finshed

I have officially finished my project. It was a struggle to get it done. I don't wanna post any pictures yet. I am going to do one more blog after I get my presentation done. I am very thankful that we had to do this project or I probably would have never started that. It has been hard to get it done now that I have 2 jobs again. I actually did it at work when we were not busy. I am happy it is over but now I am on a mission to find a black background and not white. I am glad we all got it donw.

feeling sick

This week I have not felt good at all. I have been getting headaches and Migraines I do not know why I have gotten so many this week it is crazy. It has been very hard to work on any school work this week. The lights hurt my head really bad and it feels like a hammer is hitting my head 24/7. I have mostly been sleeping to try and help my pain. I have taken meds but today is not a very bad day. So I am able to get all my homework done today. I have to start grinding on the project which I plan on doing. I am just struggling to get motived now that I am not in school and just at home.

Distractions

This week was a very interesting week. I planned on working on my project every day but in reality, I have facetimed people and slept. I have been very tired here lately my sleep schedule is ruined. I have baked some treats too. I am honestly at the point where I really only do what is do that day and I am trying to break that. I have so much free time on my hands that I really should be working on it. I spent a day watching the show tiger king on Netflix it was really good. My phone is a major distraction and I need to get off of it. I honestly spend 8 hours on tik tok a day. Crazy stuff man. I am honestly so exhausted from doing nothing I wanna go do stuff. I will start to work on my project and get it done. The white is just killing my head.

Spring break was a bust

So over spring break, I was up in Topeka visiting my sister and my nephew. I planned on working on my project but I ended up having to teach my nephew his schooling while I was there and I also found a lot of new food to try and cook so I did that too. Pinterest was my friend and a curse. I am almost done with all the white it is taking me forever because it hurts my head. I am not liking staying at home right now because of this COVID-19 stuff.  I am ready to see my friends. I face timed my aunt and crossitiched with her for a bit.

Not just black and white

So I have not been able to work on this project has much has I would have liked too in the last couple of weeks because of it getting to the end of the basketball season. I was making basketball more a priority since it was my last season ever. My season ended so now I should have a lot more time to work on it. I have had some progress on it. I finished the outline and I am now adding color to it. I don't mind the pink and the blue I will be adding on it but doing the white is really tough since my canvas is white and the string is white it is very hard to do. I couldn't get the white started so I had to get help from my teacher. You can barely see the white but I have only done a little bit of it. I will be trying to finish this over spring break. 

sick week

This week I have been sick with some nasty stuff. My sickness got to my lungs and I almost got pneumonia. I was sleeping all week so I really didn't work on the project. I plan on grinding on it this weekend. My goal is to get to of these projects done in the few weeks. I know that I will be getting my hello kitty project done in the next week or two. I'm going to start on a snowman after I get done with this and give it to my grandma for easter. 

Crazy week

This week I was barely able to work on my hello kitty project. I almost got the whole outline finished. Some crazy things happened this week. I have a 3 game week so my time is taken away by basketball, homework, and work. I plan on starting the color part this weekend sometime. I knew trying to find time was going to be hard. I worked on it some on the bus rides to games but it is very hard to do on a bumpy bus. I ran into this lady that was working on a project of her own and man was it good. The back looked just as good as the front did. I hope that mine will turn out like that someday. I asked her how long she has been doing this for and she said 20 years. I plan on making a lot more progress this coming week.

Starting process...HELP

The first picture I am cross-stitching is one of hello kitty. It's a little hard getting the thread to work for me but once I get it in I find the process very relaxing. It is a good stress reliever for me. I have no clue what I am doing. I look at the back of my pattern and the whole back is different. It kinda is stressing me out some that I can not do this right. Finding time to do this is a little hard too. So I picked this design out because it seemed fairly simple and I need simple. Starting it off was very hard. I couldn't figure out what I was doing and how people do this. I was very frustrated at first, but then I started to figure it out and it was great. I think for my first time it does not look to bad. The back of the pattern looks like a hot mess. I have been working on this about every day for at least 10 mins. I think that I am making decent process I am ready for the outline to be finished so I can just fill it in and it be done. I think that this is a g

Cross-stitch Im a little worried.....

Hello, my name Kelsi. For my project I am doing in English I will be learning how to cross-stitch.  I chose this project because my aunt and grandma do it so now I have a chance to get more family time and finally learn how to cross-stitch. The materials I will need is a needle, thread, and the cross-stitch board thing. ( I am still learning all the terms for cross-stitching so you will probably laugh at some of my words.) I will need designs to start doing. I am going to start doing easy patterns first then advance to more difficult patterns. Some obstacles I might face is not having enough time. Wanting to quit when it gets hard. Just not wanting to do it. This project is worthy of my time because I can have bonding time with my family and make gifts and have another new hobby. I am doing this for the first time so it will be a great adventure to try and get through. I am a little scared about how this will turn out. I am starting this project tomorrow. I still have to tell m
