Early October update

 Hello stitchy friends,

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the wonderful weather. Even here in sw Florida we are having cool weather, at least by our standards.

I have had several projects in rotation and even some new starts. I hope to come back by the end of this week with a huge to me finish.

So here are some progress pictures:

New Start: Eeeek! It's Frank! It was a mystery SAL by Tempting Tangles Designs. Here is part one finished. 

I am stitching it on 28ct Monaco fabric with 12wt Sulky threads.

New Start: Autumn SAL by Mr.stitch_mrs.needle. It is free until October 15th. You do have to show progress pictures to get the next part but it is really fun. I have finished part 1 and currently working on part 2.

I had a random piece of 32 count linen in my stash. I just love the squirrel.

WIPS: Darth Vader by NikkiPattern on Etsy. I love the progress. I plan on stitching one thread a day until it's done. 

It is stitched on 14ct black aida and 12wt Sulky threads.

I also put in some stitches on Baked Alaska by Glendon Place. I love the colors.

I am stitching it on 28ct Off-white Lugana.

That's all for now. Have a great day!

Happy Stitching,

Mary

November's Smalls SAL Challenge

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well.  For those of us who celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope you had a lovely time.  It was just the 5 of us, but it was nice just to hang out together for the weekend.

I have been pretty busy stitching, especially with winter about to set in.  I think autumn skipped us this year.  Oh well, it just means more time to get projects done.

I have finished 3 more bunnies out of the Mini Bunnies series by Handblessings Design.  They are so cute and I have really enjoyed working on these.  I still have half of November and February to do and then the whole year will be done.  Next year I plan on stitching A Year in Cupcakes by Durene Jones.  I am going to stitch them individually and will rotate them out in a frame.  I have January and February all kitted up and ready to go.

Anyway, here is Oct:

Dec:

and Jan:

I also FFO'd Think Winter by Lizzie Kate.  Thanks to Danielle from Stitcherista on Flosstube for the tutorial.  I loved how they turned out.  I am going to work on Think Spring next and finish it the same way.

I also wanted to show you some of the bigger projects I have been working on.
Mandala is about 2/3rd's done.

Thanks to Heather at the Stitching Lotus hosting the smalls challenge.  It has been a ton of fun.

Thanks so much for looking,
Mary
