Struggling to complete

I just wanted to share the two cross stitch patterns that have ran my stitchy bug dry!
Did anyone ever complete these two, how long did it take? I actually have all 4 in circulation but simply cannot get them done!

Spring




Summer

Sometimes they get tired from embroidery and it does not bring joy. In my experience it is best to take a break. Start another job, a small and interesting.

I stitch in the evenings and evenings only and with working I find my time has dropped, but I do take advantage of my weekend time to stitch as much as I can usually manage about 6 hours a weekend giving myself Friday and Saturday nights while watching TV......... more like listening to the TV rather than watching!:)
