My Sunday Stitchy Update 05/12/24

Welcome to my place today! 

To the Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Sisters, Brothers, Aunts, Uncles, and Friends along with all the others who stepped in as a mother or caretaker of children...

H A P P Y   M O T H E R S   D A Y !
Know that you are truly appreciated.

This week I spent my time stitching on the following projects. 

My Christmas Ornaments for my family the year. I am going to have to start getting some more stitches in on these if I want them finished for Christmas! 

Small Christmas Ornaments

Santa

Durene Jones

Progress 05/06/24

211 stitches added

Then I picked up my Blackwork piece to stitch next. This is the second page finished out of six. I think all the rest of the pages are partials.

2024 Blackwork SAL

Peppermint Purple

Progress 05/09/24

203 stitches added

Then I spent a couple of days working on Home is Where the Dog Is! I kept messing up the stitching and having to frog over and over again! I just couldn't get the words on the bottom to line up right. 

Home is Where the Dog Is

Daily Cross Stitch

Progress 05/10/24

122 stitches added

So that is it on the stitching front! I added a total of 536 stitches this week. I was in a stitching slump for part of the week and didn't even want to stitch. I was only putting in enough stitches each day so I wouldn't break my streak, but I think I am over it now!

I hope you had a great week and enjoyed some stitching time too!

I hope to see you again next week

with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 09/10/23

Happy Sunday Everyone! I hope that you are having a relaxing weekend! Our temperatures here in Arizona have spiked into the low 100s again. It feels like they will never end this year!

I finished stitching some ornaments this week.

Then Tia put french knots in all their eyes for me (thanks)

and here is the whole bunch all together!

FINISHED 09/08/23

I still have to find some fabric/felt to back them with and finish them off completely so they will be ready for the Holiday. I have picked up another WIP to work on but I will post about that piece next week.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

see you next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 08/06/23

I hope that all of you had a wonderful week! It is still very hot here in Tucson. Including today we have has a streak of 52 days of 100 degrees or more and they don't see a change for the next ten days unless we get a good storm. We will see what Mother Nature has in store for us! 

Well I feel like this has been a kinda slow stitching week for me. It has taken me the entire week to stitch Santa even though his hat was already stitched and he is a small guy (ornament wise). So I don't know why it took so long.

Progress 08/06/23

This guy seriously needs some back stitch, you can't really see his features without it but I think that I need a little break from him before I work on him some again.

It looks like the next one up will be the bear and hopefully he will go quicker!

Well thank you for stopping by and

I hope to see you again next week!

Have a great day!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 07/18/21

Hello everyone. I hope you are having a good week. We are still having some rain but it seems to mostly come in the evenings or over night. Some of our dogs (one in particular) is very scared of the storms and will wake up everyone in the house with his barking and howling at the thunder. It can make for a long night but we love him so we comfort him until it is over.

This week I did the backstitch and finished up the Reindeer and I think I love him!

Once he was finished I started on the next ornament; Santa!

I would like to say he is a little under halfway stitched but it maybe wishful thinking on my part!

I am stitching Christmas ornaments in July because
I joined this SAL that is very kindly being run by
Rachel, The Ten Hour Stitcher!
