Week 1 of 2023!

 Hope your 2023 is off to a great stitchy start.

I managed a few finishes in 2022 and hope to mark off a few more finishes this year. 

1. Autumn at Hark Run Hollow

Block 3 is outlined and ready for some stitching.

2. Lady Justice

I'm almost finished with the lower right portion of her sash, then I'll continue with her dress.

3. Nevermore

Time to finish up the raven.

4. Cinnamon Stars

5. Outstretched Arms

6. The Game

7. As Life Wears Away

Are the WIPs that are now on the top of my stitching list. I also will be taking part in a few Challenges and SALs, again this year

WIPocalypse 2023

WIPGO 2023

Christmas Ornie SAL  and 

Halloween Cross Stitch Challenge are some that I'm taking part in so far.

Beading has also now a very prominent part of my crafting. I managed to complete a few projects last year as well. The inventory of beads and the pattern collection is expanding. Thus far I've been able to keep them organized so hopefully that will continue. Just need more hours in the day to get to everything.

Here's to a crafty 2023.

Thanks for stopping by,

GWEN

 

WIPocalypse 2017

WIPocalypse  hosted by Measi's Musings

I didn't cross off many items from my WIPocalypse list last year, so I will be working on those same items this year. I think I'll make a goals board to help me stay on track.  I am also adding My Stitching Treasures (MST) by Jeannette Douglas and Halloween at Hollyberry Farm (HaHF), by Stacy Nash. I don't have all of my fibers yet but I've started the frames for MST.

***

My finishes this month are my monogram sleigh and the needlebook  for Bristol Sampler Stitching Bag.
