Sept 18th Monday HUGE Update

It was another week full of stitching. Still joining in the Go Stitch challenge with the Semi Sane Stitchers Facebook group. Having a blast. It is just the push I needed. So let's see what I've been working on...

Monday Day 11 - Letter M. I was very surprised I don't have a M title chart. That's okay I wanted to finish up Summer Gnome so perfect. Needed 400 stitches got 268 added...

Tuesday 

First up last 132 for Day 11 on Summer Gnome...

Day 12 - Letter Q No Q for me. So another 400 Go Stitch Day. Hoping to finish Summer Gnome...

378 stitches and it was complete!!! Wohoo! Happy Dance. Still needed more stitches for my total for the day so grabbed Camping Out Mill Hill Kit...

252 stitches and it was finished!!! Major happy dancing. 2 fantastic finishes in one day. 

Wednesday -- Day 13 Letter B Finally one I had several choices for the letter. 4 choices. We picked Beer Dragon because I want at least 500 stitches this month in him...

Added 400 stitches even though I needed 200.

Thursday - Day 14 Letter S Another 4 choice kind of day. Jeremiah picked an old WIP...

This is Stitcher's Code SAL from Stitchingly it was a SAL in 2019/2020. I am doing them individually and I finished Part 4 in 2020. Jeremiah picked #6 this time because the cute little frog of course...

Another great stitching day so 600 stitches added. This is exactly why I love this challenge. Made me pick up this old WIP. I promised it I will be back soon. I have a 2nd SAL from them too. Plus they make adorable little pillow type finishes to display. #4 is on display here at our tiny house.

Friday - Day 15 Letter Y No Y for me. So Beer Dragon came back out...

Added 400 more stitches. So goal met for this month.

Saturday No stitching day. We ran up to Fort Wayne to the old house. We picked up a trailer to haul furniture again. 2 HUGE loads. One to help the home owner. One for our last big stuff. Of course all this stuff was upstairs. So OUCH. It was hard hard work but it's done. My poor left lower leg still hurts today from all the work. This is all the big stuff now though. Just hodge podge stuff left. We are crossing all fingers we just might actually be done this coming weekend with what we want out. Ohhh I hope so...

Sunday I planned on not moving. Hurried to do a few things like put out bird seed. We had a delicious breakfast and sit I did...

Makeup for Saturday Day 16 - Letter W Another older WIP Wish Upon a Starfish by Designs by Lisa...

Added 207 (oops extra 7 haha) to complete Saturday

Day 17 Letter O No O for me so why not keep that beautiful Starfish loaded on the Q-Snap...

651 stitches!!!! Told you I wasn't moving all day. WOW. Only one symbol left. I was so tired. I would have loved to keep my eyes open just probably an hour more to finish but no luck. Trust me....soon.

So I'm curious again...Last Monday I reported 3,039 stitches and was proud of myself.....this week....3,288!! Wohoo! Still loving every stitch. 

I wonder what I will work on this week. Can't wait to report it to you. Smile. Love yourself. Have an amazing week.

You had an excellent stitching week! Congrats on getting in so many stitches a day, I don't know how you do it! But you are getting them in and getting in some finishes too! Here is to another great week with this challenge.

Yay for your finishes, I love them both!
You certainly have been stitching up a storm with that many stitches. I've been using my counter too, but it must be defective because it's not showing as many as you!😉
