My Sunday Stitchy Update 09/03/23

Hello There! I hope that you are having an awesome weekend! This weekend in the States we have the labor day holiday on Monday so it is a long weekend for us. It also marks the unofficial end to summer, unfortunately! When I was younger it also signaled the start of the new school year. I liked going back to school for the most part. New clothes, new school supplies, new classroom, new teacher, and new things to learn ~ what's not to like! How about you? How did you like the start of a new school year? 

Well on to the stitching part of the week... 

This week I was able to finish putting all the stitches in the Snowman so now all of them have been stitched and are in need of their backstitch. Then I will almost be finished with the ornaments for this year, finally.

All stitched up! 09/02/23


I hope to get the backstitch finished on the others this week!

Next year I plan on finding another way to get the family ornaments stitched up. I think if I do them gradually through the year it might work out better for me. They will probably take just as long but I am hoping it won't seem as long and overwhelming if I break them down in smaller blocks of time. I don't know if that is true, but I will see. That means I have to start hunting down some ornaments soon!


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

Love the sweet ornaments , I have most of mine done now , but still need to do the finish hanging them.
I didn't mind school , both my parents worked.

Your snowman ornament is adorable and I am glad you changed his nose to orange, Faith. How many family ornaments do you need to stitch? You could start in January and do one a month. I loved returning to school in September because I loved to learn and I loved getting back to the routine.

I really enjoyed watching this set. Maybe so many days a month or something on them next year. Good luck figuring out what works for you.

I don't mind this time of year. Things start slowing down. Here in Indiana the weather finally cools down. So I look at this time of year as a good thing. End of the busy days.
