Weekly Stitching

Good Morning everyone! I am glad to be back today and all the moving is almost done. We had planned on getting the remaining items moved over the weekend but my husband was a bit under the weather so it will wait until next Saturday. However, I was able to get quite a bit of stitching in over the weekend and I am so glad. It was nice to relax and watch netflix and flosstube while stitching for many hours. So, I will get started here showing what I worked on.

I had started the 4th ornament in the Brooke's Books Advent Animals and I am almost finished. I only need to stitch the border.

This is a picture of 272 Words the last time I posted a pic of it.

This picture shows the progress I made this past weekend.

I also worked on the Giant Harry Potter by CloudsFactory. The first picture shows the small start I had posted the last time.

This picture shows my progress. I do have to frog out the last blue motif on the right side. I was frustrated so just put it away yesterday and will rip out the next time I pick it up.

I do have a small amount of haul but failed to take pictures so I will get that up later this week. A stitcher had posted on one of the facebook stitch groups a couple of weeks ago about having found magnetic boards at Target for $3. After work that day, I ran to our local Target but they did not have them. My mom was able to find them at hers, so I had her to get me two of them. I added some of my needleminders to one of them over the weekend. I should be able to fill up both of them by the time I unpack all of my minders. I had been looking around for awhile and was so excited to learn about these. I think I might wish I had purchased a couple more.

What have you been stitching on? And how do you display your needleminders? I hope you all have a great stitchy week.

We are in the process of moving so there hasn't been much stitching going on. I did finish this ornament, the #3 of Brooke's Books Advent Animals. We should have all in the new house by the end of the week so tons of stitching will commence after that! I hope you are all having a great February.

Hello everyone! I hope your February is off to a great start.

I am almost finished with number 3 in Brooke's Books Advent Animals.

I started a new project this month for the Harry Potter SAL on a facebook group. My friend Cindi and I joined together and are cheering each other on. I don't have much done on it so far. This is the Giant Harry Potter by CloudsFactory.

I don't have much to show this week as my husband and I are moving. We are in the middle of packing and getting all ready to go. I must say that I hate packing and I hope we never decide to do this again. Happy Stitching!

The first picture is the one that I had posted the last time.

I stitched on 272 Words for the first time in a couple of weeks and very pleased with my progress.

I also worked on Save the Stitches.

Weekly Stitching and Plans

Happy Second week of the New Year! I hope that everyone is enjoying all of their new 2017 starts. I have been thinking about the year and what I want to accomplish and I must say I have some very ambitious ideas of what I want to start and finish. I have also come up with a rotation plan that I think will work very well for me.

Rotation Plans
-Once the stitching starts on George Washington Crossing the Delaware, I will need to do about 125 stitches a day to stay on track, so I will do that each day.
-The monthly SAL's that I have joined will be worked when the new monthly pattern comes out until they are finished.
-One project of any size, that is not full coverage.
-One project that is full coverage.
-One Brookes Books Advent Animal ornament.
-The Sistine Chapel on Sundays. I started this piece so long ago and there is very little stitched on it. I will get this out and post a picture next week of where I am on it, but this is a picture of the finished project.

It is my plan to work on George daily and once the SAL's have been completed, which hopefully will be in the first week of each month, I will move on. For example:
Monday: George and then the project that is not full coverage.
Tuesday: George and then the project that is full coverage.
Wednesday: George and the Brookes Books Advent Animal Ornament.

Then I will repeat this plan until the first of the next month where I will do the SAL's once again the first week of the month. Once I finish one of the projects, I will add in another one that fits the criteria I have laid out. It just doesn't seem to work for me to count a certain number of stitches or a certain number of hours and then move to another project. It is too much to track and takes away from the time I can spend stitching. I am in hopes that this will allow me to have several more finishes than usual and to get quite a bit of work on my full coverage pieces. I also think it will allow me to spend more time concentrating on a couple of projects rather than jumping around so much and taking me so long to get a finish.


I have my first finish of 2017! This is Day 1 of the Brooke's Books Advent Animals. I apologize for the wrinkles, I was so excited about having a finish so quickly in the new year, that I took a pic as soon as I put in the last stitch.

I worked on Patriotic Quilt by Rosewood Manor this week.

What did you work on this week?
