This months question is "Tell us how this year’s stitching is going for you so far, and if you’re meeting your stitching goals so far for the year." I did not make any plans this year other then stitch all for me. I have so far stayed on track other then 1 project for my friend with cancer. I can not plan that for later so I did it up real quick. I have several completions and a good amount done on my Christmas Cottage, I am pleased with the progress and hope for a couple more finishes.
What have I done since my last progress update??????? I have worked on Christmas Cottage charted by HAED art work is Dona Gelsinger. I have worked on Minerva and got the tree, moon and part of the leaves done. And I have worked on Beauty and the Beast.
I finished this mini Mill Hill snowmanhe was won from a Facebook competition. Very cute and quick.
On the personal side my birthday was at the beginning of the month and I got my annual handmade card from my oldest sister. She is a scrapbooking master and makes gorgeous cards for the family. I also went a bit goofy and I got a tattoo. I never thought I would get one but the idea came to me. I love snowmen and especially Olaf from frozen. The sentiment about melting is a good one so I added the snowflakes for hubby and our kids and there you go. This picture was taken as soon as it was complete, I will show a new picture when it has finished healing and peeling so you will see the colors better
The deer are all over the place up at the house one after noon came home from work and the doe was lying under the trees out of the sun. Later in the evening a buck and his 2 ladies went trotting by the front window.
And finally on a very sad note I had to put my sweet girl down today. She had quit eating and drinking and we had to let her go. It was not fair to make her suffer, and be selfish. So we said our goodbyes and let her go. 18.5 years of love and companionship. She was such a character and the best darn huntress. Had at least 1 dead critter per day and she liked to share. No more being supervised when I am in my sewing room and no more over the shoulder viewing when I am stitching.
Gorgeous stitching! I finally started my Christmas Cottage, but am only on the second page. Yours makes me want to do nothing but stitch. ALL. DAY.
ReplyDeleteLove your tattoo! I have several, and just got two more small ones a few weeks ago. Mine all have a special meaning to me, and I love what yours represents:)
It has taken me 2+ years to get to this point on my cottage so slow and steady is the way to go. I really want to have this row complete by the end of the year. so I may be devoting more time to it. Thanks for the rely.
DeleteLove our progress and your tattoos I have one that I did with my daughter on a mommy daughter day out. I'm thinking about getting another one with my 2 girls, but can't decided what to do.
ReplyDeleteI love your witch as well, I have 2 of them in my stash to start one day, but just can't seem to get to that day.
Thank you. The witches are very nice to stitch. I have 2 others finished already as companions to this one.
DeleteAwesome progress on your wips! The Mill Hill snowman is super cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, he was very fun.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching and a belated Happy Birthday! So sorry to hear about your kitty:(
ReplyDeleteGreat progress, your Christmas cottage looks amazing! The tattoo is cool and I'm sorry about your cat.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching! Minerva is on my to-do list as well. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. That must have been such a hard decision, even if your brain told you it's for the best.
