I made good progress with the Greenhouse of oddities SAL 3rd planting. Only one shade of green left, as well as the backstitch, before moving on to the 4th planting.

Also I felt compelled to post a pic of my needle after about 3 weeks of work. this set came as a compliment from Cross-stitch corner but same happens with the cheapo needles included in the kits. More "premium" needles (at 20-30¢ a piece) seem to oxidize as well but much slower!

Oh the greenhouse is really coming along fast! I'll never unsee the "dinosaur" at the bottom but that's ok, he's cute lol.

After my mammoth undertaking this weekend I put about 10 stitches in something last night and noped out. So no pretty pictures here! But I should hopefully have a finish for FO Friday if I can bear to face the hour or so it'll take to complete Garden Cat 😅

Yeah I guess it kinda looks like a tiny cute dinosaur. I shall name him Frank.

I was trying to think of a name for him and couldn't come up with anything that seemed fitting. But Frank is perfect. Hi Frank!
