My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/03/19

Evening friends!

I hope if you live where the polar vortex hit that your temperatures are starting to warm up again! Where I used to live in Chicago the highs for a few days were below zero! It closed down the city along with most of the midwest; no school, no mail, no flights in or out and all the while the snow kept coming. I must say I have not seen snow in five years and looking at it on TV doesn't make me miss it one bit! So thankful to live where we have warm weather all year round!

Last week I finished stitching the first chart for Jingles and since I had it out I decided to do February's Christmas Ornie SAL section. So far it is stitching up quickly and I love how it looks on this fabric.

I am stitching this series as part of

Kaye's Christmas Ornie SAL

There is lots of great Christmas stitching there

so please click the badge to go over and take a peek!

So since I finished on Friday and usually switch projects on Monday I remembered that a friend loaned me a LK chart that I should probably try to get back to her! So I decided to try to stitch it up over the weekend. As you can see, I didn't make it but hopefully I can get it finished by tomorrow?

Hope I can do it but you know how plans go. I do need to get out the next project on the list though so I need to make some quick Xs (and stay off the internet)!

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 01/27/19

This week I added another one of my new pieces into the rotation.

I wanted to stitch this on a sandy brownish color fabric and of course I have none in my stash. However I do have TONS of white aida! All different counts and sizes and I really want to clear out some, at least the 14 count!

So... I googled (I love googling) how to dye fabric and I came across tea and/or coffee dying. Woohoo sounds like I could be on to something to get that brownish color. So with the help of Tia (my daughter) we got to work and tea dyed some fabric!

This is the finished project.
