Oct 6th Monday Update

 Hello everyone. What a blur. We left on Sept 20th for a fun Michigan vacation and had a great time. I actually did daily Vlogs on my Youtube channel if you are interested.

 We got a shout out from Pam and Steph from Just Keep Stitching which is amazing. I literally screamed out loud. I couldn't believe it. Our subscriber count went from 811 to 907 right now. Crazy. We might actually finally hit 1k.

I'm not going to post everything here because I'm already so far behind. So I'll just stay brand new next week. I did post all the WIPs I worked on today on my latest Flosstube. So head over there to watch it please. 

 

I have two new finishes to add to my 2025 Finishes. So happy to have my Summer pieces done. Now to get to Halloween / Fall stitching. Well and everything else. Okay Love you all. I hope everyone here is doing okay. Is anyone here anymore??

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.
