My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/16/25

New Week, New Stitches! YaY!

I hope everyone is doing great. I am doing pretty good; nothing exciting happening, thankfully. 

My needle had some busy times this week and I am happy with the progress that was made. The first thing I worked on was the 2024 Blackwork SAL and I can't wait to work on it again. I completed all of the January fills. 
 

Added in 319 (638) stitches.


After that, I found the Vase of Flowers that had been missing for a couple of months. It had been tucked away with another chart!  So I decided I needed to work on it! All most finished with the background then there is a little backstitch to do.

Added 141 blue stitches!


The next piece I worked on was The Flower A Day. This piece is so colorful that I can't help but smile when I am working on it!  I was wondering how many flowers are actually on this chart though I know I don't want to count them. 

So I added 92 stitches to this piece.


Then it was time for some more Blackwork with The Steady Thread's SAL. You can really see the design coming through now.. I think it must take a lot of patience to be a designer. 

  
Added in 91 (184) stitches.


Next up we have Faith Over Fear.  When I started it I changed the green to pink and forgot to write down which pink! I had to to thru a hand full of pinks to figure it out which one I used. I think I picked to correct one, at least it looks like it. I also made sure I wrote down the which number I used! 

Added 136, mostly white, stitches. Hope you can see them.


And finally, to wrap things up; I worked on My Enchanted Snowman! I can even see the progress made! I think I finally got the hang of this one or maybe because I didn't have so many color changes but I really enjoyed stitching on it this time. I guess we will see what happens next time. 

 
Added 227 stitches in.

Well it is LATE here and I need to go to sleep! So I guess I will close for now. Thank you once again for stopping by. I appreciate it. I am also making my way through my inbox and I am finally (hanging head in shame) answering emails. If I could only get two or three more hours in each day for a while I could easily catch up with everything I want to do.

Well friends, stay safe and I hope to see you next weekend!

Nice progress on all, Faith! I especially like seeing The Flower a Day piece grow :) And that snowman piece is so impressive! He sure is a cutie. I hope you're enjoying some sunny, warm weather. We had more snow here yesterday... sigh! ♥
