My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/08/24

Morning Everyone!

I hope that you had a great week and that you are catching up with your Christmas stitching. There is really nothing exciting happening here, just stitching and watching Christmas movies. I finished all my Christmas shopping a few weeks ago so I have been wrapping things when nobody else is home. 

I think Christmas is my favorite holiday because I like gifting my family with things they "want or need" and seeing their reactions when they open their gifts even though they are grown up now. I feel the same with their birthdays.

This week I only worked on two pieces and only worked on one prompt so this should be a fast and short stitching post. Then I will get back to work on those prompts next week. 

So the prompt I worked on was "Stitch on a WIP that has letters." So I pulled out the I Stitch Sampler and put in a few stitches.

I was trying to fill in the blue background on the letter I but there seems to be lot of stitches in that small square! I only put 130 stitches in it on 12/03/24 before it was time to go home.


Then I worked on the "Small Christmas Ornaments" piece. I really wanted to get it finished this week so I can decide how to finish them off and I managed to do it! YAY!

  
I put in 915 stitches during the week, mostly backstitch. I finally finished them just yesterday (Saturday, 12/07) and now I have a little time to decide on the finishing so a couple of them can be mailed out and arrive before Christmas.

And so believe it or not, that is it for the week!

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I have been doing.

I hope to see you again next week so until then
take care and stay safe but make lots of Xs!

Yay on the ornament finishes, Faith--I just love the little penguin :) And you are way ahead of me--haven't done ANY Christmas shopping except for Mister B! I've been sick since before Thanksgiving and am just now starting to get my energy back. Some things will just not be getting done this year, but that's okay! Enjoy your week! ♥
