Extra Weekend!

There are five full weekends in March this year.  Last weekend was IHSW and next weekend is "End of the Month" and time to post WIPocalypse, Pie and Stitch From Stash so this weekend feels like a bonus weekend.

So what did I stitch for my bonus weekend?

My focus piece has been Hocus Pocus Cabinet - Focus Pocus? but progress has been a little slow due to being so busy in the week.

I managed to finish all the colour and now just have the black surround and the lettering to do.  I changed the colours to a mixture of Anchor and Jodyri.  The original used GAST and WDW.

Here's where I am now:

On Sunday I caught up with two weeks of leaves on my Temperature Tree from The Steady Thread:

As I had finished my Small for the WIPGO Board I switched to the Circle Cross Zodiac Tarot for the evenings.

I completed Aquarius and have made a good start on Pisces:

🐇 Good Friday - Friday 29th March 🐇

Finally, it's time to sign up for the Annual Easter Treasure Hunt.  If you would like to take part this year, just leave a comment here.  The week before Easter I will send you a letter of the alphabet which will form part of the mystery phrase.  On Good Friday you will post that letter along with a photo of something seasonal that you have stitched (could be Easter or Spring or just something cheerful and sunny or floral).  We all hop around like little bunnies to find the Mystery Phrase!

You made nice progress with your extra weekend stitching, Jo! Love how the temperature tree is looking. I'm usually not keen on temperature charts, but this one is very unique and eye catching. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Easter weekend ♥

Great progress on your Focus Pocus (lol). As you can see I'm a little behind with my reading, but I'm sure I'll soon find out if you managed to finish it in March!
