I'm slightly less behind!

The title says it all really, I'm still behind, but it's slightly less behind than I was last week. I'm still hoping to get the top row finished by the end of the year, but seeing as I'm also wanting to get the black of Clara finished by the end of the year (and she's calling to me more), this might fall by teh wayside ever so slightly. It's been quite nice stitching this week though, the gold work always surprises me by being much easier and quicker to stitch than I expect it to be, and I've also been doing some nice easy block stitching, thus why it actually looks like I've made some progress this year.
