Monday Update

Some people suffer from lost mojo. I swear my mojo is going to EXPLODE. I need to share some of my mojo with someone who needs it. I want to stitch all the things and I want to do it NOW. Let's see what I've been working on this last week.

Last Monday I took my first day off since January 1st. After the weekend marathon I just wanted a break from stitching. Tuesday I got started on the Mill Hill Camping Out. It's the companion piece to the one I finished last year for my cabin. In my wrap up post I shared a photo of the Camping Out Mill Hill. Thursday I got the section finished up and worked on Salt Water Taffy for the rest of the day. I finished up the left side of the chart. Here are the photos I shared in my wrap up post again so you can see what I'm talking about...

Friday was time for the last letter in my acrostic Wish Upon a Starfish I didn't think I would get 4 hours but I actually did and even 3 minutes longer than the full 4 hours. It was hard to put down. Here is where I got with that one...

Saturday was the 1st and I was READY to go!!! Exciting new month full of stitching plans. 3 new starts!!!

Every day I'm stitched a piece for a half hour for the #Lovetostitch challenge for the Embroidery.com group. I'm using this adorable heart freebie that AriadnefromGreece stitched last year for the Valentine Blog Hop. I fell in love with it and wanted to stitch it myself...

Half hour sure goes fast. I'm doing mine in 4 different purple DMC on this beautiful piece of hand dyed 28ct evenweave someone gave me. Here are my 2 days so far...

Also got started on the February Fairy. But she isn't getting a lot of attention. Here is my sad amount on her from 2 days of stitching on her...

She's only been out 1 hour and 17 minutes. Because my other new start was the Homely Houseplants SAL. The first plant came out Saturday too! It was a monster. Well the plant is a monstera plant so I guess it makes since it would be a monster to stitch up...

It took 7 hours and 39 minutes to finish up!!! What a time stealer. Today's plant is a lot smaller so hopefully it won't take near as much time. It's a little cactus that sits beside the one already stitched. Every 2 day I get a new plant until I have 12 total. I really love the way it looks. Finally plants I can't kill and don't have to water.

So I've been stitching like a mad woman and LOVING it. I just am going crazy because everything else wants to be stitched too. The mail came Saturday and I got two class projects that I need to work on and finish before my March retreat. But I looked and told them they can wait till March. I won't have a problem finishing them up before the retreat since it's the 25th. Right? Haha. Besides I already have MORE than enough I want to do this month. Plus there were two new freebies released that I printed out. One for Easter. One from Hands on Design. Did you see her new anniversary piece? Adorable!!! So stitch stitch stitch I must. Here's hoping I have enough hours in my February to do everything I want to do.

Over the weekend we watched Lost in Space on Netflix. Only 4 left of those. We didn't watch the Superbowl. Just no interest in NFL in this house. WWE is our only sport we watch.

Have a great week! Stitch Stitch Stitch!
