My Sunday Stitchy Update 08/25/24

Welcome to my place today. First I would like to apologize for the late and slow replies I have been making to comments. I really have no excuse other than being lazy and taking an email break lately. Sometimes I feel like I get more junk email than I get in the regular mail.😜Anyways, for now I can't wait to show you what stitching I have been busy doing this week.

First up are the Christmas Ornaments. I took this out on Monday evening but fell asleep mid-stitch! I did manage to get in 50 stitches before I drifted off to dreamland!! So I ended up continuing it on Tuesday evening at the stitching gathering.

Added in 202 stitches

After that I thought I should stitch on something colorful so I could try to stay awake while stitching!

Then I decided to work on my favorite piece at the moment, the Blackwork SAL! I really wish it was time for me to add the fills.

This week I added 211 stitches to the border.

Then it was "Stitching at the Mall Day" so I took my sampler about stitching and stashing! Unfortunately I didn't get in very many stitches at the mall. I guess there were to many distractions today. So I stitched on it when I got home instead.

212 stitches for the week!

Then to finish out my week of stitches I got out the pretty cascade of flowers to work on. I love this piece but there are so many color changes because each flower has a different colorway to it.

100 stitches for the week!

And that brought us to 938 stitches for the week! 
YAY

If you are still here I would like to show you the Birthday Card I sent to a friend this week. The stitching has been finished for a couple of months but I just FFO'd it last week.

I hope she likes it.

So that is all I did last week, well all the stitching I did anyways!

I am sure that all of you know that housework and "other" somewhat boring but necessary stuff never ends while it eats up our crafting time. 🤣

💜   💜   💜

So once again thanks so much for stopping by to see what I stitched!

I truly appreciate each and everyone of you.
So until we meet again, stay happy and safe.

ps...I will TRY my best to catch up on some emails this week.

Afternoon Stitchers!  I hope you had a wonderful week. 

This week I only worked on a couple of pieces but on one of them I finished all the stitching!  

I started working on the Happy Birthday Card to reach my acrostic goal but when I got to the number I needed I decided to keep stitching and the next thing I knew... I finished all the stitches!

'Greeting Cards for All Seasons'

Finished 05/27/24
360 stitches finished this one off

Now I need to finish it off as a birthday card to be mailed in August to a friend of mine in Illinois. 

After I finished that up I was also finished with all my acrostics for the month of May. So with nothing in particular to stitch I decided to add some stitches to the Winter 2024 SAL.

added 630 stitches this week

The more I use this color fabric the more I love it! I am usually a white fabric kinda stitcher because I am not that good at deciding what colors to use but this color was listed as the preferred color so I took a chance and am I glad I did. I may just have to add a few pieces of this color to my stash. 

I have also been cleaning off my hard drive of old files and organizing other files to make better sense and so I probably won't be able to find them again when I need them!  When I wasn't 'organizing' I still managed to stitch everyday! 😊 

I also figured out my goals for June and here they are:

                  

I think these are more than manageable and I am almost finished with one already.

So that is all I have for you this week so I guess I am off to stitch until dinner. Today is breakfast for dinner; waffles and sausage links. Do you guys ever have breakfast for dinner? How about leftover dinner for breakfast? Maybe pizza or the side dish you had last night? 

Thanks a bunch for stopping by to visit me.

Stay happy and safe.
