October is History

October has come and done. My One-a-Day Challenge is over. I didn't finish Halloween at Hollyberry Farm but I made a lot of progress. Most of the really dense stitching is done. I do have the border and quite a few motifs to add. I only missed stitching on this piece one day this month. Hope to have a new project to work on for the next challenge.

The picture doesn't shoe it but I've started on the border on the right.

Almost Mid-month

My One-a-Day Challenge is going well. I've managed to stitch everyday this month so far. I've been moving around and stitching in a couple of different areas. The vine at the left side of the house is done. I'm working on the basement and steps of the house, as well as the top borders. The numbers are done and the letters should be done by the next update.

Trying to get back to my semi-rotation of projects. November and December are the last two monthly Flips-Its on my to do list.

I have a finish!!! Yeah! 

I decided to leave off the bottom area.  I would love to find a small snowflake to replace the heart button.

October One-A-Day Challenge

October 1, 2019 the calendar says Fall started on the 23 September but someone didn't get the memo. Today the temperature reached 96° F and our low is predicted to be 80° F which we won't see/fell till 11 PM. Not your expected Fall weather.

I'm accepting Melissa's Challenge to stitch at least One(stitch)-a-Day during the month of October. This will be the last One-a-Day Challenge for 2019. I plan to continue working on Stacy Nash's Halloween at Hollyberry Farm and will be adding Tis the Season, by Blackbird Designs. Time will tell if I can get in one stitch daily on each or if I will alternate. Either way I hope to make some progress on both.

This is my starting point:

Mid-July Update

The month is running away from me. I planned to work on my Christmas ornament stitching but I haven't made as much progress as I'd hoped. I've only completed 2 of the mini pieces I planned to stitch this month. 
My biggest achievement has been on Halloween At Hollyberry Farm. I've taken the challenge at FB WIPocalypse, July One-Per-Day . Hope to have this never-ending house done soon.

I have a new start. Gary and Vonna of Fiber Talk made me do it. :-) I got a small start on Saturday. Plans are to work on this on Sundays and Wednesdays while listening  to Fiber Talk. Need to get a doodle cloth to try reversible cross stitch.

June 2019 Update

Well it appears that I slept through June. Just one single post. I did manage to get some stitching done. I finished three small pieces last month.

June is finished. I think, I have only 4 more months to stitch. Still not sure how I'll finish these.

The theme for the June Halloween Ornie SAL was Witch. I stitched Family Portrait from 2013 Just Cross Halloween Ornament Magazine. I couldn't find any of my Tokens and Trifles perforated paper so I used regular white perforated paper.

My main WIP is still Halloween at Hollyberry Farm.

I finally started on the first floor. For the month of July, Melissa of the FB WIPocalypseSAL page has challenged us to a July One-Per-Day Event. The object is to pick a project and stitch at least one stitch on it each day. I'll be working on HRH again.

May 2019 and Stitch Maynia are in the rear view mirror

The month of May and Stitch Maynia are in rear view mirror. This is what I was able to accomplish in May.

1: Work at least One Stitch per Day on Halloween At Hollyberry Farm (missed 2 days). I managed to complete the roof and top floor. 

 2: Stitch Lizzie Kate October 31 (complete) I've starting the finishing but I'm not sure I like the shape. If I can find the motivation I may take it out and redo the finishing.
 3: Stitch Lizzie Kate A Bit of May (complete)
 4: Stitched and Finished Tudor Rose Strawberry (complete) This was such a fun stitch. Looking forward to the next club piece.
 5: Stitch on Blackbird Design's Merry Christmas Drum (stitched some , not as much as planned)

March: First Week of 1 Stitch A Day

I didn't get a start on March Flip It Bits until Thursday. Hope to have it done in the next few days. My main focus has been on Halloween at Hollyberry Farm and Christmas Quaker Garden Needle Roll. 

Halloween at Hollyberry Farm is my focus piece for March. It's my project for Melissa's 1 Stitch per Day Challenge over on FB's WIPocalypse SAL. I added one flower at the top border, then moved on to the willow tree. Just a few more 'branches' of leaves and the tree will be finished. I moved it to a larger set of Q-Snaps (11 inch) and I'm planning on working the top and left border as I add the motifs.

(starting point for week 2)

I intended this to be a needle minder but the magnet I used isn't strong enough. I've been using it to hold my chart in the magnetic board instead. I'll be looking for some stronger magnet at the craft store or online. It turned better than expected and took less than 10 minutes to make. 

The second piece I've been working on is Christmas Quaker Garden Needle Roll. Three more weeks for my class. The scissor fob  and pinball are stitched. Now I'm working on the needle roll and pocket.

Thanks for Stopping by,

Happy Stitching
