My Sunday Stitchy Update 09/22/24

Happy Fall Everyone! I hope that you have had a great week. Fall weather will be moving in soon and the hot days will be fading away until next year and I am getting sad already.

Last week there was nothing exciting going on and I think my life is FINALLY calming down and getting back to where it belongs ~ thank goodness. So, with that said...let me show you my curren stitches!

Went to continue working on February but I found out it was started in the wrong place then I couldn't get the floss out so I started the January square instead. That was not a fun way to end the week! 

whew....that is it for the stitching!
Hope I didn't bore you to much!!

I hope to have a lot of these stitch packed weeks so
come back next week and see what I have accomplished!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/17/24

Hello People!  I hope you are all having a wonderful week! It was one of "those" weeks for me. I really wanted to stitch but I just couldn't get myself motivated. I am hoping that next week I will be better at picking up my needle and thread so I can get busy!

Well, let me show you what I did manage to stitch.

First up is Home is Where the Dog is. 

Home is Where the Dog is
Daily Cross Stitch
  

Progress 03/12/24

211 stitches added

This is one of the pieces I stitch when I go to the cross stitch get together since it is a pretty easy stitch that only requires one color. 


I also stitched Lucky Shamrocks!

Progress 03/15/24
Only 72 little Xs

This is another one that is an easy stitch that doesn’t require any real concentration since I just have to fill in the Shamrocks. Though I must say the “lucky” shamrocks did not bring me any luck! I decided to play the Powerball since it was over $600 million but I didn’t even get one stinking number (as usual)! 

Then I moved on to the Peppermint Purple SAL.

2024 Blackwork SAL
Peppermint Purple

Progress 03/13/24
260 stitches as you have to count
blackwork as two stitches for one.

Right now, I am only working on the border (or frame) of the piece. I will start adding in the fills once I am finished with this part. This is the kind of design I really enjoy stitching!

This is a free yearlong SAL available on Facebook!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I appreciate your visit and comments.

I hope you  will come by again soon.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/10/24

Hi Everybody! I hope that everyone is doing well. I almost forgot to post today but here I am just in time! 

This has been one of those crazy weeks that started off with my car getting a flat tire! So we ordered some new tires for her. They say they take a week to arrive so they schedule an appointment for putting them on a week after you order them. So it was a long week of driving on a spare and worrying every minute that something will go wrong. Fortunately, I had safe travels and she has new shoes on all the way around. 

Now on to the stitching! 

This week I started off with the I Stitch Sampler. I ended up having to do the S twice because I miscounted when stitching it.

Next up I started my Lucky Shamrocks. I decided to do the outlines so I can take it to our stitching group and I can just stitch while we talk and talk and then talk some more! This will NOT be finished by St.Patricks Day!
