Not a lot of work as I am struggling with fatigue.
The cross stitch progresses, with set backs. Quite a bit of unpicking, I just can't concentrate to count.
And to the Textile Artist on-line workshop, the piece goes in fits and starts.
I hadn't realised just how much I am influenced by the sea that surrounds our island. This piece responds to the ebb and flow of the surrounding waters. As to stitches I have chosen, I really didn't make a conscious choice, I just followed how I felt, This is a very relaxing way to work.
I always feel that counted work requires too much concentration for the fatigued! Something a little more free-form is almost certainly easier!

I tried both, but I just have to accept the fatigue and get over it.

Yes, freeform is the most relaxed form of stitching. Let the cross stitch take a rest, too, and work on the workshop piece.
