My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/21/25

Evening Everyone

Uh oh, Christmas is really sneaking up all of a sudden! I have to hurry up and get finished. The ornaments always seem to take me so long or maybe it is because it doesn't get cold where I live and so I don't realize that Christmas is here!  Trust me, I don't miss the cold but it does help move you along once you realize it is winter. 


So this week I FINISHED stitching the Santa chart, thank goodness. 

Santa 3D Ornament

The World of Cross Stitching

Personally, I think he turned out pretty cute! 

This week I put in the last 239 stitches.

So I still need one more ornament for my grandson. So I was flipping through some old Just Cross Stitch magazines and found Santa's Apron. I showed my daughter and we decided would be perfect for him since he is always cooking and baking.

Always Time To Stitch
 

Only got in one day on this new start but added 145 stitches.

Then on Saturday I assembled the 3D ornaments! They were pretty easy to do and I LOVE them! I like them so much, I may look for more to do! LOL

And that is that for the week.

This week I need to get Santa's Apron finished and I will be ready for Christmas. Are you all ready? 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my work for the week. 

Have a safe and wonderful week and I hope to see you next Sunday!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
I hope you are on Santa's good list.

Hello Everyone! This week I have a new start to show you, another ornament! 

This week I started on the Snowman 3D Ornament. I was having a hard time with it because they released it as a very small freebie chart! It makes it hard to see the squares and the symbols for the colors. I kept trying to enlarge the picture which only made it blurry. Then I decided to take photos with my phone of smaller sections of the chart and that worked! YAY I am still copying it over to a blank piece of paper though, so I don't have to strain to see what color I need next.

I put in 148 stitches this week.

Sorry,  I could not find a finished picture of the snowman.

At the Mall this week, I am stitching the 2024 Blackwork SAL. I hope to fill in the row I am working on and maybe start the one on top of this one. If not, I guess it will have to wait until next time so I can spin the wheel and pull something else out of the WIP Box.

Annual Blackwork SAL

Peppermint Purple

Designer - Clare

This week I added 301 stitches.

I think it is about halfway finished.

So that is it for the week, next week I plan on stitching the same two pieces; with hopes of getting in lots of Xs.  This week I would also like to say THANK YOU, KAREN! (no blog). She sent me a few more of the 3D Christmas ornaments and some other charts that she had doubles of. I love them, the gnome and elf are adorable and I appreciate them!! 

So, believe it or not, I am out of words to say! LOL ~ that hardly ever happens. Maybe, I am just tired. The days of 100+ degrees makes me sleepy. But trust me, it is still better than the cold weather, 

Well thanks a bunch for stopping by my space.

I do hope you will come back soon.

Take care and please stay safe!

Hi there! I hope everyone had a great week. It is pretty good here. We are still in the 100s with very small amounts of rain here and there. This will be a very quick post, even though I have really been stitching and I have a finish to show for it, finally! 

The first stitch I have for you is the Quilt Block Sampler! I am so happy to finally have it finished and I love how the variegated floss turned out on it. Thank you to everyone for all your comments on this piece over the time I have been stitching it, I think looking at those comments helped me finally get to the end.

Stitching the Night Away

Loretta Oliver

Added the last 185 stitches on 07/11/25.

I also worked on the Reindeer Ornament this week. I did manage to put in all the cross stitches and some of the back stitches but last night my eyes were to tired to continue. I do hope to have all the stitching finished on this one this week, so I can start the next ornament. I won't FFO them until closer to Christmas so I can mail this one right out. I tried to draw my own penguin for the missing ornament I need but I see that I am not really very good at drawing!

This week I added 430 stitches.

Thank you for stopping by!
I appreciate it and hope to see you next week.

Stay safe and keep on stithcing!
