As The World Turns....

The stitching continues! Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing fine! So, I feel like I was just here a couple days ago posting but it's been nearly 2 weeks tomorrow. How can that be?! I've lost about a week somewhere.

So grab a drink😊and have a seat and let's look at what I have stitched,...

My 61 SAL continues with Week 13

From the 2011 issue of JCS ornaments. It's been on my radar that long! Using the called for DMC and my linen is a mystery. There's not much more stitching left for a finish and it'll be a flat ornament once I get my hands on more sticky mat board. 

I'm going to go off subject here but I'm pretty bummed that Joanne's is closing. They're the only place I've found that has 'flat' mat board. Hob Lob has some but they're curved. I don't know if the packaging causes that but I'm afraid my finished piece will be curved too. I might look into the Fat Quarter Shop for some since the Housewives buys theirs from the Shop and it doesn't looked curved.

Week 14 is a bigger piece...

Morticia's Second Line. I'm using Endora 36ct by Needle and Flax, a first and I'm liking it! You'll have to click on the picture to see it closer. I've stitched more since yesterday and have the entire skeleton horse's head stitched in along with the Bourbon sign. 

In between the above starts, I worked on a couple of WIPs. First is Flowers of Freedom..

This might've been my Week 2 start. I finished the top flag and am now working on the 2nd flag. It's going to be very bright and pretty.

Aaand once again, I brought out Martha...

I stitched in more of the house. 

No finishes this time around.

 I have pictures of the 2 trees I talked about last post. First one is the Ornamental Pear...

Isn't it pretty?! They're hardy, like dry environments. They're mostly on a drip irrigation system. I'm not sure they'd survive without the drip system.

The Ornamental Plum has pink or magenta flowers...

We've eaten the plums and they're not bad, very small and not super sweet. They sure are pretty when they bloom.

Next topic....Scammers!

I have fought the good fight, they are relentless! Good thing I have comment moderation! I report them as spam and then delete. All from some kind of Embroidery Digitizing but we all know that's a sham! After I would delete, within minutes another would show up! It's so bad.

This was a short but sweet post! Probably one of my shortest! It's warmed up here, hitting middle 70s and got up to 83 last week. I've peeled off one blanket and actually went to bed with no fluffy socks on, haha. Not looking forward to the 90s though, ugh.

Stitch all the things and stay safe!
