My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/29/19

on Monday 12/30!

I was going to post last night but when I took the picture of my 'finish' I realized I did not finish the back stitch! So - back on to the q-snaps it went and I finished it up today.

So without further ado; here is my last finish for 2019!

First Stitch 07/01/19

Finished 12/30/19

And finally here is my 2019 ORTament

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and Santa was good to you. I did not ask for any XS this year from Santa but I still received some DMC and this DMC Reindeer kit from Jacob.

I did ask Santa for this pill organizer though after

I saw it on FaceBook and he brought it to me!

and I converted it to a Needle Organizer!

I have packs of needles all over the place and I hope that this will help me get them gathered all in one place and sorted by their sizes. The needles actually fit pretty good in here!

This time of the year is always so exciting because I get to plan the new things to stitch for the next year! I have been planning and replanning and then adjusting the projects time and again on my 2020 list of things I must put some stitches in. I THINK I finally have it finished (especially now that 2020 is days away) and am almost ready to reveal it.

If you have not planned your list yet or are still looking for things to add to your list Loretta had this list of 2020 SALs on her site and maybe you will find something there? I love to look at all the SALs and some I think ooohhhhh I want to do that and others I think well who in the world wants to stitch that! hahaha Anyways you can find the list here and I hope you enjoy browsing it!

Well if I don't talk to YOU again before the end of the year I want to wish you a very safe, happy and healthy New Year full of plenty of time for you and whatever is important to you and also time to do all you love; especially cross stitching ;)

Thank you all for another year of friendship, comments, suggestions and encouragement and I am looking forward to doing it all again next year!

Thanks for stopping by,

see ya next time!

Hello Friends!

I hope that everyone is well and that your needles have been smoking hot! Mine have just had a slow burn lately but at least it is something.

I have been working on the Hinzeit piece and it goes pretty fast when there is actually time to  work on it. I am more than halfway through with it.

My Sunday Stitchy Update 07/07/19

Hi there Friends!

I hope that you all had a great week and if you are in the US that you were able to see some fireworks on the fourth.

Well first off I have a very generous give away to share with you! RJ and Mary over at Stitching Friends Forever are having their Annual Give-a-way that is full of all kinds of fabulous goodies! It is open to all who want to enter with a pdf chart going to an international winner instead of the goodie box.

If you haven't already entered then you should go on over and check out the give away and their blog as long as you are there!! They always have great posts and lots of finishing ideas for you to see.

This week I started stitching on something new. I was emailing with a friend earlier this week when it dawned on me that I still have not started a few pieces I had planned for 2019. So I decided to get busy with that right away! LOL

So I started this one!

First Stitch 07/01/19

Progress as of 07/07/19

 I made a few changes. Of course this fabric looks white here but it is actually more of  very pale yellow so the colors ecru and khaki don't show up when you stitch them. I substituted white for the ecru and a gold for the khaki and it seems to work well.  Also I left out the black and white stitches from the border. 

This was how it looks with the black and white filled in on the border. When I look at this image I feel as though the hearts are not visible. All I can see in the black and white is something that looks like a teepee and I can't "unsee" it! What do you think; fill it in or not?

Well I guess I need to get busy with my monthly stitches. I hope to be back with those updates next week. 

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!
