January 2022 Update

 Hi all,

Hope you all are doing well in the new year. Just heard from my friend that she has been sick for the last two weeks - Hope she gets better soon. 

My Sister, BIL and his father came down with Covid they are all doing fine. We stay isolated to ourselves so we are doing good. Some scheduled Dr appts in Feb.

I completed a Dimension Kit Long Legs I have had for a long time. His name is Bob Sled. I took my time making him and I am happy with how he turned out. 

I stitched and completed the Bent Creek Freebie Groundhog Day. He is FFO'ed. 9-15 January 2022. 

I am working on the Jabco January Teapot and Teaspoon. I have started my T-shirts Quilt . I am also working on my Vervaco Needlepoint kit. Trying to work on them every day even for a little bit. Need to do some vinyl cutting done also. 

Hope you all are doing well.

Hope you can stitch

Til next time,

Wrapping up 2021! On to 2022

 Hi,

This year overall has been good, camping in PA, camping in DE and MD. Trip to Arkansas to move my nephew and to see his sister and fiancé. This year had me stitching, reading and a whole lot of video gaming. Keeping up with the house and its needs. 

I stitched and ffo'ed. That is quite a bit of stitching for me this year.  I cant believe I stitched and FFO'ed 18 projects. That is fantastic. 

I ffo'ed.

I made my goal I read 52 books this year and I read 53.  Enjoyed most of them. I plan to read 52 books in 2022.

Handy Hand Towel November Completed

 Hi,

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you are able to see your family this week. I finished the Leisure Arts Handy Hand Towel for November. Started Sept 2021 and finished it today 23 November 2021. Have not been stitching as I was but I did get it completed. All 12 towels in that book are now stitched. On to other projects that have been waiting. Seems like I am better at being a monogamous stitcher. So on to Plum Street Sampler Brew Ha Ha (complimentary chart).

Til Next Time,

Sue n DE

Until next time,

March Update

 Hi everyone,

Doing well here still social distancing in Delaware. Go out for the necessities.  They opened up the shots for Delaware and got our first dose. Hope you all are doing well. Some stitching this month the Handy Towel for March is all I completed. Took me longer didn't stitch everyday. 

Working on April now. 

I FFO'ed the Twisted Threads Rabbit into a pillow that I finished stitching Jan 2019 . I gifted the chart to a lady that asked  for it when I showed my stitching on my blog. Haven't heard if she stitched it. 

I FFO'ed the Bunny in a Car ( i need to look up who designed). I don't have a record of when I stitched it. I know I was going to the spring cross stitch retreat and remember stitching it there.  I finished in a frame that my sister gave me and added the eggs and carrots to the top. Haven't been to a retreat in two years.  Hopefully next year. 

Hope you all are able to stitch. Hope you all are healthy. Take Care and Stay Safe,

Sue in DE
