What I have been up to in January 2021

 Good Morning,

I cant believe it is the end of January already. Today on the east coast we are getting snow. For us it will snow for a couple of hours and then turn to rain. So no shoveling as of right now, unless the storm changes.

I have been up in the craft room quite a bit in January. We don't go out too much. Grocery, a ride around once a week and seeing my sister when we can. 

I have stitched and ffo'ed the Leisure Arts Handy Towel for January (4 Jan - 24 Jan). 


I stitched and ffo'ed the February Mini Cat (24 Jan -25 Jan) from https://happinessiscrossstitching.com/2015/01/freebie-friday-new-mini-cat-patterns.html and the Valentines Cat  (25 Jan -26 Jan) https://happinessiscrossstitching.com/2014/02/santas-village-progress-and-new.html.To me these are cute Valentines day patterns.


I also stitched Snoopy Heart https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4686/25346254058_d5e7afff2f.jpg


I ffo'ed  Kiss Me that I stitched a long time ago. In my stash from Pat Smith I ffo'ed the Pig.


I also stitched Brooks Books Merry Christmas Max. http://www.brookesbooks.com/CrossStitchFreebies3.html 

I will post a picture after I stitch Mr Grinch. Hope you all are doing well and are healthy. Til next time,
