My Sunday Stitchy Update 08/24/25

Hello Everyone! I hope you had a great week! I had a pretty good week myself.  

I want to say thanks for telling me about your favorite genre of books. It was interesting to see how similar many of our likes are! Some of the more popular ones are Stephen King, mysteries, cozy mysteries along with biographies and the list goes on and on.

Now for the important stuff!

This week I stitched on three different projects. I don't remember if I mentioned that I needed to finish the penguin for J's birthday in September or not but I did get all the stitching on that done! To be honest, it was almost finished already but until you put in that last X, it is not ready to go! Now I need to FFO it so it will be ready for gift giving time. First though I need to decide how I should finish it.

Daily Cross Stitch
 
Added the final 224 stitches!


Then I decided I wanted to add some color to Stephen King's House. Unfortunately, the next color was brown! But I think as long as I am nor using more black, it should be just what I needed! I think that it will help me keep track of where I am a little easier. 
I added 172 stitches this week.


And last but not least for the week I worked on the Snowman 3D Ornament. Today I finished what I will call the bottom snowball, tomorrow I think I will start on the pretty blue scarf.


Put in an additional 362 icy stitches this week.


So what is everyone else working on? If you stitch Christmas gifts, what do you stitch? Larger  Christmas scenes, cards, smelting personal, stockings, ornaments or something else? Have you started yet?? As of today; Sunday, August 24th you have 123 days until Christmas! I think that means you should get started! For some reason, I always seem to pick ones that need lots of stitches so I need plenty of time.  

This week I plan to catch up with some blog reading but before that happens, I just wanted to say

THANKS

for stopping by! So until I see you again, stay safe and out of trouble!

💜💜💜     💜   💜   💜     💜💜💜

Well done on getting the penguin piece finished, Faith! You are making good progress on the snowman and the House. I stitch ornaments for Christmas gifts and most of my gifts are finished (I start in January and they are the focus in my stitching plans). I do have a few still at the finisher, but overall the stitching has been completed. I am currently working on patriotic pieces and birthday gifts. Have a wonderful week!
