Another UFO finish

I am trying to get some things finished and so I pulled out another Crazy January Challenge. This is Stitchy Kitty St Paddy's Shamrock Paw.

UFO progress and a UFO finish

First is a pic of a UFO that I started several years ago and pulled out to finish this year. It is Joan Elliott's Christmas Angel from an issue of The Cross Stitcher magazine.

Then today I pulled out Stitchy Kitty Easter Egg Paw. I started this in January as part of a Crazy January Challenge and I finished it.

Dragons page finish - Halfway!

I know it's been awhile. Those that follow my personal stitching blog know I took a few months off as I was overwhelmed personally nevermind adding social media into the mix. Though I am slowly reentering the fray. And with that I have an exciting page finish to share. Dragons is now officially halfway!!! Here's the latest page finish:


And here is the whole piece to date:


I'm so very pleased with it!! :)
Hope everyone has been well and stitching away.

Tuscan Gardens II is finished!

Late on Thursday evening I put the final stitch into Tuscan Gardens.

Thanks to everyone on this blog who has given me encouragement with this one. At one stage it was my final UFO but in the last twelve months two projects that were stitched on regularly have sadly become UFOs.  They both have a Christmas theme, which might be why. Anyway I have started stitching one of them again.  Progress pics next time.

Nearly there!

This weekend was spent stitching my Tuscan Gardens UFO. Here it is.

I might just go ahead and finish this now instead of waiting for another weekend away. I don't know.

At Long Last

Jane Longstreth is finished! This sampler has been a work-in-progress since 2005 (or so) and was finished on 6-17-11. The sampler is a reproduction of one done by Jane Longstreth, a resident of Chester County, Pennsylvania, when she was 14 years old. The original is in the collection of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. It includes over-one stitching, stem stitches and satin stitches done on 36-count with AVAS threads.

Next UFO please step up

I have been reviewing the UFOs I have, and I think this one is probably the best to tackle over summer...due to the black Aida.
The design is a Janlynn one, called Tropical Waterline.
I bought it I would guess more than 13 years ago, possibly 15..with the intention of completing it and presenting it to my ex...then husband, for a birthday/Xmas/anniversary. He has a thing about fish being a Pisces. Anyway, it got pushed to one side as our relationship grew worse. But, I think after being divorced for almost 10 years, and being on better terms with him than I was in the breakdown of our marriage...I can bear to finish it and give it to him, as I intended when I started it. I'm not going to say how long each day I will work on it, because I know I won't manage it, but I will try to work for around 2 hours/week on it. That isn't a big ask. I'll try to post progress every other Sunday, and fingers crossed it will be finished before the winter starts to creep up on us.
