Weekly progress March 1-21

 So I missed posting progress so far this month and decided to do a month to date instead.

Blueprint for the rainbow city

Serenity prayer

Plum pudding

I restarted Blackstone fantasy garden on different fabric

Mother’s bliss

Weekly progress February 5 - February 11

 I made some progress on a few projects:

Serenity prayer - My Big Toe Designs

Reflections of Ireland - Ink Circles

Mother’s bliss - Mirabilia

Plum pudding - Glendon Place

Catching up with Plum

 I have made some progress on Plum pudding over the last year.  Still not done but finally over half way; I would like to see this done this year.

Other January progress - so far

 I have been spending some time working on two other projects so far this month.  

I dug deep into the bin and pulled out Four season mandalas by Ink Circles and dusted off the started Summer...  the part that was done is the section that has colour filled in.  I am working at finishing up the outline - about half done now.

Also got out Plum Pudding.  An unofficial goal for this year is to finish this.... it's still early days so fingers crossed

Christmas break progress

 Christmas was very, very quiet.  None of the usual family get togethers happened this year following the recommendations of the Health Unit to not gather.  This meant that I had much stitching time.

Top of the basket: Plum Pudding

As the end of 2020 approaches an update on projects that actually saw the top of the project basket this year.

Plum pudding by Glendon Place... over the half way point finally.

State of the stitching - the catch up edition

I decided to post an update picture of the projects I have been working on recently.  

Blackstone fantasy garden 

Plum pudding

Autumn reflections

Serenity prayer

Templar prophecy

Sometimes too much is a bad thing

I have decided that I have too many projects on the go; there are so many choices that I can't decide which ones to work on.  So I made a short list of ones I will work on until I finally see some finished:

 Serenity Prayer version 2 - My Big Toes Designs

Autumn reflections - John Clayton/Heritage Stitchcraft

Tour des Marques - The Silver Lining






Plum pudding - Glendon Place

Blackstone fantasy garden - Ink Circles

I had planned to do some update blog posts during the month but those didn't happen.  Instead I give you the February Stitching In One Shot post

Progress on Plum Pudding

Serenity prayer - the words on the first page are almost done

And finally I did a little filling in of the border on Blackstone fantasy garden

A very good time

This past weekend I was off enjoying stitching retreat.  Three days of stitching and eating.... perfect winter event.  But it meant that I was busy in the days leading up to going, including putting together goodie "bags"

This time it was a snag nab it, bees wax, a 20 yard skein of Threadworx, a lindt ball, an animal eraser and for a bit of silly a pillow emoji keychain all in a snap lid box.

 I worked on two projects

Plum Pudding and

Dragons of Sumatra, I actually also did a little bit for Ink Circles Monday as well.  I have the start of dragons now

Now it is back to catching up on things and hoping for better weather.

Update: Plum Pudding

This week I managed to do a little stitching on Plum Pudding.  Not as much as I had hoped to get done but I got busy and didn't have as much time as I wanted.

Purple Blobs

I meant to do an update earlier this week but it didn't happen.  I remembered to take the picture when I got home so now I have to excuses.

After finishing Jingles I decided to get out Plum Pudding for a little while:

I have an idea for my what I want to work on but it might be a little too crazy.  You might remember that I started all 12 day of the Just Nan 12 Days of Christmas in January.  I've finished 1 and am thinking I should work on them until they're done.  See?  Crazy!!

Triple Play

I have been meaning to update progress for the last week but never seemed to get it done - clearly.

I have been doing my best to remain Olympics free - not a sports fan; the people at work don't seem to share in that.

On to the good stuff - stitching update:

Plum pudding - had to frog and re-do a little

CdC - yay the sides match

Brush off the dust: Plum Pudding

I have more than a few projects collecting dust in the stitching bag.  Seeing I'm blogging everyday this month I thought having a visit with each of them would be a neat idea.  

First up - Plum pudding by Glendon Place

Last seen: January

Chance of being seen in the next few months: Zip (subject to change without notice)

Kathy was very nice in September and cut and serged the fabric. 

Productive Weekend

Weekend's over, it's still cold out.

It was a fairly good weekend stitching wise, didn't get a lot of other things done that are on my to do list.

Here is the progress:

Tour (I'm trying to get my confetti filled in so I can get going on this in a more productive method, getting close now)

And Plum Pudding

And now back to stitching

And the kitchen sink

Oh where to start....

Progress on current pieces

There's winter (edging closer to being 1/4 done)
