My Sunday Stitchy Update 11/24/19

Well first I would like to thank all those who encouraged me to keep stitching Full Bloom (though it didn't take much to put me on that path) because it is now a FINISH!

I started this piece just short of 8 years ago for the Cross Stitch Crazy 2012 Challenge. It had sat in the UFO pile for a very long time and like many of us stitchers we have times when we can barely get motivated to put the floss into the eye of the needle but I am so happy now that I finally finished the stitching!

First Stitch 01/03/12

Finished 11/19/19

I have finished all but three of the pieces started for that challenge. The first one is Rose of Sharon which is close to a finish, the second is Flowers of the Month which I am not sure if I want to finish it or not and the last has been discarded for change or lack of interest.

So now I picked up Jingles and did not quite finish it up.

So now I need to finish up this section and add the bottom border and I will be finished with the stitching! 

I saw a new freebie post on Facebook from Jardin Prive if you are interested.

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

Hello Friends!

I do hope that you have been having some quality crafting time.

If you are in the U.S. are you getting ready for Thanksgiving? Do you cook for your family or go to someone else's home?  My daughter is the Holiday Cook in this house and this year she has decided on Cornish Hens with a couple of sides.

I have been working on one piece for the past two weeks and I am 'thisclose' to having it finished!

Last week when I worked on it this is how

it looked though I didn't post then.

and here is how it looks tonight.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/18/18

Hello friends!

This week was hermitting week but I didn't get to much hermitting in today but I did manage some!
You can sign up to hermit with either the blog group or on Facebook or both!

The next lucky piece to make it out of the WIP Box is something I haven't touched in two years.

This first picture is where it was when I left off 2016

and here it is now!

Progress as of 03/18/18

I didn't get as much stitched as I planned but I think I always have bigger stitching plans than I actually stitch! 

I already peeked at the next piece and it is of prehistoric quality! I think Justine may like it as she has been reminding me about it! 😉

Good Evening Everyone!

This week I worked on one of my long neglected UFOs that I have chosen for my UFO Challenge.

Last time I worked on this piece in 2012 this is how I left it

and this is how it looks now!

If I had one more day this week I could

have finished this section but it's week is

over and now it is time for it to go away.

Tomorrow I plan on starting the 2016 SAL from Palko. I am leaning towards doing it in reds so I will need to look thru my threads and decide on which ones I should use. 

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!
