I haven’t had as much time to stitch as I would have
preferred. The weather has been remarkably pleasant for this time of year, and
I felt the need to be outdoors and soak it all in before the inevitable winter
chill returns, as it often does here in western Canada. However, I did manage
to re-stitch the section of the gown that I had to take out. The umbrella is
now finished, and I've begun working on one of the poppies. I’m hopeful that I
will see more of the flowers next week.

I was able to dedicate around eighteen hours to stitching
this week. There's still more work to do on the skirt, but I am confident it
will turn out beautifully once completed. The poppies are gradually starting to
bloom, and I can envision them dancing in the soft spring breeze. With the
first day of spring approaching next week, I am optimistic that the poppies
will be in full bloom by then. SPRING – truly a delightful time of year.

Stitching and unstitching my work has occupied my time this
week. My counting appears to be off, particularly with the poppies on the left
side. I will need to take out some of the stitches. I’m hopeful that I will
make more progress next week.
Monday, March 22 - Sunday, March 28
I have gotten back on track with my counting and resumed my
stitching project. I successfully added stems to the poppies using a simple
stem stitch, and I also completed the backstitching on the umbrella.
Occasionally, I do the backstitching as I progress. To stay organized, I
meticulously mark my chart to indicate where I left off with the backstitching.
