Good Morning Stitchy Friends, I hope everyone is well!
During the month of May I was pretty busy with my stitching amongst other things.
I worked a little more on my Gnome Place Like Home piece. I have made a little progress and there is still a long way to go! I think that they are cuties though!
Added 402 stitches

Then I put the gnomes down and when I spun the wheel it had me pick up the 2025 Blackwork SAL. I worked on it for a week and I really need to get back to it soon!

Then I decided that there would be no wheel this week and I should get started with this year's Christmas Ornaments. This year I am going to do it differently and stitch everyone the same ornament in different colors. I browsed Etsy and found a Quaker Christmas Tree that I liked and asked the family to pick the color they wanted their ornament stitched with.
The first on I stitched was for my grandson! He picked DMC827 and we selected a piece of fabric that everyone's will be stitched on. I thought the floss would be to light but I think they look good together.

And that is all I did on the stitchy front for the past month.
I did get in a couple of books though. I listened to the 3rd book in the Housemaid series, The Housemaid is Watching by Freida McFadden. Right now it is the last book in the series but I think it is supposed to be turned in to either a movie or a TV series.
The other book I listened to was Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson. It was a short book and it might have been a YA book. It was an ok book and I will continue on with the rest of the series.

And that my friends, is that!
I hope to see you at the end of June with another update.
In the meantime, stay safe and keep on stitching.

The gnomes are too cute, Faith. It's a great idea keeping the design the same for the ornaments, however I hope you don't tire of stitching the same design. Let's hope your other family members pick some nice colours. I need to get back to my blackwork too. Sigh so many wips!! LOL

Yes it's time to get the Christmas stitching out again if we want to get ready for Christmas , this year is moving so fast.
Great stitching hugs June .
Hello Faith,
you were very busy in May. Wonderful progress on your wips.
Have a nice month of June.
You had a productive May, Faith. I love the design you have picked for this year's ornaments. Well done on getting the first one stitched and the second one started. Have a fantastic June!
Hello Faith: I like the idea of stitching ornaments this early in the year, I need to get started.
Lovely progress on your works in progress, at book club this week we will be discussing the Housemaid by Mary Kubica, a really scary thriller, thank-you for sharing about the Housemaid Is watching, i will have to read it.

Such cute gnomes, Faith! That looks like a fun project. I've listened to the Freida McFadden Housemaid books, too--quite captivating for sure :) Enjoy the rest of June! ♥
