 Another Monday. But I attended a fantastic retreat over the weekend. New to me and I had such a great time I booked next year too. Please check out my flosstube for more pictures of the retreat.

Let's see what I worked on last week...

Monday I added 74 more to Hedgehog by Primitive Hare...

 Tuesday and Wednesday I got to work on the November section on Along the Nesting Boxes by Jardin Prive...

Can't believe it's just this one and one more left to finish this beautiful piece.

Jeremiah picked me a new start for every day at the retreat. I headed up Wednesday night and it was like I said a fantastic time. Relaxing. Full of friendship. Thursday he picked When I think of Autumn by Puntini Puntini...

I added 426 for Day 1. Friday I started Autumn Quaker by Primrose Cottage...

I'm using the DMC variegated #51. Love it so far. Saturday was Happy Turkey by Imaginating... 

I swapped out the fabric to an evenweave for this one.

So that's all for now. Have a wonderful week ahead and Good luck stitching all the things.

June 9th Monday Update

 I missed a few weeks. I was going crazy to stitch and just didn't take any computer time. I'm back. Let's see what I worked on during my time away (I did post my Flosstubes if you have watched but if not I want to post here too.)

Yggdrasil *Wooo* haha. Has been getting a lot of progress lately. This is my piece for #wipintoshape challenge. Here it was at the beginning for the May 5th start...

Here it is now... 

Very happy with my progress and will keep going for the challenge. I work on this a minimum of 1 Day a week on Sundays for the challenge. Enjoying every stitch.

I had a few new starts...

Far Better Things from Sweet Wing Studio. Using this as one of the Mental Health Care SAL pieces for May. Love the message. 

Honey Bee Mill Hill Kit. 

Black Pearl finally came back out. 

The Extraordinary Birds SAL from Lola Crow. I've been stitching like crazy still way behind haha... 

That's okay what a beautiful piece and fun to work on.

Started Liberty Squared another 40ct silk gauze Erica Michaels piece. 

The Peppermint Purple SAL I'm adding every 2 weeks...

Spring Quaker from Primrose Cottage was finished off finally this last week... 

When I Think of Spring from Puntini Puntini was also finished...

I was making myself crazy again with the pressure of my stitching. I admitted it outloud and immediately felt relieved. So I have been just enjoying my stitching again. What a relief. I love the challenges but I jump in way way over my head every time haha. So I weeded out a group I didn't really enjoy. Opened up my choices to cover all my WIPs instead of just a small amount. It's helped me so much!!! So I'm back and loving it. Okay you are finally caught up. I think haha. 

Apr 14th Monday Update

 So last week everything went wrong with my flosstube. I ended up editing it 3 times so it was a very frustrating day. Then I went to do laundry in the evening. So I totally missed posting my Monday update. Then the week just flew by. But anyway I'm here now.

Let's flash back to beginning of April...

Tuesday the 1st I worked on Rainbow Dragon for Springo in Monthly Magazine Challenge FB group. That's going on the whole month of April and I've been enjoying it a lot. After the daily picks I worked on Along the Nesting Boxes by Jardin Prive to finish up the April section.

Wednesday was Mushroom Gnome Mill Hill kit for Springo and back to the Nesting Boxes. I also added weeks 13 and 14 to the Peppermint Purple SAL.

Thursday I worked on Patriotic Gnome Littles by Waxing Moon and back to the Nesting Boxes.

Friday Rainbow Dragon a Paine Free Crafts design was picked for Springo and I finished the April section for the Jardin Prive...
