Sunday's Stitchy Update...

This week I finished the By the Bay Mystery SAL.

I think it turned out cute and I think it is still

available on her website if you want to stitch it up too.

Then I worked on the dreaded sampler...

I actually managed to get in a few

rows of yellow on the moon. 

Looks like this week will be EMS Flowers of the Month.

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another update

Sunday's Stitchy Update...

Well here, it is Sunday again! :)

This week I was not really in the stitching mood but I still found myself putting in a few stitches here and there. 

First up this week was part 3 of the By the Bay Mystery SAL. I finished part 3 and here is how it looked then

and today I started part 4 - got a little done and I will try to get in some more tomorrow.

Also this week's rotation had me stitching on my Grandson's dreaded birth sampler.  I managed to squeeze out a few lines of yellow in the moon.  I worked on it exactly one afternoon for the entire week...

so since I worked so little on it I have decided to keep it out for another week to see if I can get some of that moon finished!  Wish me luck...I have a feeling I may need it!

Sunday's Stitchy Update...

It is the 15th! Yippee…
That means I have stitched on each of my 15 projects for the Cross Stitch Crazy 15 Facebook group and for the Yahoo Group Stitching Sisters! I already posted the first seven so here are the updates for the next eight…five are new starts, two are WIPs and one is a long abandoned UFO from 2005.

On Day 7 I started Lizzie*Kate’s ABCs of Parenting


On the 8th I started Lizzie*Kate’s ABCs of Aging

On the 9th I started stitching Easter Eggs by Anna Waite Designs ~ love this one!

The 10th brought me a bit of a challenge…I started stitching Rose of Sharon by Design Connection and I am NOT to sure I like it. It is supposed to be stitched over two but I decided to stitch it over one and that might be a mistake…I am going to try to stitch some more when I can and see how I feel about it. Maybe I can swap it out for some different fabric?

On the 11th I started stitching His Name is Jesus – didn’t get to far though

The 12th is another Lizzie*Kate design! Boys Will Be Boys from The It’s A Boy Thing Chartpak…love this one too! Seems I must really like L*K Designs

Then I picked up the UFO on the 13th and I so remember why I put it down! I am stitching it over 2 and I am not to good at that! Maybe if I had an evenweave fabric it would seem less stressful? To late now – I am about halfway finished.

On the 14th I continued with the EMS Flowers of the Month SAL I was doing with another group. I am almost finished with May. I already stitched March and April in 2011.

The last chart to round out the 15th is another WIP ~ Dinosaurs! I was terrified of this chart but with a lot of encouragement and direction of many online friends – I am doing it like I would any other project. I just know that this one will take WAY longer than any other I did cuz it is the biggest one I have ever attempted ~ 20 pages ~ YIKES! So far 331 stitches stitched and only 66,169 more to go!!

Thanks for looking at my 15 projects for 2012… come back next Sunday and see what kind of progress I made and leave a comment so I know you stopped by for a peek!
