 Hey blogworld. Here is what I've been working on since my last update...

 ABCingo is going strong so working on those every day.

Monday was A so Yggdrasil came out because Anne Stokes is the artist. Only 100 added but progress is progress...

Tuesday K was called so I gave Jeremiah my picks to pick from. First up was Mushroom Gnome a Jim Shore Mill Hill... 

Wohoo it's a finish!!! After finishing him up I still had time so worked on Hanging with Santa a Janlynn kit...

Wednesday was Q so Canine Quotes by The Scarlett House came out. I added 218 for Wednesday... 

C was picked for Thursday so since I was so closed Jeremiah said Finish that one...

113 more and it was done. Rest of the day I worked on Christmas Truck by Vervaco and added 330 to it... 

Friday was an easy pick for Jeremiah because it was M so The Mandalorian came out from Forbidden Fiber Co...

314 added on Friday. Then U was picked for Saturday so kept it out and added 230 more...

 Sunday N was called so Summer Time by New York Dreamer was picked...

 400 was added. It won't be done by Fall but that's fine. Least I'm making progress on it.

Sept 8th Monday Update

Hello anyone still here. Mostly me looking back so Hi me haha. Let's see what I worked on since last week...

 ABCingo is here in Monthly Magazine Challenge and that's the focus this month. 1st was Monday and the letter spun was L Just a note we get 25 picks before the challenge is over. Our boards has 35 spots though. All the letters of the alphabet and 1 - 9 numbers. For the numbers we stitch motifs. An example is a letter counts as a motif. Just depends on the size of the pattern so Carolyn said be smart on picking that haha. Anyway for L I pulled out Little Helpers by Lucie Heaton. It was Day 3 on this one...

Tuesday the letter spun was G. So I excitedly grabbed Noel Gnomes by Jardin Prive. I wondered if I could keep it out and finish it. Tuesday I got 264. Wednesday was an amazing day. I got 1k stitches!!!! I don't know when I did that last. Wednesday 5 was spun so I added 5 areas on Noel Gnomes....Snowflakes,the gnome, the stool he's standing on, the snow, and the tree. Thursday I just needed 100 more to finish it... 

The Halloween one is now screaming to be started. I checked and I have it all kitted up and ready to start. We got a number for Thursday 7. So I added 7 letters to Summer Time by NY Dreamer...

After that I pulled out Peppermint Purple 2025 SAL to add Weeks 35 and 36... 

The upper left two "corner" pieces were this time. Next I got the two square at the top that are empty. I finished the stitching up Friday. Letter P was spun for Friday so after finishing up the Peppermint Purple SAL I pulled out Along the Nesting Boxes by Jardin Prive. I wanted to get the September part added. 

634 added Friday. 335 added Saturday which the call was X so put in Xtra Stitches. 283 added Sunday so Zeroed in on a finish haha.

Now it can go away till October. I pulled out Jeremiah's favorite piece Yggdrasil for a bit Sunday... 

So 148 more added at least. Slowly but surely right? Okay another week of ABCingo ahead. I have to get to stitching haha.

Sep 2nd Monday Update

 I totally forgot to update last week. My brain haha. Let's have a fun look back at the last two weeks of stitching...

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday the first week I worked on finishing up Summer Quaker by Primrose Cottage

 Friday the 22nd I added Weeks 33 and 34 to the Peppermint Purple 2025 SAL...

I also added 284 to the 2025 Lola Crow Extraordinary Birds SAL... 

Over the weekend no stitching was done. I had a lovely date day with Fred on the 23rd. 

Last week Tuesday I worked on Noel Gnomes by Jardin Prive...

Getting close and I really want to finish this one up.

Wednesday I worked on Trick or Treat by Luminous Fiber Arts. Only added 106 then put it down to work on something else... 

Thursday I did the same thing with the Honey Bee Mill Hill Kit. Just 100 added to the wings...

 

I was trying both days to get some added to the Summer Time by NY Dreamer. I added 429 at least...

 I doubt it and When I Think of Summer by Puntini Puntini will be done in time for Fall but that's okay. So many lovely pieces screaming for attention.

I got 49 little stitches added to Creepy Christmas Village by Lola Crow before everyone showed up for Labor Day weekend. It was fun. Crazy and I'm exhausted but it was a fun way to celebrate the final big camping weekend. 

September is here! Wow. We have a fun vacation planned for end of the month. Our 2nd vacation without my mom. So weird but we are really looking forward to it. Sault Ste Marie, MI and Mackinac. Places my mom loved. Fred has only spent a few days in both places so it will be fun to have a week and a few days to relax and enjoy lots of things. We are so excited. If you want please check out my Flosstube for a peek at my September goals for challenge.

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.
