New Progress Pic

Hey Everyone!

For those in the US, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Hubby and I went to his nephew’s home out of state for overnight.  It was fun getting to be with his family. The holiday is why I didn’t post a WIP Wednesday update this week.

Apart from gifts for hubby, I’m ready for Christmas.  I’ve had all my decorations up since the 13th.  That includes all 5 of my Christmas trees.

I do have progress on a cross stitch piece:  Rapunzel.  I got some stitching time last night and finished a page!

I used my randomizer app (called Daily Decisions) to pick my next project.  It’s a new start called Hearts and Roses.  It’s a small band sampler from Cross-Stitch & Needlework magazine, May 2007.

I’ve also pulled most of the threads for the 2026 HAED SAL. I will be doing Glistening Wings (dragonflies).

Happy Stitching!

WIP Wednesday +

 Hey!

I know I missed WIP Wednesday last week.  I didn’t have much progress on my new project, but I did finish the page on my SAL piece on Monday!

This gave me 6 full pages stitched which will earn me all the SAL charts from this year.

I switched projects and am working on Rapunzel again.  It’s nice to work on it again, plus it only uses 13 colors so less thinking required.

Oof, the photo does not do it justice.  I’ll try for a better pic next week.

Happy Stitching!

WIP Wednesday

 Hey!  

I remembered to post today.  Yea me!

Here’s my progress on my current WIP, Jelly World:

I’ve also made some more crocheted snowflakes, but I haven’t starched them yet so no photo…for now.

Happy Stitching!

WIP Wednesday

 Hey All!

I thought I’d try doing a weekly WIP Wednesday post.  Hopefully, I’ll stick with it—it’s meant to motivate me to post more.

So this is my progress as of today:

This is Jelly World, one of the patterns in this year’s HAED SAL (there were twelve to choose from, I chose this one).  I’m currently on page 7.

Happy Stitching!

A Few Finishes!

 Hey!

I finished my Sweet Pea Gazebo Sampler from The Victoria Sampler!  I finished it this past Friday but have felt a little under the weather, so I didn’t post about it until now.

I changed the poem ‘cause I’m not really fond of the “All things bright and beautiful” poem that was charted.  The poem I used is by Alfred Noyes and was perfect for this sampler.

The next project for my now empty scroll frame is Grizz from Heaven and Earth Designs.  First though, I’m back to working on my SAL piece Jelly World.

I have been working on crocheted snowflakes lately too.  Here are the ones I’ve finished including the starching.  I have at least 7 more that still need to be starched.

Happy Stitching!

HAED SAL progress

 Hi!

I finished page six on Jelly World last night!  I’m really liking the looks of this pattern!  Can’t wait to finish it even though I can pretty much guarantee that I won’t get it done by the end of the year.

I’m taking a short break from it to work on my Sweet Pea Gazebo band sampler.

Happy Stitching!

I finally did it!

 Hey!

Well, I finally did it.  I got my original pattern "Mother's Tree" listed for sale in my Etsy shop.  I have 2 versions:  one where you chart out your family names/dates and one where I chart all the names/dates for you.

You can find both versions in my shop at:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/XedStitches

Happy Stitching!
