A bit of stitching.
Josie is visiting this week while her mom and dad are in Vegas. We have been keeping the yard safe from birds, butterflies and toads. She wants to play with the toad so bad but I won't let her, I'm a mean grandma. She's a very active little dog and keeps me occupied, so I haven't gotten much done in the way of stitching.
I did finally get started on doing the herringbone stitch for the Take a Stitch Tuesday (TAST) on Stitchin Fingers and discovered that I really do need a new pair of glasses. Even using a magnifier I couldn't keep my stitches even, but since this is a sampler I'll just claim any wrong stitch is a design variation.
There are still a few more variations of the herringbone stitch that I would like to do before moving on, but I am posting a pic of progress so far. Don't look too closely at the stitching. If you squint your eyes, maybe you won't see all of the mistakes.

Josie seems to be a nice girl, but jack russels are full of energy, as far as I know.
Your first steps on that sampler look good. I agree with you, stitching is a great incentive to have your eyes checked regularly
