My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/26/23

Happy Sunday Everyone!  

I wanted to say Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes. Thankfully, I feel much better now! Now if we could just welcome spring and get rid of the cold weather we will be doing great! 

Since it is still March this week I continued working Dinosaurs.

Progress 03/24/23

And I also added Week 12 to the blackwork piece.

The Blackwork Stitch Along
Progress 03/25/23

And that is it for this week's stitching!

Now I have to figure out next week's stitching. Now the group I am in is planning on doing Monogamous April but I feel like stitching something else for a while and then coming back to this later. Decisions, decisions... what shall it be. 

There is nothing else exciting happening around here so I guess that is it all together for this week.

So thanks for stopping by,
hope to see you again next week!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/19/23

Hi everybody. I have just a very quick post today because I have not been feeling to well since yesterday. I think I must have the stinking stomach flu and it is not to fun! 

This week I continued to work on both Dinosaurs and The Blackwork SAL

This week the first one up is Dinosaurs

As I mentioned above, I also worked on my blackwork piece.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/12/23

Afternoon All, how are you doing today? I hope it is well.

We are doing great over here and our temps are finally back up into the 70s; thankfully! This week I picked a neglected WIP out of "The Box" to work on. I also work on The Blackwork Stitch Along

So that makes the first one up

The Blackwork Stitch Along
Progress 03/07/23
#TheBlackworkStitchAlong

Then for Monogamous March my WIP Pick was Dinosaurs!  I'll bet you guys didn't see that one coming did you?? This is my second oldest WIP that was started in 2012. The first oldest is a kit of Christmas ornaments from 2004!! The chart for the ornaments is not in with the kit so I need to see if I can find where ever I stuck it so I can pull that out too. 

This was my starting point 


and this is my progress 03/12/23


So that wraps up this week's stitching!

Well thanks for seeing what I stitched over the past week.
I hope to be back next Sunday with more progress on both of these

My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/05/23

Happy Sunday Everyone! 

I hope your week was a great one. Mine was pretty good. Our weather has been warming up for the weekends and during the week it is chilly and rainy. I hope that with the arrival of spring it will be warm all week and we should start having more daylight hours too. What kind of weather are you having? 

This week found me stitching the week nine section of 

The Blackwork Stitch Along

Progress 02/28/23

This is now a third of the way stitched!

Then I continued to stitch 

Shades of Gold
Progress 03/05/23

I will be bringing out another WIP for the remainder of March as I am participating in Monogamous March with one of my Facebook groups. 

Well, this week I did not make it to cleaning up my WIP Box like I planned. I started it and then I needed to move somethings around in my closet and ended up cleaning out my closet instead. Seems like there are always things to clean out of a closet! I packed up some stuff for the next donation pickup and got rid of some other stuff. I hope to do the WIP Box soon so I can kit up a bunch of stuff.  For now, I am off to stitch a little more.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by,
see you next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/26/23

Hello Friends! 

First of all I would like to thank those who wished me well last week when I wasn't feeling that good. I think the combination of the constantly changing weather and the lack of sleep finally did me in. I took a couple of ibuprofens and managed to get in a decent nights sleep and it did the trick and I felt much better the next day. Thank you once again. 

I hope you are having a great day today! We have been enjoying a lazy weekend catching up and cleaning off the recordings on TV. They really do accumulate faster than you can watch them every week and so they pile up like so many other things. One good thing is that I can't see this pile of stuff unless I look for it specifically.

This week (during The Bachelor) I stitched the next section of

The Blackwork Stitch Along

Progress 02/20/23
Week 8
#TheBlackworkStitchAlong

Then I spun the wheel so I could get in some stitches on a WIP this week and here is what the wheel landed on! 

Shades of Gold
Nicole Dostal
Progress 02/25/23
I have now finished two pages out of 16.

And that is it for the week. This week I am going to TRY to clean out my WIP Box, I don't know when (or how) I have let it get so messy and then I can kit up some charts I want to start soon.

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching
see ya next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/19/23

Good Afternoon Everyone! 

Just a really short post tonight because I am not feeling to well and I still need to get in some stitching.

First up I have the Monday's SAL Update!

I love how quick this file stitches up every week and I think that is what will help keep me current. Sometimes when the weekly installments are large, I skip them and tell myself I will do it next week.

Next up I have a new start and a finish!

Well now I think I am off for an ibuprofen and a nap before my daughter cooks dinner and I look for something to stitch. 

Thanks so much for stopping by,
see you next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/12/23

Good Afternoon Everyone!! 

Today I am just going to jump right into my stitching. This week I have been stitching away on the Happy Valentines Day piece but I also managed to add in part six of the Blackwork SAL.

So first up is the next part of the SAL.

Tangled Threads and Things
Progress 02/07/23

Part six are the leaves that are filling in the width of the piece. I wasn't sure about using the orange on them but I think it makes it look kind of like an autumn piece. After I finished them I went back to the Valentines piece.

Happy Valentines Day
Finished 02/11/23

And this piece is now a finish!

I am leaning towards finishing this as a pillow. I have to see what I have in the fabric stash. Then I need to find something else to stitch. Maybe another Valentiny piece? I have never really stitched Valentines before so it might be a good opportunity.

Thanks so much for stopping by,
see you next Sunday with another faithful update!

January 2023 Stitching Stats

Welcome to February Everyone!

January seemed to zip past pretty fast! I was wondering if it always goes by that quickly? You would think that it doesn't since you should have some time to relax instead of planning, shopping and cooking for the holidays but I don't remember; after all it was a whole year ago!

This year I was able to squeeze in quite a few new starts and even a couple of small finishes. 



Here are my monthly stats!


Number of Days Stitched This Month = 31
Number of Days Stitched This Year = 31

Number of Different Projects Worked on This Month = 4
Number of Different Projects Worked on This Year = 4
     *Includes WIPs, UFOs (which may have already been worked on this year) and new starts

Number of New Projects Started This Month = 4
Number of New Projects Started This Year = 4

Number of Projects Finished This Month = 2
Number of Projects Finished This Year = 2

Well those are pretty good stats for the first month!
I can only hope that the following months will be as good.

Thanks for stopping by!
