My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/10/19

Happy Sunday Everybody!

I hope everyone had a great and hopefully snow free week! Though I do hear that snow is in the forecast again but I guess it is winter.

So last week I started working on a Lizzie*Kate Snippet that was only supposed to take a couple of days. Well that plan didn't work out but it is finished now! Yay!!

Snippet

First Stitch 02/02/19

Finished 02/06/19

So next comes the dreaded question... "what should I do with it now?" Well I thought maybe I should make it into a pillow ornament and hang it from my shelf of 'things' in my room. Hmmm...Good idea I tell myself!

Now the hunt is on! I need some fabric for the back. I was thinking something flowery but I don't have any in my stash. I am trying NOT to spend money on XS stuff this year (though I did buy an Etsy chart for $1.50, thanks Rachel!) So I decided to use some scrap aida I have. Then another thought pops in my head. Whenever someone read what I was stitching I would tell them 'and that's me!' so I decided to stitch that on some aida and use it for the back! 

I used the same border from the L*K design and looked through the letters to see what I could use. Most of them where there already; thank goodness, but I had to design a couple to fit in with the other lettering.

That brings me to the next step with this finish and a new SAL!

Rachel over at Ten Hour Stitcher has started a new SAL. It is called the Fully-Finished Gallery SAL. It is designed to encourage us to move things from our Finished Pile to our Fully Finished Pile. It will also be a place for us to display our finishes and drool over other people's finishes that have been completed during the last month. So I just HAD to finish this today so I could participate in the SAL!

And now presenting my fully finished

I would like to encourage you to check out the Fully-Finished Gallery SAL; even of you don't have one to share this month. I think there will be lots of gorgeous pieces for you to enjoy.

Sorry I didn't mean to talk so much! LOL 

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!

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)!
