My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/18/24

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope that you had a wonderful week. It seems to me that 2024 is going by pretty quickly and so I need to catch up with it! 

This week I stitched on a few pieces for my challenge. The first one up was The Enchanted Snowman. This piece is one that goes way back! It was a gift from Deb; a friend of mine who no longer blogs in 2018. I promptly started it but who know what happened. It got pushed to the back of the box to rarely be seen again. The last time I worked on it was in February of 2022.

Progress 02/12/24

244 stitches for the 200 required.

The next thing I worked on was the Fun Every Day calendar tags. This is another oldie but definitely a goodie! I was also so gung ho when I first bought them. They were my 'waiting in the car project' for a while when I was picking up Jacob from school but now I don't really wait in the car! So I thought I should take them to my stitching group and do them there!! So... I was happily stitching away when I discovered a mistake on the one I was stitching! So I started looking at the rest of them because instead of following the chart each time I followed the one I stitched before it. It was only one line on each but wouldn't you know it; they were all wrong. I had to pick them all apart and do them over again. On perforated paper it isn't that much fun!

The left is some of the wrong ones and the one on the right is on it's way to be corrected!
I managed to get 214 stitches in correct this week

And the last one for the week is Valentine! I don't know why but then I look at one like this I always think 'No problem, this one will be quick!' but it never fails; it takes forever!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 04/14/19

Evening Friends!

This week I brought out my Halloween piece to finish up the second section of the banner. If you remember last time I was stitching this section the frog came for a visit which you can see here and I had to rip out a whole section. Well this time the frog returned to the other side of the piece! I was just stitching along when boom... I noticed that I stitched parts of the W two stitches to far to the left. So of course here I go ripping it out so I can do it over. I think that maybe I am not supposed to add these ingredients to the recipe? However, I am determined to get them into the recipe so I will TRY to continue without anymore visits from the dreadful frog. Hopefully this section will be finished correctly by my next post!!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/24/19

Well this was a weird week here in Tucson!

We have sunshine on an average of around 300 days a year but this week we had snowfall! Yes you read that right - it snowed here! It snowed for about six or seven hours but it never amounted to more than what you see here in there pictures.

Thank goodness it all melted in the afternoon though it stayed kinda chilly for a couple of days but we are headed back into the 70's next week; thank goodness!  I did not move here to Tucson for cold weather! 

Then I was stitching away and I was making great progress when I noticed that in this section I added an empty row to the stitching. Since they are letters there is no way to work around it soooo a frogging we shall go.

I then decided that since I obviously can't count I would stitch it letter by letter to avoid any more mishaps!

Well as you can guess by the next picture that didn't work either! Now I missed a row of stitching! UGH... the frog was back! This time I had to rip out all the yellow and purples and start on the newt again! 

Well here is what I ended up with today!

Horrific Halloween
Section Two of Six

Progress as of 02/24/19

Luckily for me it is only a six part series so I don't HAVE to finish a section a month (which was my goal) in order to have it finished by Halloween thank goodness because right now I think I am tired of stitching this one today!

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

and listening to my whining

see ya next week with another faithful update!
