Jul 7th Monday Update

 I'm not going to apologize. I'm not going to apologize. Is anyone here anyway? LOL Oh well Hi Me if I'm reading this. Yes Yes you know you forgot to post here. Future you will be mad so post!!!

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

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I started on the Summer Seasonal Courier from Robin Pickens. This one is called Bluejay's Summer. I'm using 32ct Dark Cobblestone Lugana for this set and I just love the fabric. So 3 days into this one I added 1,005 total stitches so far...

I just love the colors she used for this one. Here is what it will look like... 

Thursday was time for Jeremiah's WIP spin from last week. He is doing a general WIP spin from all my WIPs and also a Jolly July Christmas WIP from just Christmas WIPs every Monday on my Flosstube.

2025 Advent SAL from Artmishka. Here is what it was supposed to look like... 

I used a 28ct Star Sapphire fabric a viewer sent me and a Caron Waterlilies thread called Holiday (which I LOVE!!!)


 Finished it up Friday morning. Wohoo!!

Added two more weeks to the 2026 Peppermint Purple SAL. I'm using a 40ct Verdal that was an October FOTM from Dying for Cross Stitch Annette gave me. Using the suggested DMC...


 Weeks 25 & 26 so that's half a year already gone!!! Wow. 

The last WIP up for Friday was the 2025 Steady Thread SAL Christmas Tree. Here it was it looks like...

This one is on a 18ct Opalescent Raw Linen/Aida. This is only the 2nd day I worked on it... 

After having a fun day off with family Saturday for the 4th of July Sunday I worked on Long May She Wave from Morning Glory Needleworks. I'm using a 32ct Vintage Stormy Night for it. Day 4 now...


 Finally an update here haha. I do love the ease of looking back here for things. I am really enjoying Flosstube. The friends I've made have been so fantastic and I love being so accepted there. Hard to believe I'm even to the point I'm making some money. Making some money doing something I love is just the best. So that's amazing to me. Life is great. We are still having a blast and enjoying our crazy life here. Thanks for reading.....anyone haha.
