My Sunday Stitchy Update 07/27/25

Hello Everyone! This week I have a new start to show you, another ornament! 

This week I started on the Snowman 3D Ornament. I was having a hard time with it because they released it as a very small freebie chart! It makes it hard to see the squares and the symbols for the colors. I kept trying to enlarge the picture which only made it blurry. Then I decided to take photos with my phone of smaller sections of the chart and that worked! YAY I am still copying it over to a blank piece of paper though, so I don't have to strain to see what color I need next.

I put in 148 stitches this week.

Sorry,  I could not find a finished picture of the snowman.

At the Mall this week, I am stitching the 2024 Blackwork SAL. I hope to fill in the row I am working on and maybe start the one on top of this one. If not, I guess it will have to wait until next time so I can spin the wheel and pull something else out of the WIP Box.

This week I added 301 stitches.

I think it is about halfway finished.

So that is it for the week, next week I plan on stitching the same two pieces; with hopes of getting in lots of Xs.  This week I would also like to say THANK YOU, KAREN! (no blog). She sent me a few more of the 3D Christmas ornaments and some other charts that she had doubles of. I love them, the gnome and elf are adorable and I appreciate them!! 

So, believe it or not, I am out of words to say! LOL ~ that hardly ever happens. Maybe, I am just tired. The days of 100+ degrees makes me sleepy. But trust me, it is still better than the cold weather, 

Well thanks a bunch for stopping by my space.

I do hope you will come back soon.

Take care and please stay safe!

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 09/03/23

Hello There! I hope that you are having an awesome weekend! This weekend in the States we have the labor day holiday on Monday so it is a long weekend for us. It also marks the unofficial end to summer, unfortunately! When I was younger it also signaled the start of the new school year. I liked going back to school for the most part. New clothes, new school supplies, new classroom, new teacher, and new things to learn ~ what's not to like! How about you? How did you like the start of a new school year? 

Well on to the stitching part of the week... 

This week I was able to finish putting all the stitches in the Snowman so now all of them have been stitched and are in need of their backstitch. Then I will almost be finished with the ornaments for this year, finally.

All stitched up! 09/02/23

I hope to get the backstitch finished on the others this week!

Next year I plan on finding another way to get the family ornaments stitched up. I think if I do them gradually through the year it might work out better for me. They will probably take just as long but I am hoping it won't seem as long and overwhelming if I break them down in smaller blocks of time. I don't know if that is true, but I will see. That means I have to start hunting down some ornaments soon!

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 08/27/23

Welcome Friends!  This week has been a pretty quiet and lazy week so I am sure this will be a short but sweet post about my stitching. 

I was able to get in some stitching on the ornaments and I even finished the stitching on the Bird.

The Snowman is the last one of the set! Once this one is stitched I will backstitch all of them and get them ready to hang on the tree. I estimate another two weeks (I hope) to complete them fully.

I hope that you have a fabulous week!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

see you next week with another faithful update!

Next up is the Penguin and he is the last of the ones I HAVE to stitch. I am not going to say it won't take to long because every time I say that they seem to take forever!

Well that is it for today,

I hope to see you again next week
for another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 08/01/21

Hello Friends! Here it is August already. This year seems to be moving fast all of a sudden. I guess it is all the returning to "normal" again.

I am still working on Christmas in July and will probably continue thru August; at least most of it. The FB group I joined has extended the SAL at least until October for Halloween!

This week I started working on a Snowman which is the third of four I am doing. He has a large section of white stitches coming up and of course it is on white fabric but he is looking kinda cute already.
