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...

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.

July 28th Monday Update

 Hello anyone still here haha. I mostly update for myself and a teeny few readers haha. I had fun having a Christmas in July week mostly last week. 5 of my 7 projects were Christmas at least.

So let's see what I worked on...

Monday was a no stitch life day. Tuesday I got started on Luminous Fiber Arts Trick or Treat for Adelaide's bday #orangefabricHalloweenSAL. I'm using WDW Envy and 32ct Pumpkin gorgeous fabric for this one...

1 day and 530 stitches in. Love it. Doing them individually. Really love the way the green looks at the orange which of course won't photograph well at all haha. 

Wednesday was time for 2 weeks in Peppermint Purple SAL...

32ct Platinum Lugana for this one. Weeks 29 & 30 added now. I really enjoy working on this one. Thanks Faith for telling me about it.

After that was my first Christmas spin from Jeremiah. Christmas Lantern. A Mill Hill Kit. I actually ended up finishing this after 295 more stitches... 

Added to my finishes tab above if you would like more information. Thursday Christmas Truck was spun and I fell in love with it this time...

 This is a Vervaco kit and I added 500 stitches to the natural Aida that came with the kit...

Friday was A Type of Christmas by Erin Elizabeth. Added 363... 

Saturday was Noel Gnomes by Jardin Prive. Added 266 after having a fun family day out...

This one is begging to be finished soon. 

Sunday was Creepy Christmas Village by Lola Crow.... 

Love this ornament set. Just soo cute.

So it was a fun full stitching week. Horrible hot still in Indiana. Extreme Heat Warning. Fun. That does lead to lots of stitching time though. Even the dog doesn't want to go out. I don't blame him. I hope everyone has a great week ahead. Love yourself. Good luck stitching all the things.
