Couple more lengths completed today. At this rate I should have the centre dolphin (yes, I said it! Did you guess they were dolphins! Lol!) finished by the end of this weekend. Possibly even by Friday, depending on how much I get done tomorrow after staff meeting and how distracting Special Agent Gibbs is.

Ok, so I'm running out of title ideas. I did more this evening while watching, need I even say, NCIS. Lol. Although I must admit I'd rather be inside stitching on an evening like this. The wind was sometimes louder than the TV! Well, almost.
I had a chat with a good friend of mine at work today. In exchange for me teaching her to cross stitch, she's going to teach me how to do French knots! Woo hoo! They drive me insane so I just sew little tiny patches until they look like a dot!

| Day 34 |
Despite having the afternoon off today, I only got a very small amount done today. Mostly because my day was spent wandering around the Range and getting quite sad that their range of cross stitch kits is pretty poor. Then again, I don't get paid until Thursday so maybe that's a good thing! Anyway, I did a little before Cubs this evening then a little bit more afterwards.

| Day 33 |
I didn't get as much done today as I was hoping. After church this morning we went straight out to Makro to pick up some bits and pieces and have a general mooch. While we were there we had lunch. We then stopped at a friend's house on the way home so by the time I got back it was about 3pm, 3.15. Although it was a really nice day, just me and my mum mostly, I didn't quite hit the zone with my stitching when I got back, Think I still did well, though.

| Day 32 |
That's it! I've done it! I decided against completing the backstitch as I was in the zone for crosses. So here's today's effort. I did some this morning while watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this afternoon while watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and while visiting a friend of mine in hospital who has fractured her ankle and this evening while watching The Wizard of Oz and Batman Forever. A mostly lazy but productive day!

| Day 31 |
So this evening I finally stitched the actual corner stitch at the bottom left side, meaning that all four corners are technically complete. I still have a little to do in the bottom left portion but I'm confident that this weekend I will finally complete the entire of the background. Whether that completion includes the background backstitch, I've yet to work out. We'll see what happens.

| Day 30 |
I see a light at the end of the half-stitched tunnel! I've almost finished the bottom left corner! I did a large amount this morning before work then again this evening after work. I didn't feel particularly well today so I was allowed to miss staff meeting. I spent the evening curled up under my blanket, stitching away.
