Maynia update, parade

Hi all! Hope you're doing well and staying healthy. I totally forgot to post the rest of my WIP parade! So today I'll show more WIPs and my stitching for Stitchmaynia. Let's go!

First up is Kringles by LHN...

I stitched to the 17th and stopped. The pattern has 3 dormer windows, I've stitched just the 1. The roof is kicking my butt! The white fence-like stitching is like a widow's walk. I would get tired of doing the roof and would stitch the windows, etc. I will stitch on this during the WIP challenge coming up Summer Solstice. The next project is Midnight Ride..

The fabric is more dk blue gray. I stitched from the center where the bat is up to the witch because I prefer starting at the top. You would think I would have more stitched in 14 days but I found I could only stitch during weekends.

Parade time! This bunch of WIPs are from my bday SAL and they haven't been touched since then. In no particular order..

This one I'm not too happy with. I may shelve it and use a lighter linen for it.

For the past 2 month I've been stashing like crazy; buying PDFs on Etsy, buying fabrics and floss. I have put a lid on it but I had to have this..
A box from notforgottenfarm on Etsy for this design..
I bought this pattern on Stash Unload, had most of the floss, 2 of them, 1 substituted, and began stitching. It has a Halloween vibe to it but that's probably from the floss-Dried Thyme, Clockwork, and Raven which is not the Raven I'm used to! It's black with dk green. My other skein with just one strand doesn't have the green in it. Oh well, it works.

Anyway, I feel like I gotten enough new stash that I don't need to buy any more!

Those WIPs above, and all my others, they will be worked on for 30 minutes each on Summer Solstice which falls on a Sunday here in the US. I'm looking forward to it.

Now that Stitchmaynia is about over, I'll keep on stitching on Rest Thy Scissors until I'm finished. I'm getting the Halloween thing and want to start some Halloween patterns, small stuff that I can finish quickly. Next time I post, I'll show what I've started. Along with the rest of my WIPs to parade.

Take care everyone. Covid is not quite gone but it sure is nice to have a little more normalcy going on.

See ya next time!

    Nice to see all you've been working on, Shelly! I'm not sure how you keep everything straight, but good for you :) I am such a monogamous stitcher (well, usually one large and one small thing going on at any given time). I've hardly bought any new stash this year, but there are a couple of things I have my eye on... maybe this summer I'll treat myself. Hope June is a good month for you and I'm so glad we are over the worst of the Covid mess. Take care now. ♥

New blog!

Hi all! Well, I have started this new blog since I couldn't find a way to sign in to the other one. It's a huge mess because the email I used to sign up is not used any more and the log in info is lost. So I'm going to see how this goes using my phone. I don't see how I'll be able to upload pictures either but maybe..oh I see how to load pics now! Well, here we go!  I had a new start last month, by PSS  It's a little blurry because I took the picture from off my iPad. I'll have to start taking pictures with my cell. Anyway I am starting to build the house. Next up is progress on Frosty Forest.. I finished that 4th block with the greenish house and just kept going! The border of the Frosty Forest block was mind numbing but once I got the pattern in my head, it went fast. I have folded it up and put away to stitch on next year. So my Harvest Halloween exchange partner received my package to her.. I bought her a Lucy Beam/Becky Noland project bag and some trims...

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas however you had it in this time of covid. I spent mine with my daughter and her boyfriend. We ate breakfast burritos, buffalo chicken dip, chocolate, and cookies! It was perfect! Then my 1 brother from Phoenix drove up to join us. Here we are in a new year full of Hope. I am hoping that we can get a handle on covid, get the election quandary figured out but mostly get back to living again without masks and hand sanitizer. My family are doing well and staying healthy. This post is going to be about my usual yearly update, the winner of the nice leftovers from my giveaway, and plans for this year. Let's go! The winner of the new year's eve giveaway is Jackie! Congrats Jackie! See below what I'll be sending you. I'm pretty sure you are a high count fabric stitcher. You are in a few FB groups that I'm in.  A BBD project bag that I've had for a long time, bagged up and was never used. A cute squirrel needle minde...
