Slow But Sure

Not much stitching got done around here last week, what with the overtime. I put in my mandatory 10 hours, plus another 3-1/2 on Saturday. They are asking us to work more overtime this week -- we still haven't cleared the backlog -- but so far it's not mandatory.

Sunday afternoon I participated in a CROP Hunger Walk; it supports the hunger relief work of Church World Services and 25% of the money we raise comes back to our local food pantry. We raised just over $7500 yesterday, so that means about $1850 coming back to the food pantry!

I did manage a little work on Anna Saturday night.


And this is how the whole thing looks so far:


Once I get past the center wreath, the rest should go pretty quickly.

Have a good week and happy stitching!
