The many colour changes on A Pensive Moment were making for such slow progress that I was feeling like giving up. I had been thinking of starting to stitch the face for two reasons. One to check it was charted well and that I wasn’t going to stitch half the picture then be disappointed with the face and two, to see something emerge and thus motivate me to continue. With encouragement from the stitchers on the Golden Kite forum I carefully counted and stitched my way over to the face and began at the top of her head. When you are stitching it, because you are so close, you cannot see anything forming, it’s just a mass of stitches but step back and an eyebrow has emerged.
A few days later
Then an ear appeared
