So far no purchases and no more new starts.
FINISH
Ye Old Coffee House, Little House Needleworks
I enjoyed this, but I must have frogged twenty times and miscounted as many. How this simple looking project turned out to be so difficult is beyond me. But, it is done, my first finish for 2017
I made several counting errors and added the coffee cup above the house where it was charted for a heart.
My monthly ornament and FFO of an old ornament.
That give me $12.00 credit for this month so far in my Stitch from Stash Budget.
SALs
Beautiful Sea, Ships Manor
Was able to get caught up the first week of the new year and just finished part 8 so I am all caught up. Really enjoying the colors of this.
2017 Mystery Sampler, Linen & Thread
Since I am stitching from stash for the first 6 months of this year, I pulled any DMC of which I had more than 10 skeins and pulled a piece of 32 count Platinum Belfast linen. I am hoping to have the left side finished today. The second band comes out the first part of February and I would like to stay caught up, but who knows. Those large empty spaces are for bird looking things that I think I will do in a different color. I may wait until the second band comes out before deciding what color.
Alice Merryfield, Pineberry Lane
I worked on this for the "red" weekend challenge (Jan 13-15) so I got a little further on it and want to finish out the red part of the border this weekend. I am probably going to replace the very pale color as it just is not showing up on this fabric.
Dancing Deer, Cherished Stitches
I am still amazed by the colors in this piece when I step back and look at it.
But Happy They Wedding Sampler, Cherished Stitches
I wish I could say I was enjoying this. It may end up at a UFO by the end of the month. It just is not holding my interest, although I do like the fabric. I should probably make up my mind before I get to the personalization portion!
That is it for the first two weeks of the year. I have a pile of finished things from last year that I would really like to get completely finished, but I just have not been in the mood for finishing.
Thanks so much for visiting.
With so many interesting projects on the go, you should have no problems sticking to the Stitch from Stash for a few months! Great progress, I especially love the Under the Sea SAL and Dancing Deer.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy on a lovely selection of stitching projects. I have found that it is the 'simple' designs on which I seem to 'frog' a lot.
ReplyDeleteLovely projects. All of them are so pretty. Happy stitching................
