SAL Update – Bee #14

Not only is the bee my portable project, it’s also the one I can work on while watching TV. So, thanks to the recent European Championships, which happened right here in Munich, but which I still mostly watched via the excellent TV coverage, there’s quite a bit of progress to show today!

Here’s the state from the last update:

In-progress cross-stitch picture of a bee. Head, right feeler and front leg are visible on the lower left, followed by the upper outline of the right wing towards the right. Above that, a background of honeycomb in yellows and oranges. Towards the top, a small blue flower with five petals. In progress on the upper right is a bit of orange background, getting denser towards the outline of a flower below.

That orange blog looks much more solid today:

More travel time coming up, so I hope to be able to make some more progress!

One craft that I can’t work on in a car is cross-stitch. I like the progress that you have made.

That is moving along nicely. I used to stitch in the car too, it’s a great way to make the miles go quickly!

You’re making wonderful progress! I always try to have a travel/simple piece on the go at all times- sometimes you just can’t count:)

The colors on this are gorgeous — and I’m so jealous that you can stitch in a car! Excellent progress!

- I’m not stitching in a car … more in a hotel room, assuming good enough light, which isn’t a given.
