Stitching update

Here are some current WIPs that I have been working on this week.  I am not going to finish anything else before the end of the year and get a running start on next year!

Christmas ornaments for my twin nephews

 This is oldest DD's current project.  We also bought a new pattern at the LNS this week.  I am planning to incorporate stitching into our homeschool curriculum.

Finish 24

I think this will be my last finish for the year.  I am planning to get some patterns kitted up for the new year, a year of stash stitching only!

Holiday Cheer, by Bent Creek

Stitched on 25 count linen, using WDW Seaweed, Barn Grey, 

Shutter Green, and Brick, and DMC Blanc, 3371, and 838

Almost the end of the year!

 My stitching has been rather hit or miss this year.  I guess being the director of the on-base homeschool group has taken up more of my time than I thought!

This is the progress I have made on Mill Hill Gingerbread House.  I have been working on this pattern all month.  I think I will put it away for a while.  

I have to decide what I am going to work on for 2012.  Maybe a stash only year?  Not sure yet. Of course it wouldn't really be a stash-only year, since Mom buys me stuff!  Also, I am thinking about going on a retreat with Mom next summer, so I would _have_ to buy stuff there....

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  I will be more consistent with stitching and blogging in 2012.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Finish #12: December

Sorry this is late- it's been a busy week.
WooHoo!!!!!  A Year with Charm is finally finished!

December, from A Year with Charm Flip-it series by LizzieKate.

Started March 1, 2011, Completed March 13, 2011

 Stitched on 28-count linen, 
using ST Barn Grey, Black Crow, Cherry Wine, Peach Ice Cream, 
Pine, and Raspberry Parfait, and WDW Garnet and Schneckley.

Weekly Update

The kids and I are still visiting my parents on the mainland.  Hubby is taking a class that finishes up on Dec 18, so he won't be back with us for another couple of weeks.

I have made a little progress- a very little progress- on the Eagle Sampler.  

I am having trouble motivating myself to work on it.  I guess I am not going to finish all my official goals for the year.  But I think I have made tremendous progress on my stash this year, so I am happy with my work.


My mom has a lot of stitch stash.  So much that she and I will never finish it together in both our lifetimes!  LOL. So while we are staying here, I riffled through her patterns and found one to stitch.  This was started on Thursday.

Itty Bitty Santa's Beard 2003

by Twisted Threads

using the kit fabric and Sampler Threads

If I get Itty Bitty done this month, I will have completed 30 stitch projects this year!  Woo Hoo!

Thanks for stopping by my  blog!  I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas season!
