My Sunday Stitchy Update 01/14/18

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I hope everyone is still stitching away on their plans for the year! I always love the beginning of the year as it is full of excitement and hope of finishing lots of projects!

First up, a finish!

Well Hello There!

January

Designer - Hands On Design

First Stitch 01/07/18

Last Stitch 01/11/18

I love this series because they are such quick stitches.

Next up is a one of my new starts for the year.

Christmas Rules

Designer - Lizzie*Kate

First Stitch 01/12/18

Progress as of 01/14/18

I don't know if you can see the start of a snowman over there on the left right above the snow? I think I am about to rip him out and change the color to B5200 the DMC Bright White. Right now it is a cream color and I didn't think of a floss toss before I started. At least it is a quick and easy fix but I will probably still use the DMC 712 for the letters because they will be boxed in with other colors.

Normally I switch projects on Mondays but I am keeping this out since I started it late in the week and I want to rip out the snowman while it is on my mind!

Next weekend is hermiting weekend! YAY So be ready to hermit and stitch the weekend away and I will be looking forward to your hermitting posts!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 01/07/18

Hello all!

I hope your 2018 is off to a great start in every way. Mine seems to be as I have been busy stitching, organizing and planning!

My first finish for the new year is...

12 Days of Christmas

Day 12

Twelve Drummers Drumming

Designer - Margaret Sherry

First Stitch 11/28/17

Last Stitch 01/02/18

and here is another finish!

Well Hello There!
December 
Designer - Hands On Design

First Stitch 01/03/18
Last Stitch 01/07/18

I also organized my WIPs for the New Year and cut new fabric for what I plan on starting. Here is my WIP Box all nice and neat for the new year.

On the front of the box the "First Out, Last In" is a reminder to myself NOT to go digging thru the box for what I want to stitch. The only exception to that will be things that have a monthly goal like the Christmas Ornie SAL. I plan on stitching L*K's Christmas Rules which does not really fit neatly into the themes but Kaye has graciously allowed me to join again this year! Yay, hope that helps me stay on schedule with that piece!

If you are interested in joining the

Christmas Ornie SAL for 2018

please click on the icon below and join the fun!

Speaking of SALs, if any of you are still looking for an SAL

to join for 2018 Loretta has made a list here on her page. 

Stitching the Night Away SALs to Join!  

Good luck at only joining one. I am still looking over the list "just in case" I don't have enough in my WIP Box as it is!

Well now I am off to start Well Hello There! January.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 11/12/17

Oh my goodness, can you believe that last week I totally forgot to mention that I am featured as

The Blogger of the Week!

Jo of Serendipitous Stitching features a new blogger every week or so and it was my turn to have my interview published. Jo also runs tons of Blog Hops throughout the year as well as the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL; she is a very busy lady!

I guess I forgot when I was doing my big Happy Dance!  Go on over and check it out and find out more about me although I usually tell it all anyways! LOL

Now for the stitching...

This week I have not one but two quick finishes!

Hello Everyone!

Nothing much new here except that my grandson has started back to school this week. That puts us back in our regular routine, which can be a very good thing.

Last Stitch 07/21/17

I am getting much better and faster with the buttons. The first month it took me forever trying to make sure they were lined up and evenly spaced and I dreaded them. This month I just zipped right through them! 

And now I am back to this...BLUE!

Progress as of 07/23/17

I am just about the finished with the yellow and then on to filling it in with the blue. The end is in sight!!

I got some new Needle Minders this week too from

The Everyday Stitcher. 

I think they might be my newest addiction; you know cuz I needed one! ha ha  I still have more on order from her.

She is on Facebook and has an Etsy store if you want to check her out. Her prices are very reasonable and so are her shipping fees.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 06/11/17

Hello Friends!

Hope everyone is doing great and was able to find time to do some crafting this week.

This week I went to do some sewing (first time since we have been in this house) and discovered one of the plate covers is missing - BOO! So I will try to get to the Sewing and Vacuum store and see if they have the part I need or else I will have to order it from Brother online. But then you know what happens...you browse the Brother website and a new machine just happens to catch your eye - LOL I am by no means a great seamstress but maybe with a new machine I would improve?  LOL

Anyways in the meantime, this week I had a quick finish! A couple of months ago I joined the Hands On Design – Well Hello There! Club and I like to stitch it up as soon as it arrives in my mailbox. They are really quick and fun stitches.

Well Hello There!

First Stitch 06/08/17

Last Stitch 06/10/17

I will be gathering all the things I need to finish these

so they can be mounted on the wooden plaque soon! 

Today I started the next month's ornament for the

Christmas Ornament SAL I also joined this year.

12 Days of Christmas

Day 6

Six Geese A Laying

Designer - Margaret Sherry

Progress as of 06/11/17

Why did I EVER pick white fabric for these designs? The goose is of

course, mainly white! It makes it a bit of a struggle but I am managing.

This is a great SAL for me because it encourages me to stitch up ornaments for our tree.

Evening Everyone!

I hope you all had a fantastic week and that warmer weather is finding your neighborhood!

Lately I haven't had the stitchy bug but I received the "Well Hello There!" kit for May and just had to stitch it up. These are quick stitches, the hardest part for me is attaching the buttons and trying to get them in a straight line! Well, here is my finished project.

Well Hello There!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 04/23/17

Evening Friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful week full of crafting time!

Earlier in the week I stitched up this quick piece. I joined the monthly club at Just Another Button Company where they will send you the material, DMC, a needle and buttons for each month. They sent all the charts in a booklet with this first chart.

Well Hello There!
