30-day minimalism challenge - Day 11: Practice gratitude

Becoming a minimalist is above all about being mindful and appreciating the little (and big) things that are already a part of your life. Assignment for today: Write a long list of everything (and everyone) you are grateful for in life.
I had to pick something easy for today and something that I can work on while stitching. A stitch in Time was published yesterday so today I'm gathering all the threads and getting fabric ready and by tonight there will be another new start. Then Madonna will go on a rotation with ASiT.


It is a big project, 725 stitches by 518 which gives in total 375,550 stitches. There is a lot of confetti so I'm assuming that I would be able to stitch about 300 stitches a day. The whole project will take three and half years to finish... Wow, that's a relationship!

So long my friends,
Evalina

    That is an epically awesome design! I love the colours and all the different pictures within it. I'm going to really enjoy following your stitching. It's not very minimal is it? LOL
    I like your Madonna new start too.
    This challenge is very interesting. I'm trying to get into good habits this year, doing a small task each day to try declutter and tidy.
