![]() This is what we are stitching…You are more than welcome to stitch along with us. Our Blessed stitch along starts on Tuesday. So more time at the sewing machine this weekend and less time stitching…that would be okay but the fixing of this project isn’t all fun. It’s not a little fix and has a deadline. I screwed up on a sewing project and have to go back and fix it all. The goal for next week is to get the last house stitched. I stitched around it with the plan to come back and fill the tree in. Well, there is a tree that goes right there. If you look at the red house you might notice that the right side of the house looks silly. The color in the photo above is most accurate. I worked on the red house and grass below it. Here is where I was last week when I ended with A Changed World. This one is more appropriate again after the news from this week. I am almost hoping for a finish but that might be ambitious. I’ll let you know how far I get with this next week. Here is where I was when I ended last month. Tonight I’ll be stitching on my Comfort and Joy from Heartstring Samplery. Now that I’m back to work, it will cut even more into my stitching and crafting time. There are so many pieces and so little time. I want to keep up doing a few things like…īlackbird Weekend Stitch Along with “We Live in Hope”Ĭhristmas 25th Stitch Along (which is today-every 25th of the month we stitch on a Christmas piece)īlessed Stitch Along starting March 1st hosted by Judy and I My plan is to keep stitching on both All Creatures Great and Small AND stitching on A Changed World. So I’m going to give myself a little grace. Stitched and Finished Several Small Valentines Pieces I did do a lot of other stitching so far this year. Seriously, cross-stitching is supposed to be fun. I love those kinds of samplers.Īs I was stitching I told myself to quit adding guilt to this project. It reminds me of the floral motif sampler where every motif is a little accomplishment. I have to finish the beehive yet too…it’s above the big bug. It still amazes me that little x’s can make pictures. I’m much closer than I was at the end of last week. The tree is the center point and that’s where I should have been about mid-Febrauary so if I kick it into gear, I might be almost done with the top row by the end of March. So this is where I am ending the week…Īfter Carver quit “helping” me stitch, I finished the pig and all of the motifs to the right of it. That realization did prompt me to stitch on it more this week. If I was guessing…this is about as far along as I should have been at the end of January in order to reach my goal. ![]() I stitched the bird with the berry in his mouth and I started the momma pig. But as long as he is interested in spending time with me and pulling my needle, I’m going to let him. letting him pull the needle is very slow stitching but I want to share my craft with him. He loves when I get the needle in place and he pulls it. I ended up sitting on the couch and cross-stitching. I had Carver and Gannon here one day and we were all feeling a little lazy. That is the quarter I will kick it in high gear to get the border as far along as I can. I am thinking the third row might not be too hard as much of it is words. I am NOWHERE near close to having the first row finished. The end of March marks the end of the 1st quarter of the year….Um. If I stitched one row each quarter of the year (plus some border) I would have it finished by the end of the year. You can see there are four rows to the chart. When I originally looked at the chart I thought that I would break it down into four units. Well…I looked at where I was, then looked at the chart and thought, “OH MY! I better get stitching”. You might remember that this was the project I started on January 1st with the intention that I would stitch this entire chart in the 2022 calendar year. I did have a little talk with myself concerning my All Creatures Great and Small project. I missed out on one night of stitching as I have Buck’s and the kids here on Saturday night. I told you on Monday that I didn’t get any sewing time last week.
