My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/18/24

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope that you had a wonderful week. It seems to me that 2024 is going by pretty quickly and so I need to catch up with it! 

This week I stitched on a few pieces for my challenge. The first one up was The Enchanted Snowman. This piece is one that goes way back! It was a gift from Deb; a friend of mine who no longer blogs in 2018. I promptly started it but who know what happened. It got pushed to the back of the box to rarely be seen again. The last time I worked on it was in February of 2022.

Progress 02/12/24

244 stitches for the 200 required.

The next thing I worked on was the Fun Every Day calendar tags. This is another oldie but definitely a goodie! I was also so gung ho when I first bought them. They were my 'waiting in the car project' for a while when I was picking up Jacob from school but now I don't really wait in the car! So I thought I should take them to my stitching group and do them there!! So... I was happily stitching away when I discovered a mistake on the one I was stitching! So I started looking at the rest of them because instead of following the chart each time I followed the one I stitched before it. It was only one line on each but wouldn't you know it; they were all wrong. I had to pick them all apart and do them over again. On perforated paper it isn't that much fun!

The left is some of the wrong ones and the one on the right is on it's way to be corrected!
I managed to get 214 stitches in correct this week

And the last one for the week is Valentine! I don't know why but then I look at one like this I always think 'No problem, this one will be quick!' but it never fails; it takes forever!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/04/24

This may be the quickest post ever! My whole house is sick; coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, stuffy nose. and on and on but I am sure you get the picture.  We have all been vaxed so I don't know what is going on other than I am TIRED of this stuff!!!!! 

This week I have stitched a few different things. 

First I added some more to Shades of Gold.

I 'plan' on finishing the bookshelf first and then adding the books and knick knacks when I am done. So far I stitched 392 stitches on this piece toward my goal. 

Then I saw this little cute Valentine piece on the DailyCrossStitch.com page and thought it would be a quick stitch. Why do I EVER listen to myself when I think it will be quick? LOL

I stitched 241 stitches yesterday.

And that is a wrap for today. I have to go make a cup of tea for my throat, find my nasal spray so I can breathe, get some tissues for my nose, take a suppressant for the cough and a get under my warmest blankie for the chill. 

Thanks for stopping by everyone and I hope to
see you under better conditions next week!

Have a wonderful week.
