I quickly put in the two brown birdies for #motifaweek so I can get to my new start after dinner! 🐦⬛🐦⬛

I haven't shown you And A Forest Grew in a while but I have indeed been diligently putting in my #motifaweek every week (plus a little bit more).
Today I put in the first few trees on the top of THE VERY LAST PAGE!

I caught up on my #motifaweek project this evening with @wendyb616.bsky.social and @jensfiberweb.bsky.social keeping me company. This is my first page finish on And a Forest Grew 🌳 🌲 🌳

I finished my #motifaweek goal yesterday—it looks like such a tiny amount of progress, but these 3 little motifs are about 300 stitches. I’m just glad I got through them without any miscounts this week 😂

Finished the orange (🍊?) tree today against all odds. Definitely ended up frogging the nest at least once. But we’re back on track and I just have to remember not to count anything else off this tree 😅 Aren’t those baby birds the cutest? 😍😍

Worked on my #motifaweek project tonight, but this tree is large and so I’ll finish tomorrow. I picked up a cold 🤧and I’m a little out of it—so I definitely miscounted a few times and will need to finesse things. Nature isn’t perfect, so I’m not worried about it

Since I recently had a finish, I’m down to two WIPs. One is my #motifaweek piece and the other is Forest Home. So I’m ready to focus on this old friend for a while 🌳🌲💚 My plan is to stitch on this almost monogamously until #LifeOfPiSAL starts on 3/14

Update on #motifaweek for this week
Surprise: I finished another page on And a Forest Grew by Rosewood Manor yesterday!
#motifaweek
I'm stitching this 1 over 1 on Zweigart linen with the called-for DMCs and Anchor flosses.
Caught up on January #motifaweek tonight. Grateful to Elizabeth from the Thread Gremlins for talking up the single strand front loop start—I took the time to learn it and it really helped me get more comfortable starting motifs.

The same cross stitch work in progress zoomed all the way out. There are a lot more trees and animals
I had a very unexpected finish on page 7 of And a Forest Grew by Rosewood Manor for #motifaweek. Only two and a half pages to go now!
Look, @mamag75.bsky.social !
I feel like I’m being overly precious with this piece, which makes it very slow going. I hope I get more comfortable with it over time
