WIP parade!

Hello! The parade continues. I did start my stitchmaynia piece yesterday and here it is..

This is Kringle by LHN, on a huge piece of 30ct Parisian Gray linen by Access Commodities. It's a coarse-feeling linen that'll hold up well with this big design that is 193w x 232h. The whitish color is snow and the brown is roof. What I have stitched is half of the building! I plan to stitch on Kringles for 15 or 16 days and then switch to the Halloween stitch that I mentioned last post.

Parade time!
A nice Christmas/Winter scene, the designer is on Etsy. I decided to leave off the border but I'm not sure about the date. I may leave it off too.

Next..
Aww, it's my cowboy by Ink Circles, Beau Leggy in the Desert. There's a cactus bush underneath his legs that needs to be stitched and that's it! He's nearly done.

Litha by the Primitive Hare. Yep, that is all I have stitched! I still like this pattern so I'll keep it.

This is Midnight Manor by Waxing Moon. I want to start stitching on this again. Soon.

From The Sampler Girl. A nice Halloween design that would be awesome as a cube.

Christmas Garden by BBD. New year's day picture that looks no different! Haha. Another WIP that deserves to be worked on.

And the last WIP for this sunday's parade is Frosty Forest by CCN. Just 4 more blocks to do!

Come on retirement!! That is when I can stitch to my heart's content. I have 7 more years to go. No telling what will happen by then. I may win the lottery or marry old money, haha! 

That's it for this week's parade. I'm starting to get into WIPs from my bday SAL but I'll show them again.

Jo, I think I'll join you on your longest day of the year WIP challenge. I believe that is Summer Solstice? I'll have to look up what day that is. If it's on a weekend, it's all good. If not, I'll do what I can. Pulling all these WIPs from their hiding places makes me want to work on them. Thanks Jo!

Stay safe and healthy everyone!

    Nice new start! I'm doing my Just Nan-a-thon again this year. A different JN small each evening.
    It would be great to have you join the marathon. The longest day is a Monday but you can Marathon the day before. I often move the event around to suit work. Last year it took two days because my son was off school due to the lockdown.

    Lots of great WIPs, Shelly! It's funny, but now that I've retired, I seem to stitch less than I did before when I worked. I tend to procrastinate now whereas before I kept more to a schedule. Anyway, I'm hoping your years 'til retirement fly by! Enjoy your week ♥

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.. lol This one I'm not too happy with. I may shelv...

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...

Happy New Year!

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...
