Here, there, and everywhere!
Hi all! Hope you're all doing well! It's a very overcast day here. We're supposed to get a bit of that boom cyclone weather that's hitting the PNW right now. Hope those of you in the middle of that are dry and safe. It'll be a trickle of boom cyclone by the time it reaches us here in AZ. As for my title, I've been all over with my stitching! I have a finish that wasn't a part of my WIPs, I have progress on two WIPs, and I still have a hankering for starting things! So let's show the finish..this is Winter Gingham by Twisted Threads..
On the called for 28ct Graziano Gingham, the yellowish one. 1 over 1!! Yeppers! It's just a tiny thing but it's all 1 over 1. I had a very hard time stitching the parts that took lots of stitching, the snowman and the house. There may or may not be mistakes in those two parts! The alphabet was easy and I flew over all that. I also had to put a black hat on the snowman, and substituted colors for those I didn't have. It's the cutest little thing ever but I don't know if I will do 1 over 1 on 28ct again!
Progress-after I finished Christmas Garden, I chose out of the hat Town of Halloween and put in some good progress..
Last time all I had was the entire left side and over to part of the second house. I put that down and drew another WIP and it turned out to be Winter at Beacon House!
I've stitched in part of the lighthouse and filled in a few places in the sand. My goal is to fill in the snowy areas amongst the alphabet. It's 19 inches long so I've got a ways to go yet.
Yup, that's an FFO in the making! You all better go out and buy lottery tickets because I have 2 more in the queue! It has been a year since I fired up my sewing machine. It's been a rough year so there's that. That's Quaker Boo by the Sampler Girl with everything that is going on it. I bought poly fil yesterday so I can stuff it. Next are 2 ornaments awaiting the same treatment..
Red House in Winter by LHN. All 3 will be pinkeeps. This next one is a Brittercup design..
I have the ribbons picked out for this one. Such Christmas-y colors. I have much more to FFO so stay tuned!
That's it folks! I'll be back a week from today as I haved joined Jo/Serendipitous Stitcher for the Halloween blog hop. I am really looking forward to tha!
Take care and stay safe and healthy!

Buenos dias Shelly desde el otro lado del Atlantico¡¡¡....me gusta muchisimo tus trabajos,y dseando verlo acabados¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteShelly, I always love your stitching. Good luck with the finishes. I need to do that too. We did get hit pretty bad with the bomb cyclone. No power for most of yesterday. I really can't complain as two people were killed when a large tree fell on their car! I am counting my blessings!
ReplyDeleteI adore tiny stitching! Over one on 28 is one of my favourite ways to stitch Smalls. 32 is a step too far!
ReplyDeleteBoth your houses look great too, very different.
Looking forward to seeing what you share on Sunday, I'll be doing the emails tomorrow.
Oh, my goodness, I love that Winter Gingham finish, Shelly! So cute and tiny--and you know I love small. Your winter piece is looking lovely as well and I know your next three finishes will be wonderful. Hope you didn't get too much of that scary weather--crazy the way the coasts are both getting slammed. I'll take my home in western PA any day :) Ha ha! Happy Halloween to you ♥
ReplyDeleteOh my, I have not yet attempted 1 over 1 on 28, yours looks beautiful! The start of Halloween Town is now on my list. I think this hop is going to be expensive.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the rough year. Here, too. My finishing/framing sessions are so infrequent I have to get as much done as I can because I might not get back to it for a year!
