I must admit, I really liked how #stitchsania went. Focusing on one piece during the week had me feeling like I got a lot accomplished. I've kind of taken that mini-focus and kept on with it. I'm changing it up a bit by giving myself a goal with the focus piece. For example, yesterday's goal was to complete the black around Kringles on that piece. I almost got there! I'll finish that up tonight and pull out Sunflower Farm to work on - I was browsing through Everything CrossStitch's weekly sale and saw it and remembered I started it last year. It's a happy piece.
So, let's go through what I did last month.
First up was Calvin and Trixie by Stitching with the Housewives. I got a good bit done on this.
I am even further along now because I kept it out of the basket so it will be in my current rotation. I now have all of the green leaves complete, 2 more of the jack o lanterns, and have started on Calvin's face. I have a cute Halloween hanging piece I bought last year that I think this will hang from when finished.
Next was the Silent Night ornament by Hands on Designs.
Guess what? I finished it!
Isn't that adorable? I won't fully finish this until I have the whole set done. I have 6 left. Plus the rest of the mystery ornament. These will be coming back out in July when I stitch #jollyjuly
The third concentration piece was the squirrel part of the Bittersweet Trio by Waxing Moon Designs.
As you can see, I got a fair bit done.
This went back into the basket, but I think it will come out again soon to finish since The Squirrels move into a new house in a couple weeks and they can put this on the built in bookcase they'll have in their living room.
The last focus piece was Alice in Wonderland by Soda Stitches.
I'm really happy with what I got done on this.
I am not sure where all the thread colors for this went. I bought them all when I bought the pattern, but couldn't locate them lol So, I picked a couple colors I could put my hands on easily and stitched with those.
Until next time...
