Augustu 18th Monday Update

 Where is time going so fast?? Wow How is it August 18th. Another Monday update. So crazy. I'm going totally insane haha. My latest flosstube was just duh haha. Oh well. We know me by now haha.

Monday was a wash out. I hate technology. Of course need it for everything I love doing haha. 

Tuesday finished the August section of Along the Nesting Boxes by Jardin Prive...

 

4 months left to do. How?!? I juve love this one. I will actually miss it when it's finished. 

After that I spent time on my loudest screaming WIP. Summer Time by NY Dreamer. I really want to finish this one. So I worked on it Tue, Wed, and Thur. Added 901 across the bottom...

I reluctantly had to put it down. Friday was back to the Extraordinary Birds SAL by Lola Crow. The 2025 SAL. My first to join....

2 more to be released. I am still way behind on Feat 4. That's okay I enjoy every slow slow stitch haha. I'm working on the Cassowary now on the left side. The one cut in half at the moment haha. 

Saturday and Sunday was Yggdrasil. I added 482 more. Finished page 3. Now 4.2% complete haha.  

I also had some haul. On my flosstube I shared my Luminous Fiber Arts Mystery Stitching box I received. Love it all. I also was forced to get the new Mill Hill Jim Shore gnomes...

LOVE THEM!!!

Plus this seasonal Yggdrasil a fellow flosstuber found... 

I also got the new Witchy Stitcher book from Amazon. So a lot of new choices for projects which is completely something I didn't need haha. 

Okay I'm off. Have a wonderful week ahead. Love yourself. Smile. Stitch all the things!!!

August 4th Monday Update

 Hello Blogworld. Let's see what I've been working on since last update.

Monday and Tuesday I started the cute Gift Bag Ornaments that I got from the destash group. Lisa and me had a Vintage Christmas Kit start. Jeremiah picked out the snowman bag first...

Wednesday I pulled out the last piece I needed for my July Challenge. Worked on it Thursday too. When I think of Summer by Puntini Puntini...

After that I worked on Jeremiah's Tiny Decision spin which was Happy Camper Mill Hill Kit. I got a sad 31 stitches added....it was a bad mental focus week last week...

Friday was back to the Birds SAL finally... 

I finished Feat 3 finally. There are 4 more feats being released....maybe in 5 years I'll be caught up haha. Oh well. 

Saturday we did corn so no stitching. Sunday I got a sad 100 added to Yggdrasil...

 But look greens for the tree!! Wohoo. Love it. Pretty soon I will be done with page 3 and back to the confetti border haha. That's okay it's so much fun to work on.

Hugs. Love yourself. Smile. Good luck stitching all the things! 

July 28th Monday Update

 Hello anyone still here haha. I mostly update for myself and a teeny few readers haha. I had fun having a Christmas in July week mostly last week. 5 of my 7 projects were Christmas at least.

So let's see what I worked on...

Monday was a no stitch life day. Tuesday I got started on Luminous Fiber Arts Trick or Treat for Adelaide's bday #orangefabricHalloweenSAL. I'm using WDW Envy and 32ct Pumpkin gorgeous fabric for this one...

1 day and 530 stitches in. Love it. Doing them individually. Really love the way the green looks at the orange which of course won't photograph well at all haha. 

Wednesday was time for 2 weeks in Peppermint Purple SAL...

32ct Platinum Lugana for this one. Weeks 29 & 30 added now. I really enjoy working on this one. Thanks Faith for telling me about it.

After that was my first Christmas spin from Jeremiah. Christmas Lantern. A Mill Hill Kit. I actually ended up finishing this after 295 more stitches... 

Added to my finishes tab above if you would like more information. Thursday Christmas Truck was spun and I fell in love with it this time...

 This is a Vervaco kit and I added 500 stitches to the natural Aida that came with the kit...

Friday was A Type of Christmas by Erin Elizabeth. Added 363... 

Saturday was Noel Gnomes by Jardin Prive. Added 266 after having a fun family day out...

This one is begging to be finished soon. 

Sunday was Creepy Christmas Village by Lola Crow.... 

Love this ornament set. Just soo cute.

So it was a fun full stitching week. Horrible hot still in Indiana. Extreme Heat Warning. Fun. That does lead to lots of stitching time though. Even the dog doesn't want to go out. I don't blame him. I hope everyone has a great week ahead. Love yourself. Good luck stitching all the things. 

July 21st Monday Update

 So much to talk about. Please head over to my Flosstube to watch a full coverage video. If you are interested. Link on the right side.

 Let's see what I worked on last week...

Monday and Tuesday was Yggdrasil days. Added 561 total to it...

 I have reached the top of the tree and I'm so excited to see some greens or whatever to go in.

Wednesday was time for the doomed Summer Quaker by Primrose Cottage. After last week the huge section that I miscounted this time I almost run out of fabric on the bottom right side. I don't know why this piece sure doesn't want stitched haha. Using DMC 125 for this one...

 I should have enough to finish into a pillow at least. Crazy mistakes with this one.

 Thursday was a kitting day. 

 Friday was Ragnarok my new Long Dog Sampler to stitch along with a friend's birthday. She was started a new Long Dog. Using 3818 for this one...

 Saturday and Sunday I attended my first Lindy Stitches event Midsummer Stitch. It was a lot of fun. It's crazy to get recognized now because of being on Flosstube. The compliments make me blush but they are so sweet. I appreciate it so much. I got to meet a few new people and had a really nice time overall. I think I will attend the September one if I have nothing else going on. Fred was so sweet and gave me the weekend completely off so I got a TON of stitching done.

1,576 and that finished off Colorful Eagle by Kitty & Me!!!!

So Wohoo a Finish!!! In honor of that or really just because on Thursday I kitted up 6 new soon to be started pieces...

Several of them have start dates planned. I can't wait. First up is the one in the bottom right in honor of a friend's birthday. I also got this adorable piece off a destash group...

It was dated 1998 so same age as Jeremiah.....vintage haha. 

So much to do. So much fun planned. I can't wait. Let's go stitch!!!

Love yourself. Smile. Stitch all the things!!!!
