Weekly update March 14th 2021

Hi everyone, 

Happy π (Pi) Day!!

Here is my weekly update.

Stitching:
I have a Finish!

Vervaco Moonlight Wilderness inspired Bookmark kit - Stag on the left - no copyright date or designer name
14ct white aida, 2 over 1
Presorted DMC threads
Stitch count: 27 x 103
Cross stitch, Backstitch, Long stitch, french knots

Thursday I picked up this wip... started the steps between the top and bottom color.. got to the end before I realized I started in the wrong place.. frogging on 40ct silk gauze is awful! No progress. 

ChrisMoose Berry - The Silk Berry Collection© 2019 Erica Michaels Needleart Design
Fabric: 40ct silk gauze
Threads: CC (some crescent some classic), DMC
Stitch Count: 205 x 121, 1 over 1
Half Cross Stitch

Stash:

I received a partial order from 123stitch - still waiting on a few fabric/threads.

Some velveteen and rick rack for finishing...

Some fabrics for my next few projects...Barnwood aida is for a full coverage Soul Keeper by Thread Geeks, the french cafe mocha is for JDD Cozy into winter.. the Dapple -  for Lila's studio winter.. The murmur will be used for an EM Berry. Think I might use the crystal dwarf for one of the 2 new silver creek samplers that hasn't arrived yet and bramble might be for the other. I might try the dusk for an EM Halloween berry. I think the Shadow will be my choice for Summon the reaper also by thread geeks. Oaken might be my choice for HAED Mini last look (Although I might like to try it on PTP Veldt). Barnwood 40ct might be for another HAED..just had to see the fabric in person before ordering a larger piece. 

I also picked up more threads for my birthday club girls and some I needed for the next few projects.

Have a wonderful day!
Happy Stitching!

Weekly update March 7th, 2021

Hi everyone, 

Here is my weekly update...

What have I done?

Stitching:
I worked on this all week...

Vervaco Moonlight Wilderness inspired Bookmark kit - Stag on the left - no copyright date or designer name
14ct white aida, 2 over 1
Presorted DMC threads
Stitch count: 27 x 103
Cross stitch, Backstitch /longstitch and french knots (I think)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is where I left off  last Sunday...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And as of today... (hope to stitch later this afternoon)

 

Had to move the Q-snap to reach the top..so there's a little more not shown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stash:

Monday's mail brought... C&C Jan fabric- Marzipan!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday's mail brought...

C&C Jan threads : Sandalwood, Sedona, Prussian Blue, Tuscan Sun, and Seaweed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Tuesday or Wednesday.. 

Lady Dot Finishing Kit for March from Crazy Annie's - Green Green Grass of Home

 Such pretty buttons and pins...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other:

Threadgeeks.com has some lovely new kits (Anne Stokes art) hoping they'll be released as pdf's - if not, I'll be patiently waiting for the mail. I also found some lovely charts at Painfreecrafts.com... they do have pdf's but matching needleminders? Oh no! Maybe more international mail to arrive.

 

March arrived like a LION...very gusty winds.. getting icy as the snow is eaten away by the wind... and sun is melting the snow. Tuesday stuck at home as driveway was very icy! Difficult walking Macey and bottom of driveway was bad enough that the mail stayed overnight.

 

Macey has been watching out the window and seeing the deer.. Luckily she didn't see these (there were three) out back or else it would have been a very icy walk/run.

 

Until next week

Have a wonderful day!
