Tue Sept 8 Update

 Day late because of Labor Day. Let's see the 4 projects I worked on last week for ABCingo in Monthly Magazine Challenge Facebook group.

Tuesday Letter V was picked. Not surprisingly Jeremiah picked Boba Fett by Valenti and out of print Etsy design. I added 247 stitches...  

After that I started to catch up with the Peppermint Purple SAL for 2026. I finished the last two weeks of August. Then I did the Sept outline to get those ready...

After I finished that I got to work on the next ABCingo call which was #3 Jeremiah picked this fun Halloween WIP from 9 options... 

I added the H and the A and the Spider motifs for that. Then #6 was called. So I added the 4 skeins of floss and the 2 L's...

 I also finished off the pumpkin and the border around it. Plus the little bit of the cauldron because I needed to hit 712 total for a challenge goal.

After that T was called and Jeremiah had like 13 options. He picked Christmas Truck by Vervaco Kits. I added 269 before people arrived for the long holiday weekend....

It was a long, hot, busy weekend. Now that it's over though I have time to catch up on the missed calls. So I'm off to do just that. 

Love yourself. Stitch All the Things!!!
 

Aug 31st Monday Update

 Just realized I missed last week but that's okay I had a weird week and worked on 1 project the whole week. It was a new start I started it Wednesday. Here is what it will look like when done...

Star Wars (Dark Side) from XCrossStitchDesigns on Etsy. I'm using 32ct Lambswool Jobelan. Doing my typical 1 over 1 full x for it. Started left top corner. Jeremiah said I should go up and down for this one so next page will be under the 1st page if that makes sense instead of to the right. Get more characters faster he said haha.

I added 1,600 stitches in the 4 days I worked on it. Then I was off to a new to me stitching retreat in Shipshewana Indiana. This one is a week long and put on by Farmstead Inn which I've attended a few other retreats now. So I knew it was a wonderful place to stay. I did a proper video with lots of pictures on my Flosstube if you are interested. Here I will just show my WIPs.

 Monday I added 405 to Trust the Universe by The Snowflower Diaries...

Like I say about every WIP I really love this one. 
 

Tuesday I added 405 to Woodland Stitchy Friend The Hedgehog by Primitive Hare. I finally have some hedgehog now... 

Wednesday I worked on Christmas Truck from Vervaco in the morning...

 For 175 stitches. Glory in the Wind by Robin Pickens in the afternoon...

Thursday was time for Ragnarok my Long Dog Sampler... 

That little adorable squirrel showed up this time. Added 628.

Friday I worked on Star Wars back in my room since I stayed till Saturday. It was lovely. A way to decompress and be ready to return home Saturday. Sunday I worked on it again here at home. So here I am now with that wonderful WIP ...

 2,400 in now. The first symbol is done on the first page and started the second which of course looks about the same haha. Oh well I'm still loving it. 

Tomorrow starts ABCingo and I'm looking forward to it. A letter or number is called each day. Stitch 100 stitches (or 1 hour) to complete the call and mark it off. I will have Jeremiah pick from the options the night before when the call is made. I will be back with progress.....hopefully. 

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