 weeks. He is a precious boy who has brought joy, fun and laughter into our lives.
