Life is better

 On January 1st I started the annual New Year SAL project.  This time we picked a small, easier project.  I managed to get in done in January as well which was a change (lol)

Mystery project revealed

 This summer I decided it was time for a feline companion.  Basically I was getting tired of talking to myself; one of my cousins had a barn cat who had kittens in the spring and they were ready for a home.  My parents were nice enough to agree to house train the new kitten and take her for her kitten exams and fixing at the vet we used way back when I was a teenager.  She is all grown up now and acting like a teenager so she has been shipped home lol.

In July

Sylvester in December

As a thank you, I decided to stitch them a little something.  I decided on Bent Creek's Kitty cat row.  Mom has decided to have it finished as a pillow which I will start working on soon.

Happy Christmas row

 I started this in July (aka Christmas in July) and managed to put in the last stitches last month.  

Happy Christmas row by Bent creek. Regular DMC for thread

Baby row

In July I finished Baby row by Bent Creek.  This was a gift for my cousin’s new baby Rose who was born in April.  It is now framed and at it’s new home but I forgot to get a picture of it all framed.

Summer mandala

 In March I finished Summer mandala from Ink Circles’ Four seasonal mandalas.  I am now half done the set; Winter is also finished. No timeline on when the next season will start.

French country wreath

 Just before the end of the year (2020) I managed a finish!

Stitch well - a little finish

 I decided I wanted a small project; most of the things in the "started" pile are bigger so I went poking and found a little freebie from JBW Designs - 80x90

So I also decided to stitch it over one on 28 count - because clearly I have lost my mind

Hearts Aflutter

In July I got to thinking.... wouldn't it be cool for there to a finished 1897 Schoolhouse Sampler's project on the brag wall at the Knowledge and Needles Open House in August as a surprise for the designer who would also be there?

So an evil plot was born.... and I dragged Bonnie along too

And I managed to finish with a week to spare.
