My Sunday Stitchy Update 01/09/22

Evening Everyone! 

This week I am so happy to say that I have my very first finish of 2022!  That is one off the list 😁

Merry Christmas

First Stitch 11/15/21
Finished 01/09/22

I made a couple of small changes which I think helped the letters a little. I also need to add the two buttons but I won't do that until I get to iron it but you can see them in the designer's photo.

I recently joined Clare's Topsy Turvy SAL which is an SAL where you stitch on something "out of season" so that it will be ready when that event happens. You can check it out at the links above. 

This month's theme happens to be Easter and I also have a WIP that fits that theme!  So up next will Easter Row.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

see you next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 01/02/22

 Welcome to 2022! 

I am hoping that this will be a wonderful year for all of us filled with nothing but stitching, immeasurable fabric, never ending floss and needles that never get lost! 

To start the new year I have continued working on Merry Christmas. I have less than half the letters left to go but I am kind of getting bored with it. I am going to continue with it for one more week to see how far I can get. 

Merry Christmas

Progress 01/02/22

And that is it for the start of  the year.
I hope to be back tomorrow or Tuesday with my stats for the month.

As always; thanks for stopping by!
Hope to see you again next week.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/26/21

Merry Day After Christmas.

I hope that Santa was good to you and that he has brought all of you some things that were on your crafty list! 

I am sure many of you are exhausted today; especially if there are small children in your household and they want to play with every single thing they received at the same time! I miss those days... my babies are all grown up and Jacob (my grandson) is 16 already and at the moment not really interested in hanging out with the adults when he could be on the PlayStation with his friends instead!

That's okay though; we know where he is and that he is happy and had a good day!

Well it seems as though I have not shown any stitching progress since the 5th. Sorry about that but finally this week I was up to stitching again.  I have made some pretty good progress on the Merry Christmas piece.

This is how it looked the last time I blogged about it on 12/5/21

This is how it looked on 12/21

As I was stitching it I realized that the two colors they were using for the M were practically the same color! They had 349 (fill) and 3801 (snowflakes) which made it impossible to actually see the snowflakes! I then invited the frog over for a quick visit which ended up taking two days to rip everything out of the M and start it again. Why didn't I notice that before I stitched it?? I have no idea! 

Progress 12/26/21

Now it looks like this where you can actually see the pretty snowflakes all stitched up.  So I have finally finished the word MERRY and plan to at least get started on CHRISTMAS tonight or tomorrow.

Has anyone made stitching plans for 2022?   I would love to read them if you have and you will post them on your Blog. I have seen a couple already and they sound ambitious! I plan on getting mine together and posting in the next couple of days. They are not really exciting but I feel once I write them down I have a better chance of actually accomplishing them.

Thanks for stopping by,

see ya next time!

Welcome everyone!  I hope you had a great week. 

It is December already and I can't believe it or the fact that the year is almost over. 

Someone emailed me a couple of days ago and asked what happened to my ornaments? Were they finished or was I waiting to do a last minute rush trying to get them completed?   That is when I realized I never posted them ready to hang. Here they are

and these are them, the fronts and the backs.

So this week I went back to stitching Merry Christmas.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 11/21/21

Hi Everyone! Hope that you are doing well this evening.

I have another new start to share with you today for Week 3 of the Naughty November SAL.  It is hosted by Rachel from the Ten Hour Stitcher and is designed to get stitchers to have a new start every weekend during November.

This week I started a smaller piece from a new to me designer.

Thanks so much for stopping by,
