My Sunday Stitchy Update 01/31/21

 Good Evening Friends!  I can't believe that January is over already, it seems like it went by quickly. 

I have just a short post this week for you.  This week when I reached into The WIP Box out came one of my oldest pieces!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 08/16/20

 Well I guess they really want us to start using this new blogger so here goes  nothing...

Home schooling started this week for Jacob and he seems to be off to a good start with it. They don't seem to have done a lot of things this week but he seems to be enjoying it so far but what teenager wouldn't want to just roll out of bed in the morning and be at school instead of the whole morning routine of getting to school? I think he is missing the social interaction though but hopefully this virus will get under control one day and we can return to our "normal" days.

This week I decide to put in some work on this old piece. I think it is the oldest one in my WIP Box and it would be awesome to finish it this year but there is a lot to still stitch on it.

Progress 08/16/20

Well that wasn't so bad and I only ran into a problem or two. Does anyone know how to remove the spaces between the lines of text such as the design name and designer I have above the photo? I looked at a few things in the menu bar but unfortunately I just couldn't get it to work. On the text below this paragraph I typed it in a blank page of word and then copied and pasted it from there and it came out just how I wanted it but I really don't want to do that every time I blog. 

Thanks so much for stopping by,

My Sunday Stitchy Update 05/24/20

The weather is getting warmer and it is time for sitting outside (when it is NOT 105) so I hope you all had a great week enjoying the fresh air and getting in plenty of stitching! Sometimes the call of the outside is stronger than the call to stitch.

This week I picked up my Rose of Sharon WIP and I swear every piece I pick up I say "This one is my favorite!" as I stitch on it. I don't know HOW I can have so many favorites, but I do! LOL

I started on the last row of quilt squares (finally) but I know this piece won't be finished anytime soon! All that border around the squares takes T I M E and lots of it!

Hi everyone!

I hope that everyone is well and that if you are considered an essential employee that you are taking extra precautions to stay safe and healthy.

So this week's lucky stitch turned out to be an oldie!

This is what it looked like when I started the week.

So I stitched and stitched and here is it today.

A lot of "fill in the space" which as we all know is boring

and tedious but this page is just about finished! YAY

My Sunday Stitchy Update 10/27/19

Evening Friends!

I hope that everyone has had a fantastic stitchy week! I can't believe that October is coming to an end. It seems as though once we pass Halloween the rest of the year flies by in a blur and before you know it Christmas will be upon us and the year will be over.

I guess it is time for me to search through my Christmas fabric and get those ornaments out of the stitched pile and ready for the tree.

This week I continued working on the Rose of Sharon so I could fill in the missing stitches I found on page one.

Page one is finished - YAY along with a tiny bit of pages three and four. I need to finish the border and it's flowers on page two. Well, it looks like this piece will definitely be carried over to the list for next year!! LOL

Once again, thanks for stopping by

I appreciate each one of you and your comments.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 10/20/19

Hello Friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful week. I know many of you were tired of the heat (I am NOT among that group!) so I hope that autumn has arrived in your neighborhood. Some places in the USA have skipped autumn and seem to have gone straight into winter! I feel bad for them!!

This week because I still had out Jingles from last week (due to laziness?) I worked on the next section and part of the border design on it.

When that was finished I went to "The Box" and picked out the first piece I came to that I haven't seen for a while and it was...

Progress as of 10/20/19

As I was putting it on the q-snap I noticed a bunch of stitches I missed on the first page. WHAT!!  How did that happen???  So I went back and started working on that page filling in the missing stitches.

I will be keeping this piece out for the next week because I am enjoying it and I want to see if I missed anything else. I am afraid that if I put it away I may forget to look for those mistakes next time.

Hi there!

I hope everyone is well. I know a few of you are recovering from the flu so I hope you are feeling better! Thankfully I missed that.

This week the next piece up in the WIP Box was a piece from 2014! It was easy to pick up right where I was because this piece doesn't have many colors or an intricate design.

This is where I was in March of 2014

Sundays Stitchy Update...

Hello everyone - hope you had an amazing week!

It is STILL snowing on and off here though they say it is supposed to reach the mid-50s tomorrow and the mid-40s Tuesday and then darn if snow is not predicted for Wednesday.  Not looking forward to that but at least it gives us a glimmer of hope that SPRING is near!

This week was exciting for me as I received not one, but TWO prize packages that I won thru some blog giveaways!

The first one up is what I won from

Joy at Gadget's Joyful Page

She sent me these five charts and I am already adding two to my list of things to stitch in the NEAR future! 

The next wonderful package I received was from

Kathy over at Gracewood Stitches

So much beautiful fabric and floss!

All I could say when I opened the envelope was

WOW!

I would like to say THANK YOU to both of these ladies, they were far to generous and I truly appreciate everything! They both have some great blogs and if you haven't visited them you should go do that now.

As for my weekly stitching

Sundays Stitchy Update...

Hello everyone - We are still in the mighty grip of WINTER. Just when you finally think the snow is finished, no...it comes back again.  We had a couple of inches out there this morning and the temperatures are bitter cold once again. We are supposed to have more snow this week and it is supposed to be freezing everyday. I am anxiously waiting for warmer days and in my opinion they can't get here fast enough.

This week I finished
