Sunday Funday #5 - Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone! 

I hope everyone had a great day, whether it included religious aspects, egg hunts, both, or just a relaxing weekend day! Unfortunately I spent my Easter working 12 hours but that’s ok because that meant I got to use my downtime to finish up my Easter cross stitch!

“Easter Bunny Gnome with Egg” - CrossStitchFoxy FINISHED!

I’m not sure yet how I will fully finish it but it’s done! He is sooo cute and I’m very happy with how it came out!

Tomorrow my husband and I will be doing our egg hunt with the kids. I’m really excited since it will be the first one the 4 of us will do together. This year, my daughter agreed to me contacting the Easter Bunny and asking if he would make a special stop at our house tomorrow instead so we could all participate! Last year we were all separated and couldn’t celebrate at all: my daughter was sedated in the ICU, I was with her, my husband was stuck in a nearby hotel since he couldn’t be with us thanks to Covid rules at the time, and our son was with my mother-in-law in our home city 2.5 hours away. So this year is extra special! 

Even though they didn’t do anything today, the kids were still spoiled by their grandparents who either sent baskets or dropped some off! They had a good time with those! I loved hearing all about the things they got in their baskets when I got home from work. Then we read some Easter themed books before bedtime and they drifted off to sleep in preparation for the Easter Bunny’s arrival tomorrow!

WIP Wednesday...on Thursday!

It is after 1am and I had every intention of posting earlier but then got extremely distracted with the kids, dinner, a walk, bath time, story time, bed time, dishes, laundry and finally starting my relaxing portion of having to stay up all night to flip myself back to my night shift work schedule for the next 2 nights. Thankfully this is my last week on midnight shift for a while and it's a short week since I have a vacation day on Saturday for my anniversary weekend!

Over the past week I did a little bit more stitching than I expected and also worked on a few new things.

First, I worked on the Olde World Map a tiny bit and I finally finished inside the western hemisphere, like I've been telling myself I would do forever. Other than that, I didn't make any other progress.

Next, I worked on the Game of Throne Houses and finished House Baratheon's banner. I still need to stitch their actual house. I also stitched the yellow portion of the flower in House Tyrell's banner just so I wouldn't have to use the yellow again.

I continued working the Magic Kingdom SAL a little bit as well and started on March's Snow White section. I stitched a good portion of the sky and all the dwarves and Snow White have heads!

I started working on an Easter piece called Easter Gnome. Hopefully he will stitch up quickly! I've got most of his hat done, his beard is outlined, and I started on an ear. I'll be focusing on this heavily this week.

And lastly, I started working on my Crash Bandicoot piece. It's just the outlining of his feet and 1 leg for now since I was actually missing a bunch of the colors I needed for him. I should have all the colors now to keep working on him. 

That's all I've got for now! Happy Stitching!
