Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!   I finished my "Halloween Pumpkin" a couple of weeks ago, but just got around to posting.  Stitched from a chart in the 2012 Halloween issue of Just Cross Stitch.  It is stitched on 28 ct Cashell linen, 2 over 2.  Glad I had it done by Halloween this year!

I am steadily working on my pile of WIPs, and making progress.  I hope to have at least one more finish by the end of the year.

My neighbors have put up a display on their front steps:

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

My September WIPocalypse Progress

It is time for another WIPocalypse Update!  I am nearing a finish on my "Halloween Pumpkin".  It is from the Just CrossStitch 2012 Halloween Issue and is stitched on 28 ct Cashell linen.  I hope to have this project completed by Halloween this year.

I also made quite a bit of progress on my Bothy Threads Cut thru' Gypsy Wagon.

And a little progress on my Long Dog Pandemic Sampler.

I am working on my WIPs and hope to have a few finishes by the end of the year.  Slow progress is better than no progress.

Happy Stitching!

My July WIPocalypse Update

                                 Bothy Threads cut thru' Haunted House

 It's time for another WIPocalypse update!  AND I have finishes!  I worked on Bothy Threads cut thru' Haunted House for the entire month of July, and it paid off.  

When I started the project in 2019, I took the light blue Aida that came with the kit and did a little dyeing to enhance it. This was one of my all time favorite projects to stitch.  I love all the little details.  

The other finish I have is an original design that I created to make a gift for my sister.  I stitched this cute puppy on plastic canvas, backed it with felt and turned it into a keyring.

Question of the Month:  What are the fully finished pieces (framed or other finish style) that you are most satisfied that you have done?

My holiday banners are some of my favorite finishes.  I like to swap them out as the seasons change.  I hope to make some more banners in the future. 

That's all for this month's update.  I'm happy to be stitching more and making progress on my projects.

Happy stitching!

My June 2025 WIPocalypse Update

Butterfly Forest

It has been a full year since I have posted a WIPocalypse update.  I have been battling eye problems for the past couple of years, which seem to have now stabilized.  I have a new pair of glasses, which are enabling me to see better and stitch easier.  Yay!  So ... I am once again making progress on my long list of WIPs.

I have been revisiting projects and here are the ones in which I have made the most progress:

Bothy Threads Cut thru' Gypsy Wagon currently:

Hopefully I will continue to make good progress and have a few finishes soon.  I don't plan on starting any new big projects this year, but will make a few ornaments before the holiday season.

Once again, "Happy Stitching!"
