My Sunday Stitchy Update 10/19/25

Good Morning Stitchers! 

I had a busy week of stitching white Xs! Robin had suggested I stitch them when I meet up with the other stitchers at the mall and I thought that was a great idea since all I have left on the Snowman is white stitches. So, I got out the next ornament and started stitching it only to find out the vinyl they sent was to small for the ornament!  So I got busy searching for some more vinyl aida and luckily sound some on that giant shipping site on the internet! So I need to cut out the size I need and get started on the next one. 

In the meantime I did make some progress on the Snowman. So I was stitching away and realized there is no where near the amount of white floss needed for the snowman! Luckily it was the white floss since it is easy to match up because they don't use DMC numbers for comparison or shortages! So it was just one of those crazy stitching weeks! 

But here is the progress I did make...

Snowman 3D Ornament
The World of Cross Stitching

Put in 630 stitches this week
and still have plenty more to go!

And that is it for the week!

Next week I hope to start another ornament, The Santa. Also, I am going to ask a friend to help me with the penguin. She can draw, I can't! I know there is not much to draw for a penguin so I will see what happens! 

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Keep smiling, stay safe and keep that needle moving!

See ya Sunday!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 10/12/25

 Hi Everyone, I hope you are all doing great today. There is really not anything new happening here except some rain finally came down! We really needed it too so lets see if it continues.  

Today I wanted to work on the finishing for Jacob's Chicago Blackhawks piece but I need some help to pull it taught so I can staple the fabric to the frame. Hopefully, I can get some help tomorrow. 

This week I worked exclusively on the Snowman ornament. It looks like I will have to put in about a million white stitches for that Snowman! 

 Snowman 3D Ornament

The World of Cross Stitching

added 573 stitches

And that is pretty much all I did for the entire week. See, I told you that there is really not anything new or exciting happening here! I will continue working on the ornaments since I have a couple more to get thru before Christmas gets here. I had a Halloween chart to stitch but that is not going to happen, maybe I will start it after the ornaments are done? 

So anyways, thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again next week.

Stay out of trouble and stay safe.

Love to all of you.

Well Hello All! Hope you are doing well. I am doing pretty good.

Last week I fully finished Penguin Ice Slide (the penguin is a bit crooked!) in a simple hoop finish. He promptly hung it up on his bedroom door with all his other penguins. That makes me feel good because I know he appreciates them. Here is how it looks now:

Then today I finished all the stitching on the Blackhawks logo for my grandson. I don't think I mentioned it before, but if you are not a sports person, this logo is for Chicago's hockey team. I had plans to mount it on a stretch canvas frame today. So I went to the dollar store this week and bought a bottle of Mod Podge so I can mount the stitching. Well, I have looked all over and can't find where I put it so I may have to stop at the store again when I'm out to pick up another bottle. Then I am sure, I will find the missing bottle! LOL  So maybe next week I can show you the fully finished piece, but in the mean time here is the logo now. It is not really crooked, that is my wonderful photography skills!

Stitching is Finished!

Now I believe I will return to my Christmas ornaments and alternate with a Halloween piece that I am going to SAL with a friend of mine. Guess I should get out some fabric for it. 

Thanks for stopping by! I am thankful for you guys. 

Stay safe and I will see you next week.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 09/28/25

This is going to be a very quick post.

I am trying to get myself together so that I can rejoin life. I feel like all I did this week was take care of paperwork, cry and sleep. I did manage to find a few minutes to stitch everyday even though a couple of days I only managed 40 some odd stitches, but they all added up in the end. 

So let me show you my progress for the week... in case you forgot I am working on  the Chicago Blackhawks Logo for my grandson. The only problem is we are celebrating his birthday tomorrow! Luckily for me though, his actual birthday is a few days away so I think I can FFO it by then, 

Chicago Blackhawks Logo

This week I was able to add 592 stitches!

So that is all I did this week. This week was the perfect week for this chart because it is mostly all large blocks of color so I didn't have to concentrate to much. 

I want to say thank you for stopping by!
Keep stitching and stay safe.

Love you guys.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 09/21/25

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome... This has been some week. I wish it was a dream, but it wasn't.

I am going to start off with some bad news. 😢 I'll spare you all the details surrounding this and what else happened during this time. In the middle of the night Wednesday, I received the call I have been dreading. My little brother had left this world to go be with our Mom and the rest of the family there. I was terribly upset, as you might expect and literally cried or slept for two days. The blessing is knowing that he is now pain free and can finally rest.

I would like to THANK all of you that have taken time out of your busy life to say a prayer for Glenn and my family. They were truly appreciated. 

Glenn

 
1973 - 2025
Rest in peace little brother. I will love and miss you 
always but don't worry, we will meet again.

So on the stitching front, I am STILL working on the Chicago Blackhawks logo. I made some good progress on it but I only have another week until my grandson's birthday. I would like to have it FFO'd by then, so I really need to concentrate on it this week. I need to fill in the feathers and then stitch the words, "Chicago Blackhawk" and it will be done. Wish me luck!

I added 741 stitches for the week.

So that is it for the week! I hope I can get back to my Christmas ornaments soon, but for now I will be going am taking the Blackhawk with me! 

Please stay safe and keep stitching!
💜💜💜
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Love to all and keep praying that someone will find a cure for cancer.

Hello All, I hope that you are having a good day. 

Nothing exciting is happening around here except stitching, which can be exciting. 

I spun the Tiny Decision Wheel and what came up for stitching at the Mall with my friends was the Temperature Library. I decided to stitch it at home instead of in our group and I added two feet of stitches, get it? ha ha There is also a book to the left of the feet which you can't really see. Now to decide; should I take it out and change that color for the chart or will the book outline be good enough to bring attention to it?  So many decisions...maybe I should use the wheel?! 

Temperature Library

Kristi’s Corner Needlework

Put in 133 stitched on this round.

After that I went back to the ornaments and started the Snowman AGAIN! This is it's last chance so I hope it works out. I decided to start in the center this time and see if that helps me. I don't want to jinx it but so far, so good!

Starting again with 331 stitches.

And another new start! Last night I couldn't sleep again and I was thinking about Jacob's birthday at the end of the month. With our family being from Chicago, the guys in this house cheer for the Chicago teams. One of the gifts we are getting him is a Chicago Blackhawks jersey and so today I decide to stitch him their logo to hang in his room. It is kind of plain, but he will like it. Now to finish it and frame it by the end of the month!

52 stitches so far.

And that is it for stitching for the week!

Now, with the permission of her husband, I have a little sad news to share with you. Linda Scott, a blogger from a few years ago with the blog Stitchin with my Furbabies has passed away on September 8th, 2025. Her husband  did not provide any details but I just wanted you guys to know since she was a friend to many of us. Linda will be missed along with her Disney stitching.  

Thank you so much for stopping by and
I hope you know how much I appreciate you and your comments.

Please stay safe and keep stitching and see you again soon!

💜   Love to you all!   💜

Good Evening Friends! 

I hope that you had a wonderful week. My week was kind of good. The weather has cooled down and we even got a little rain. 

This week will be a very short post. I only stitched on one piece, Stephen King's House. I finished all the brown (DMC 400) on the top floor. 

Stephen King House

The Witchy Stitcher

I added 450 stitches this week.

Now I will put this away for a while and switch to something else after I spin the wheel today.

Well that is it for today. Short and sweet and to the point!

Thanks for stopping by and please continue to pray for Glenn, thank you.

Stay safe and I will
see you next week!

Well that is another month in the books; August is over, done with, gone!! We have finally had our temperatures drop to under 100° an now we are just waiting for some rain. 

During the week I tried to stitch the Snowman and he is giving me lots of trouble! I am constantly putting in stitches and taking them out, over and over again! I hope to FINALLY get that scarf right soon!

I manage to get in 177 stitches. I am not sure they stayed in but I tried!

I also worked on Mr. King's House on Friday, It was a nice break from the snowman, even if it was only for  day! 

Stephen King House

The Witchy Stitcher

Added 128 stitches to this one.

And that is all I have for this week!

We can still use some prayers for my brother Glenn, if you can.

He has an incurable cancer and was put into hospice. They seem to be keeping him heavily medicated and he can't really hold a conversation. I am so upset over this situation that I just keep on breaking out in tears. I am praying for him to have the strength to get through this without the constant pain as his cancer has spread throughout his body. We thank you for any prayers said on his behalf. 

Thanks for stopping by,

I hope to see you next Sunday.

Hello Everyone! I hope you had a great week! I had a pretty good week myself.  

I want to say thanks for telling me about your favorite genre of books. It was interesting to see how similar many of our likes are! Some of the more popular ones are Stephen King, mysteries, cozy mysteries along with biographies and the list goes on and on.

Now for the important stuff!

This week I stitched on three different projects. I don't remember if I mentioned that I needed to finish the penguin for J's birthday in September or not but I did get all the stitching on that done! To be honest, it was almost finished already but until you put in that last X, it is not ready to go! Now I need to FFO it so it will be ready for gift giving time. First though I need to decide how I should finish it.

Penguin Ice Slide

Daily Cross Stitch
 
Added the final 224 stitches!

Then I decided I wanted to add some color to Stephen King's House. Unfortunately, the next color was brown! But I think as long as I am nor using more black, it should be just what I needed! I think that it will help me keep track of where I am a little easier. 

Stephen King House

The Witchy Stitcher

I added 172 stitches this week.

And last but not least for the week I worked on the Snowman 3D Ornament. Today I finished what I will call the bottom snowball, tomorrow I think I will start on the pretty blue scarf.

Snowman 3D Ornament

The World of Cross Stitching

Put in an additional 362 icy stitches this week.

So what is everyone else working on? If you stitch Christmas gifts, what do you stitch? Larger  Christmas scenes, cards, something personal, stockings, ornaments or something else? Have you started yet?? As of today; Sunday, August 24th you have 123 days until Christmas! I think that means you should get started! For some reason, I always seem to pick ones that need lots of stitches so I need plenty of time.  

This week I plan to catch up with some blog reading but before that happens, I just wanted to say

THANKS

for stopping by! So until I see you again, stay safe and out of trouble!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 08/17/25

A new week, same charts, new Xs!  

I am TRYING to make progress on the snowman ornament but there is soooo much WHITE! LOL  I get tired of looking at it! I think that this week I will need to finish stitching the Penguin for Jacob's birthday card! It is coming up in September, so I need to get busy.

The World of Cross Stitching

This week I add 586 stitched to the snowman
and I think I have a million left!

This week I also continued with my Stephen King House. There are so many black stitches that I have to count and recount and sometimes count again to make sure I have the right number of stitches in the right spot. So anyways, this is what I am stitching at the mall this week. 

Stephen King House

The Witchy Stitcher

I only put in 134 stitches in 2 days this week.
Guess we were talking to much again!

Do any of you read Stephen King books? What is your favorite genre of books? Me; I like true crime, mysteries and police procedure type books. I also enjoy some autobiographies, and a good sappy love story every now and then! Sounds like I will read most anything! When I was still working, I switched to audiobooks since I could listen to them while I did my work. I also find I can get more books in this way! If I remember to update Goodreads, then you can always see what I am reading at the top of the column on the right. If you are a member (it’s free) there request my friendship so I can see what you are reading!

Nothing else exciting happening here except we finally got rain, but I don't think it was enough. So, I hope we will get some more soon. Plus, I love a good rain. We are still dealing with the reason for the prayer request; we have appreciated all the prayers but please don't stop if you can see to it in your heart. THANK YOU

Stay safe and I hope to see you next Sunday.
