My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/27/20

 Hello Everyone! 

I hope that you had the most wonderful Christmas this year and that Santa brought you just what you wanted. And now we can move forward to the New Year and hopefully it will a better year than our current one but still with plenty of stitching time for all!

This past week I worked frantically, staying up late to stitch in bed until I dozed off to finish the Snowman Bauble ornament for Christmas morning and I DID IT!! Finished it on the 23rd and FFO'd everything on the 24th. I was so happy.

Finished 12/23/20

Christmas Eve was finishing day!


and since I had the machine out I FFO'd this one too

So then I decided to stitch up my niece's ornament. At first it was a much bigger ornament but instead I (very smartly) picked a much smaller one. That way I can get it out in the mail and it won't be to to late since it should have been there before Christmas. This is a freebie from her Facebook page.

To end 2020 here is my ORTament for this year.

If you don't have enough to stitch in 2021 and for those of you who do not follow Loretta at Stitching the Night Away she has published her list of Big List of Cross Stitch SALs to Join in 2021 that she has found in the XS community for you to see. Some are free, some cost something but I am sure they will all be fun and bound to keep you busy!

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching!

I hope to see all of you next year
with another faithful update!

YAY, I finished the crazy moose and he is in the mail on the way to his new owner!

I think the snake turned garland turned out pretty good and I am quite pleased with it.

Last Stitch 12/15/17

I have started another ornament on plastic canvas but it doesn't look like anything now except an unconnected circle so I hope to show it next week. Hopefully (do I dare say) it will even be a finish!

A couple of days ago it dawned on me that Christmas is right around the corner.  Next year I really must plan these ornaments better! ha ha ha  I am sure we ALL say that and next year we will be right back to scrambling in the days before the big day!

I am one of those procrastinators so I know I will be in the same situation again next year! LOL

My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/12/17

Well I guess my Sunday update is pretty late this week, here it is Tuesday already!

Last week if you recall I had started working on the last ornament in the 12 Days of Christmas series, but I needed to stop to get my family's annual ornaments for the tree started and finished! 

I started with this one because it has to go out in the mail.

Progress as of 12/12/17

Funny thing about this ornament.  I just "glanced" at the pattern and was thinking it was a Reindeer, ha ha it's not! My daughter pointed out that it is a MOOSE! So I said that's ok, it is a cute moose and went on.  Then while stitching his antlers, I noticed that is a snake on his head and NOT garland like I thought. Oh WOW, now what should I do?!?! So I cut a few stitches off of the snake to make it look more like garland. I hope I was successful because I was over halfway finished at that point. LOL  That will teach me to read EVERYTHING next time I get ready to stitch a pattern; after all this was called "Moose with a snake" (I renamed it) which would have solved ALL my stitching problems up front if I would have just paid attention.

see ya next week with another faithful update!
