Crafts - Monthly Progress

So I FINALLY made solid strides on my projects!

The green dress is done! I did some additional stitching while wearing the dress for the second time, but I finished it for wearing a couple of weeks ago. I've discovered that one of the armholes is a bit tight on the side I had to take more out of the chest. I think I should have adjusted the back darts then the front princess seams to even out the correction. Otherwise, it's outstanding. Super comfortable and survived a dinner out with friends. (I usually get nauseous and/or very bloated when out with friends. Stress and anxiety mixed with rich foods and alcohol...)

Also "finished" my friend's cross-stitch gift. I still need to do the hands on the face of the clock. (Totally forgot until a day ago.) And wash and block it. It's amazing how dirty it got. Granted it went to the beach twice, upstate once, and sits in my Brooklyn apartment that always has a layer of soot on everything. I will also need to frame it before gifting.

Now onto Christmas cards and fixing the zipper on my husband's coat. He's become demanding...
