Starry Night Stitch-a-Long, part 9

Hi everyone! Time is so strange. Maybe it's because I'm feeling so stuck between the seemingly endless job applications and interviews and not moving forward. But I have been stitching. 

There's a secret project that I can't reveal until after a special date has passed, but I'm also just slooowwwwlllyy chipping away at my big Starry Night piece. 

Last time I had gotten here: 


And here's where I am now: 


By our next check in I'll have the next little column done. And three weeks after that I'll be 25% done! So satisfying to have the accountability of this fine group of very creative people to keep me moving -- at least on my crafts -- when I have felt so stuck. 

I'll post again on this project in three weeks. Until then, join me and check out what my fellow stitchers -- Avis, Claire, Kathy, Margaret, Megan, Deborah, Daisy, Cathie, Linda, Mary Margaret, Helen, and Cindy -- have been up to. And I'd like to say a special farewell to Sharon, who is stepping back from the group while she prepares to move across the country. You are always welcome here -- and I hope you won't mind if I check in on your blog. Sending you lots of hugs from Seattle.

    I look forward to seeing the mystery stitchery. In the meantime I am enjoying watching your progress on Starry Night. Hoping you find a position soon.

      Thanks Cathie! I just had another interview this morning, so I'm hoping that will keep moving forward. I also finished and mounted the mystery stitchery, so I'll be able to share it relatively soon!

    Pleased to know we're keeping you motivated with this piece ^^ But sorry to hear the job seeking hasn't been successful.

      Thanks Claire -- job seeking is so soul destroying, but I'm just trying to keep my spirits up. I'm also enjoying stitching in the evenings, and this piece has been a great project to keep chipping away at!

    Fingers crossed that the job hunting is sorted out soon. I'm enjoying the slow reveal of the starry night column by column.

      Thanks Avis -- I really enjoy breaking up the project by columns -- it's less overwhelming, and makes sure I keep working on other things so I don't get bored.
