Monday was A so Yggdrasil came out because Anne Stokes is the artist. Only 100 added but progress is progress...

Tuesday K was called so I gave Jeremiah my picks to pick from. First up was Mushroom Gnome a Jim Shore Mill Hill...

Wednesday was Q so Canine Quotes by The Scarlett House came out. I added 218 for Wednesday...

 Sunday N was called so Summer Time by New York Dreamer was picked...

Sept 8th Monday Update

Hello anyone still here. Mostly me looking back so Hi me haha. Let's see what I worked on since last week...

 ABCingo is here in Monthly Magazine Challenge and that's the focus this month. 1st was Monday and the letter spun was L Just a note we get 25 picks before the challenge is over. Our boards has 35 spots though. All the letters of the alphabet and 1 - 9 numbers. For the numbers we stitch motifs. An example is a letter counts as a motif. Just depends on the size of the pattern so Carolyn said be smart on picking that haha. Anyway for L I pulled out Little Helpers by Lucie Heaton. It was Day 3 on this one...

Tuesday the letter spun was G. So I excitedly grabbed Noel Gnomes by Jardin Prive. I wondered if I could keep it out and finish it. Tuesday I got 264. Wednesday was an amazing day. I got 1k stitches!!!! I don't know when I did that last. Wednesday 5 was spun so I added 5 areas on Noel Gnomes....Snowflakes,the gnome, the stool he's standing on, the snow, and the tree. Thursday I just needed 100 more to finish it... 

The Halloween one is now screaming to be started. I checked and I have it all kitted up and ready to start. We got a number for Thursday 7. So I added 7 letters to Summer Time by NY Dreamer...

After that I pulled out Peppermint Purple 2025 SAL to add Weeks 35 and 36... 

The upper left two "corner" pieces were this time. Next I got the two square at the top that are empty. I finished the stitching up Friday. Letter P was spun for Friday so after finishing up the Peppermint Purple SAL I pulled out Along the Nesting Boxes by Jardin Prive. I wanted to get the September part added. 

634 added Friday. 335 added Saturday which the call was X so put in Xtra Stitches. 283 added Sunday so Zeroed in on a finish haha.

Now it can go away till October. I pulled out Jeremiah's favorite piece Yggdrasil for a bit Sunday... 

So 148 more added at least. Slowly but surely right? Okay another week of ABCingo ahead. I have to get to stitching haha.

Augustu 18th Monday Update

 Where is time going so fast?? Wow How is it August 18th. Another Monday update. So crazy. I'm going totally insane haha. My latest flosstube was just duh haha. Oh well. We know me by now haha.

Monday was a wash out. I hate technology. Of course need it for everything I love doing haha. 

Tuesday finished the August section of Along the Nesting Boxes by Jardin Prive...

 

4 months left to do. How?!? I juve love this one. I will actually miss it when it's finished. 

After that I spent time on my loudest screaming WIP. Summer Time by NY Dreamer. I really want to finish this one. So I worked on it Tue, Wed, and Thur. Added 901 across the bottom...

I reluctantly had to put it down. Friday was back to the Extraordinary Birds SAL by Lola Crow. The 2025 SAL. My first to join....

2 more to be released. I am still way behind on Feat 4. That's okay I enjoy every slow slow stitch haha. I'm working on the Cassowary now on the left side. The one cut in half at the moment haha. 

Saturday and Sunday was Yggdrasil. I added 482 more. Finished page 3. Now 4.2% complete haha.  

I also had some haul. On my flosstube I shared my Luminous Fiber Arts Mystery Stitching box I received. Love it all. I also was forced to get the new Mill Hill Jim Shore gnomes...

LOVE THEM!!!

Plus this seasonal Yggdrasil a fellow flosstuber found... 

I also got the new Witchy Stitcher book from Amazon. So a lot of new choices for projects which is completely something I didn't need haha.
