My Sunday Stitchy Update 04/02/23

Hello Everyone! I hope that you are having a wonderful day. 

I have been working on Dinosaurs and have made some progress. I feel that I will NEVER make  enough progress on this piece though and I will be working on it forever and then some. So here is this week's progress.

So that wraps up the March group event, Monogamous March. I am so glad that I participated in it since it helped me to stitch on this incredibly old WIP! Otherwise, it might still be sitting untouched at the back of the WIP box.

I also stitched up the weekly release of the stitch along.

We are right about at the halfway point of the SAL since there are 27 sections. I wish I had used a darker color thread on this fabric. This fabric (I don't know where it came from) is kind of stretchy and I don't really like that either because I feel that the patterns are not as clear as they could be. But hey, you live, stitch and learn.

So as I mentioned above Monogamous March is over and done with! Now Cindy (the group's admin) has created an event for April! It will be called All One April which will follow the same concept as the March event. So, I have decided that I am going to participate but of course I have to make some exceptions to the rules! 
 

The first change I am making concerns Dinosaurs. I will continue working on this piece for one week each month (probably into eternity). I will start on the first Monday (my start day for each week) of the month so that I can continue making at least a little progress.

The other change is that every Saturday I will stitch the new release for The Blackwork Stitch Along so that I can keep up with it. 

Of course, I will also spin the wheel to see which WIP I should release from captivity for the month!

And that is the plan, for now anyways! I hope that I can stick to the plan. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and reading this extra long post.

I felt that if I put it in writing that I might actually stick to the plan.

I hope to see you next week with another faithful update!

Happy Sunday Everyone!  

I wanted to say Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes. Thankfully, I feel much better now! Now if we could just welcome spring and get rid of the cold weather we will be doing great! 

Since it is still March this week I continued working Dinosaurs.

And I also added Week 12 to the blackwork piece.

And that is it for this week's stitching!

Now I have to figure out next week's stitching. Now the group I am in is planning on doing Monogamous April but I feel like stitching something else for a while and then coming back to this later. Decisions, decisions... what shall it be. 

There is nothing else exciting happening around here so I guess that is it all together for this week.

So thanks for stopping by,

hope to see you again next week!

Hi everybody. I have just a very quick post today because I have not been feeling to well since yesterday. I think I must have the stinking stomach flu and it is not to fun! 

This week I continued to work on both Dinosaurs and The Blackwork SAL. 

This week the first one up is Dinosaurs

Afternoon All, how are you doing today? I hope it is well.

We are doing great over here and our temps are finally back up into the 70s; thankfully! This week I picked a neglected WIP out of "The Box" to work on. I also work on The Blackwork Stitch Along. 

So that makes the first one up

Then for Monogamous March my WIP Pick was Dinosaurs!  I'll bet you guys didn't see that one coming did you?? This is my second oldest WIP that was started in 2012. The first oldest is a kit of Christmas ornaments from 2004!! The chart for the ornaments is not in with the kit so I need to see if I can find where ever I stuck it so I can pull that out too.

This was my starting point 

and this is my progress 03/12/23


So that wraps up this week's stitching!

Well thanks for seeing what I stitched over the past week.
I hope to be back next Sunday with more progress on both of these.

Happy Sunday Everyone! 

I hope your week was a great one. Mine was pretty good. Our weather has been warming up for the weekends and during the week it is chilly and rainy. I hope that with the arrival of spring it will be warm all week and we should start having more daylight hours too. What kind of weather are you having? 

This week found me stitching the week nine section of

I will be bringing out another WIP for the remainder of March as I am participating in Monogamous March with one of my Facebook groups. 

Well, this week I did not make it to cleaning up my WIP Box like I planned. I started it and then I needed to move somethings around in my closet and ended up cleaning out my closet instead. Seems like there are always things to clean out of a closet! I packed up some stuff for the next donation pickup and got rid of some other stuff. I hope to do the WIP Box soon so I can kit up a bunch of stuff.  For now, I am off to stitch a little more.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by,

see you next week with another faithful update!
