My Sunday Stitchy Update 05/18/25

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful week.  The weather here is absolutely gorgeous, it feels like summer already. I had another week of stitching this and that so let me show you what it amounted to! 

First up was Faith Over Fear. It is kind of hard to see because of the light colors I am using on white fabric. I know, it's really not a good color combo but I didn't give it a thought when I picked the colors.

Added 120 stitches on the 12th


Then late afternoon on Tuesday I met a friend at the mall for some stitching and decided that I would take the I Stitch Sampler with me. I wanted to get some of those flowers in the bottom corner added.

Put in 102 stitches on 05/13/25


Next up is one that can be a little difficult sometimes, One Hundred Days of Tiny. The squares are pretty tiny and sometimes the more intricate designs are hard to get it all in that square in a nice and neat way. I often complete the square, then take it out, then do it over again; sometimes more than once!

I ended up with 128 stitches after all that.


Then to wrap up the week of stitching I decided to work on a cheerful piece, The Flower A Day. I always think of this piece as a beautiful explosion of flowers and colors. 

I added 115 stitches to this piece.

And that was all I stitched for the week. Not many stitches, only 500 but I am happy for those. It was a rough week but now we are moving in to a new week, so hopefully it will be a much better one. 

Thank you everyone for stopping by to see what's going on here.

I really appreciate all of you.

Have a wonderful week and 
please stay well and safe and don't
forget to take some time for yourself!

So until next week
keep that needle moving!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/16/25

New Week, New Stitches! YaY!

I hope everyone is doing great. I am doing pretty good; nothing exciting happening, thankfully. 

My needle had some busy times this week and I am happy with the progress that was made. The first thing I worked on was the 2024 Blackwork SAL and I can't wait to work on it again. I completed all of the January fills. 
 

Added in 319 (638) stitches.


After that, I found the Vase of Flowers that had been missing for a couple of months. It had been tucked away with another chart!  So I decided I needed to work on it! All most finished with the background then there is a little backstitch to do.

Added 141 blue stitches!


The next piece I worked on was The Flower A Day. This piece is so colorful that I can't help but smile when I am working on it!  I was wondering how many flowers are actually on this chart though I know I don't want to count them. 

So I added 92 stitches to this piece.


Then it was time for some more Blackwork with The Steady Thread's SAL. You can really see the design coming through now.. I think it must take a lot of patience to be a designer. 

  
Added in 91 (184) stitches.


Next up we have Faith Over Fear.  When I started it I changed the green to pink and forgot to write down which pink! I had to to thru a hand full of pinks to figure it out which one I used. I think I picked to correct one, at least it looks like it. I also made sure I wrote down the which number I used! 

Added 136, mostly white, stitches. Hope you can see them.


And finally, to wrap things up; I worked on My Enchanted Snowman! I can even see the progress made! I think I finally got the hang of this one or maybe because I didn't have so many color changes but I really enjoyed stitching on it this time. I guess we will see what happens next time. 

 
Added 227 stitches in.

Well it is LATE here and I need to go to sleep! So I guess I will close for now. Thank you once again for stopping by. I appreciate it. I am also making my way through my inbox and I am finally (hanging head in shame) answering emails. If I could only get two or three more hours in each day for a while I could easily catch up with everything I want to do.

Well friends, stay safe and I hope to see you next weekend!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 01/19/25

Well we have FINALLY had some chilly days here in Arizona! Overnight freeze conditions to and what the news always tells us is "Don't forget the three Ps; wrap your Pipes, cover your Plants and bring in your Pets!"  I, for one am not that happy for the colder weather and I am already looking forward to summer! I hope you are not having to cold of a week though January is pretty frosty.

For me this was another week for Brringo and then the upcoming week will be the last until the next game which I think is in September.

So let's get busy with this week's prompts! 

The number called was 19 "Stitch something with words." That lead me back to the Winter SAL I have been working on.

Winter SAL
Designer - Alyssa
  
I added 338 stitches to this one.


The next number I had to work on was 3 which was "Stitch something from a non-U.S. designer".  I picked my 2024 PP Blackwork SAL from Peppermint Purple but I will show that one a little further down on the page. 


After that it was number 17! "The Stitch something that relates to your first, middle, or last name." It was an unusual prompt but I have seen my name has in a million places over my lifetime. When I was a young child I thought God had named every church after me!

Faith Over Fear
 
It wasn't much of a start but I did get in 81 stitches.


The next prompt was a super easy one! Number 8's prompt was "Choose your favorite movie – stitch on a project of your choice for the length of the movie." Well my favorite movie is Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and I love these two actors as well. While I watched it I stitched something from Brooke's Books. When I found out Brooke passed away from cancer I felt the need to browse the charts I had from her and found this cutie in my stash. Unfortunately I could not find a finished photo of it so you will have to wait! 

Stitchie Witchie
Brooke's Books
I put in 141 stitches on her fancy hat!


For the number 4 I had to "Roll the dice!" I don't remember what that means, what I had to do or why I picked the chart I did but I worked on the constellation for Virgo. 

Virgo Constellation
DailyCrossStitch.com

This chart was a LOT of counting over and over again
because of all the blank space but I got it and 85 stitches!


The next number was 12 and I needed to "Stitch something that is monochromatic!" Well I just happen to have one or two of those so I picked the Peppermint Purple Blackwork SAL because I wanted to try to finish the borders on it! 

2024 PP Blackwork SAL
 
Combined with the prompt above I had 331 stitches
and the borders are finished!


The number and prompt for Saturday was 13; "Stitch something that was gifted to you or that will be gifted to someone else."  Sooner or later this is going to be a gift for my daughter.

  
I only managed 67 stitches last night because I was exhausted!


Which finally brings us to today, Sunday! The lucky number was 7 with the prompt "Stitch something that someone else chooses for you." Though when I am stitching this piece I don't feel so lucky! Though every time Jacob picks something for me; this is it! 

Dinosaurs
Flumpkin X Stitchers
  
Only managed 30 stitches in over an hour!
It seems like 30 stitches is 30 colors though I know that's not right but it is close. 


So that is all the stitches for the week. Thanks for coming to look at them!

I hope you had a successful crafty week as well.

Stay Safe and Stay Happy
and I will meet you here again next week!

ps... I am almost caught up on the emails, sorry it is taking me so long
