My Sunday Stitchy Update 06/23/24

Happy Sunday Everyone! 

I hope that you had a great week.  I had a pretty good week. Just hanging out at the house and getting in quite a bit of stitching.  It has been to hot to cook in the kitchen so I have been making a lot of crock pot meals which frees up a lot of my day and that is pretty nice! Do you guys like to cook in the crockpot? I think it maybe my favorite way to "cook" dinner!


This week I pulled out this piece again and continued stitching this blackwork with two threads. 
 

One Hundred Days of Tiny

The Steady Thread

 

Progress 06/16/24

159 stitches added

So...as I was stitching it I kept looking at the the stitched parts and I think that they look very thick. I asked around and everyone says it looks fine the way it is and I agreed. Then I would stitch some more and start having the doubts about the stitches again. I decided that I will just start it over and see how I like it then. 


Then I was in a little pop-up challenge in one of my groups to either stitch 500 stitches or 5 hours on a piece that you avoid. Well I am always dreading the Dinosaur piece with all of the confetti stitches it has. So silly me, that is the piece I decided on.

Artist - Stephen Michael Gardner

Flumpkins X Stitchers

Progress 06/20/24

179 stitches added

Well I ended up stitching for the five hours and put in 179 stitches. I do consider that good with as much confetti as there is.  It seems like there was not more than five of the same color stitches in any one place. So now I think this one has to go on time out for the month of July! 


Next I stitched some of the Vase of Flowers which is on plastic canvas. It will be a bookmark once it is finished.

added 240 stitches

Then yesterday I moved on to a cheery colorful one!

Twisted Rainbow Sampler

Designer - Northern Expressions Needlework

Progress 06/21/24

only 84 stitches added

That is 662 stitches for the week but I am happy with the amount given the Dinosaur piece. 

Next week I have a few pieces to catch up on before the end of the month so I hope to be busy stitching this week to finish my acrostics for June. Then it is time to figure out the July plans!

Well I talked to much (again) so that is it for today!

Thanks again for stopping by and

checking out my stitches, I appreciate it!
I am off to add some more Xs to the Twisted Rainbow!

Have a great week and I hope you get in lots of Xs.
