My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/27/20

 Hello Everyone! 

I hope that you had the most wonderful Christmas this year and that Santa brought you just what you wanted. And now we can move forward to the New Year and hopefully it will a better year than our current one but still with plenty of stitching time for all!

This past week I worked frantically, staying up late to stitch in bed until I dozed off to finish the Snowman Bauble ornament for Christmas morning and I DID IT!! Finished it on the 23rd and FFO'd everything on the 24th. I was so happy.

Christmas Eve was finishing day!


and since I had the machine out I FFO'd this one too

So then I decided to stitch up my niece's ornament. At first it was a much bigger ornament but instead I (very smartly) picked a much smaller one. That way I can get it out in the mail and it won't be to to late since it should have been there before Christmas. This is a freebie from her Facebook page.

To end 2020 here is my ORTament for this year.

If you don't have enough to stitch in 2021 and for those of you who do not follow Loretta at Stitching the Night Away she has published her list of Big List of Cross Stitch SALs to Join in 2021 that she has found in the XS community for you to see. Some are free, some cost something but I am sure they will all be fun and bound to keep you busy!

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching!

I hope to see all of you next year
with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/20/20

 Hi Everyone! Just a real quick post today so I can get back to making those infamous stitches! It was great to see that so many of you already have your 2021 stitching plans ready for the new year. I enjoyed reading them. 

This past week I finished one ornament and then I started another!

So now I have Jacob's ornament finished and I have to work on the Snowman for Tia. The Snowman was actually just a face so before I started working on it I had to make it into the "bauble" so I stitched the same ornament shape and put the face inside of it so that all three ornaments would be the same.

Thanks so much for stopping by,
