Today was a playing with stash kind of day. I notice I have to be in the perfect mood. I would rather be stitching. Took me from 10am till 3pm to get it all done. I had to sort floss to put away. Put it away in my floss main containers. Then start pulling projects for the 17 projects. One is a Christmas present from last year. Most are from my stash. Instead of a typical monthly set next year I'm doing a 12 months from stash between the holidays each month. LOL What a long name. Between the Holidays Mixed Bag? Hm need to think on the name. 2 of these are on involved in a Semi Sane FB event for December. So they might just be started soon. Let's see what's in the stack. Some have multiple in the project envelopes because they are a "set" plus I ran out of project envelopes haha.
First up the Hinzeit envelope has 4 different patterns in it...
The bottom two I got for Christmas 2019. The top two I bought from a stash sell in April of 2020.
Erica Michaels has 4 in the envelope. So many of these mom got when I attended the PALs retreats. She always bought them so I could save them up for "one day". Finally 2024 will be the day for these 4 at least (yes I have a lot more in my stash safe and sound)...
These are all done on 40ct silk gauze. I just LOVE working on them. I did get the specialty thread because it helps them look so gorgeous.
Tiny Modernist I have 3 of the Fantasy Biscornu's...
I bought them in 2019 while attending my local Hoosier Retreat.
I bought these this year in January after seeing them on Instagram. This will be my seasonal set. The Winter one will be started in December for a Semi Sane Challenge. Then each season I will start the one for that season.
This one I bought in September because I was buying some other things and it fell in the cart haha.
Colorful Eagle was bought by Fred and Jeremiah for Christmas last year. So I knew it needed to be started before too long. I love the patriotic colors. Plus definitely works for the between the holidays times for display. This one is on the list to start for the December challenge.
So excited to start each one. So happy to have this part all done finally! I can finally go stitch haha.

I agree about having to be in the mood for tidying threads away and kitting up new starts, but isn't it also so satisfying to look at all those wallets and boxes and know know everything (or mostly everything, as there are always one or two missing threads!) is all set to go?
You have a lovely range of very manageable small charts there, and I look forward to many starts (and perhaps also finishes) next year.
I feel you’re in a patriotic mood. Does the election in 2024 have anything to do with it. Nice job and they’re all great new starts!
I especially like the patriotic pieces you're planning on stitching, Katie! Enjoy ♥
Well I don't know how I missed this post before! I love your choices, a wide variety of cute stitches!
I have trouble putting floss away too! It seems I just did it recently and yet I have another pile on my dresser to put away now!
