My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/29/24

Well hello everyone. Welcome to the last Sunday of 2024! Sometimes it seemed as though the days just went by so slowly I had to push them to get them over the hump to the next one and other times they went by so quickly I don't even remember seeing them come or go!

I hope 2025 brings a lot of laughter and happiness to everyone's lives. I am look forward to seeing what everyone is doing and creating in this upcoming year. 

So this week in stitching, I had one new start and put in lots of of stitches on my blackwork piece. 

As many of you may already know, I stitch lots of penguins for my grandson. So I made a small start on a new one for him.  It will be something I can do at stitching because it won't take a lot of concentration. 

Penguin Ice Slide
Daily Cross Stitch
 
Progress 12/23/24
put in 182 stitches


Then I decided to add some more to the 2024 PP Blackwork SAL. I am still trying to finish the border since I had so many problem with it, I am being extra careful stitching it this time. 

 
Added 182 stitches this time


Then I didn't know what I wanted to stitch so I just reached in the box and pulled out something which ended up being a Halloween piece. I did some work on the Witch's Hat.
I have it 129 stitches.


Then for the end of the week I thought some flowers might brighten things up. Unfortunately the only parts I got to were leaves, leaves and more leaves! It looks like I have to wait for the other carnation before I get any color here so all I need is patience! 

Flowers of the Month
January, Carnation
Added 103 stitches to the carnation.

So that is what I did this week. This week I did not work on any prompts and I think I feel better and more relaxed already! Now if the rest of life would just fall in line too then everything could be perfect!

So as always I would like to thank everyone who stopped by!

I love that you come by to see what I am up to. I hope to see you again next week!

Have a safe and happy new year and I will see you in 2025!

A great week of stitching, good to see you didn't use prompts. The Christmas days have flown by, hard to believe we're in 2025. Happy New Year and happy needles

Happy New Year, Faith! I think you made good progress on your chosen pieces. I hope you have worked out the problems on your ornaments. Will you continue to take a break from your stitching prompts for the week?

Happy New Year, Faith! It sounds like the no prompt idea is helpful and you are so right about the rest of life following suit:) Nice to see your progress--that new penguin sure looks cute sliding on his belly. Hope this year is filled with many happy moments and lots of stitching time! ♥
