My Sunday Stitchy Update 08/04/24

Happy Sunday Everyone!  We have been having storms and power surges on and off all week so I will try to make this a quick post even if I do have about what seems like a million photos for this post! 

I stitched a different project each day because of the Stitching Olympics over on Instagram. So here we go!

Day 3, Stitch something related to summer

So even though I LOVE summer I found myself lacking any summer charts! Since we are encouraged to get creative with our selections this was what I came up with! I will be recording the summer temperature eventually!

Day 5, Stitch something with water.

This is the only thing I had even resembling water, if you use your imagination! There is a vase with water in it for the flowers.

Day 7, Stitch on one of your oldest WIPs.

Well I  I had one in 2004 but I couldn't find it so this piece had to fill in for it because is the oldest one I could find. I started this one in 2011. I finished the June Flower last month and now moved on to the February one.

There's a lot to see at your Stitch Olympics. Great progress, it's like picking up something that's a bit older. I'm excited to see how it continues.
Have a nice day, Martina

It was fun to see what you chose for each day of Olympic stitching, Faith! I'd be hard pressed to participate in this one as I only have one or two WIPs (which I may never finish having lost interest :) Hope your weekend is a good one--it's really cooled off here! ♥
