My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/01/26

Hey Everyone! How is it going today? I am still hoping that you have not gotten any big snow falls and that your weather has warmed up some! When I watch the news I see so many places that are snowed in and then I start remembering those days and then I get cold immediately! I guess memories are hard to forget sometimes. 

So now it is time for the stitching!

First up I have the Nintendo game Contra for you. I am so happy to announce that this block is FINISHED! I was so tired of stitching those trees and the grass and am MORE than happy to have finished it. 

Last week I added 213 stitches to finish this block.

Nintendo will get put away until it comes up on the wheel again.

Now I have the I Stitch Sampler to show you! It is thisclose to being finished. I think that all it needs is the backstitching on the flowers and I will probably stitch those today. 
I put in 376 stitches this week and not many more to go!

When this came up on the wheel I was happy! I think it is a cute one. So I got out the chart and stitching and I couldn't find the stinkin' floss. So I searched and searched for it and finally found it. Evidentially I moved it to another box and forgot to move the label! But by the time I found it I wasn't able to get much stitching (better than no stitching) done but there is always this week! yay 

Put in 45 stitches.


I also read Stephen King's book, Salem's Lot and it was a long one. I "plan" to read (or re-read) some of his books this year. I usually read books via audiobook now while I do other things, like stitching and stuff around the house and yes, they count the same as reading a book! 😊 There are just not enough hours per day. 

So, that is it for me this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stay safe and keep on stitching.

I'm happy for you that you finished Contra. I know it was annoying you. Onto happier things. I love Stephen King books, especially his early ones like Salems. I hear you on not having enough hours in a day! I mean it's already February! Happy stitching and I hope you stay warm.

Your finish looks good, I bet you're happy being done with it with all that green!

That kitty is so cute, I'm looking forward to seeing it grow.

I listen to books too, can't "waste" any stitching time!😉
