I think I will try to keep journals kind of regular, maybe one a month or something.

School is getting tougher. For one, I resent doing most homework assignments. The thing is, in high school, I actually liked doing the math homework assignments. I don't know what changed so much, but I have to keep grades or else I'll have to cover more of the costs for school. So, I won't be stitching as much as I was with the wolf because I need to focus on assignments. For the most part, I would love to get a better-than-minimum-wage job, and drop out, but I don't know how to get the job to start with. There are some internship programs at some places, and I should probably look more into them.

So far, the panther will be a bit slower than other things I have made. Part of it is because it is bigger than anything I have done before, and stitching on linen is a bit slower as well because the holes in the Aida are a lot more obvious. The thing with linen is that there are more holes in the fabric for the needle to pass through. To keep the stitching manageable is you have to go into every other hole. The phrase stitchers use is "over two" because you are moving over two strands of the fabric instead of just one like normal. Anyway, I'll keep working on it.
