I can't believe it is only ten little days until Christmas and then 17 until the New Year arrives. I hope everyone is ready for the holidays. I am and was even finished early this year! I only have to make a cheeseball to serve with crackers for the Mall Stitchers holiday get together. We will be doing a White Elephant Gift Exchange also so we should have a good time.
I do miss not having a little one in the house because they would always be so excited; 19 year olds - not so much! I am proud of him though, when I asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said he would like some tuition money to take a couple of college classes. I will gladly provide that for him but boy oh boy have the rates gone up a LOT since my kids went. Due to the cost he will only be taking a couple of classes here and there so we will have to wait and see what his next decision will be. 💖
So I guess we should get on with some stitching. This week I stitched on three different projects and stitched on each for two days. It was one of those weeks unfortunately but I think I may be a on the mend (shhh, when I say that I start feeling like I an going down again). No fever but my eyes feel like that are very hot, I have a headache that comes and goes and so many other things I'm sure you don't want to hear about.
So first I will show you the 2024 Peppermint Purple Blackwork SAL. "The prompt was Stitch on a project that takes courage, explain your reasoning." Since I had so many visits from Mr & Mrs Frog on this piece I wanted to see if I could actually manage to do it correctly. Trying it again was courage! I contemplated ripping everything out and starting it from the beginning again. I think that this time having the chart all on one page has really helped me. Maybe I can actually finish it soon.
Love In Stitches
I did get in 129 stitches, all on the wording.
Only added 113 stitches so I hope she is not in a hurry for it!
Well that is all I have for today.
I wish you a wonderful week and I will see you on Sunday.

Merry Christmas Faith and Family: I am happy to hear you are feeling better, I hope the pain in your eyes and head go away.
What an amazing gift tuition, I think that is a wonderful gift, you have a kind heart. I know rates have gone up terribly.
I like all the designs you are working on Peppermint Purple is a lovely design.
I have never seen the Long May You Stitch anywhere before seeing it on your site, like it very much.
Stephen King House, what a large project but so sweet.

Luckily studying at university here isn't that expensive, I've heard about the high prices at your university. But what wouldn't you do for a good education?
Great progress on your projects.
Have a good week, Martina
Great Progress , enjoy your week hugs June,
What a sensible young lad, good luck to him in his studies. Your stitching is always lovely, wishing you busy needles in 2025. Merry Christmas to you all 🎄
Your pieces are looking good, Faith. Hope you remain healthy! The decorating still isn't finished; it hasn't been started. Tomorrow, I say!
Great progress on your wips. Have a nice week. Manuela
I think your grandson's wish for Christmas is such a mature and sensible one, Faith! It is indeed shocking how high tuition is now--my husband just told me that the tuition and room and board at the university where two of my sons went has gone up to $80,000/year! Absolutely crazy! I'm so glad I don't have kids in college these days. I hope you are feeling better--you must have this horrible virus like I had for so long. It seems to be everywhere these days. Nice progress on your WIPs and that's great that you're all ready for Christmas--wish I could say the same. Oh well! Enjoy your week and feel all better soon ♥
I am horrible behind. Been crazy busy stitching haha. Lovely work on your pieces. I keep dreaming about that Stephen King House too haha.
