to catch up on i had a finish previously posted a new start and worked on some of my wips i finished baby girl spring sunshine line brooke s books i posted a photo in my sfs post but will post again here because i finished the birth record i got to start a new project cozy christmas santa by jim shore mill hill once finished i will be turning it into an ornament i finished all the stitching and am about halfway done with the beading which is much more sparkly in real life than is showing up in the picture i also worked on autumn sampler and the balloon autumn sampler before after the balloon before after she looks a bit creepy right now haha but hopefully not for much longer hope you all have a good rest of the week happy stitching posted by unknown at 6 14 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday august 29 2015 stitch from stash august and july month july and august spent 55 00 earned 8 i finished spring sunshine line carry over 3 hi all i felt like i spent a lot the past two months so i m honestly surprised i m still in the black a substantial portion of my spending was for finishing supplies so i was happy to reread the sfs rules and discover that didn t count towards my spending as it is nearing the end of summer i bought a couple patterns to try to finish before christmas this will be my first christmas at my home because previously i was 12 hours away from my family and would travel a week at christmas to see them so decorating at my own place felt unnecessary now after the move i am less than an hour from my family so i get to decorate to begin my decorating i purchased a couple items at my favorite online stitchy store s christmas in july sale the first is a santa ornament cozy christmas santa by jim shore mill hill eventually i want to purchase and stitch the whole set but i started with this one because i love the quilted look of his robes i also purchased another christmas pattern by the same designer snowman and like the santa ornaments i would love to stitch this set as well there are four in the set snowman santa reindeer and tree and my biggest purchase of the month which i cannot believe did not end up breaking my stitch from stash bank was an item that has been at the top of my wishlist for almost two years and which i knew i would buy eventually but it is a rather pricey kit for my budget and i had decided to wait until i finished another one of my bigger projects but then i found out two weeks ago that it was being discontinued and luckily i was able to find it from a seller with a discount before it disappeared from the marketplace completely this is art nouveau by mucha primrose by lanarte i love love love this artwork and this design i was also very excited to discover that although the kit lists 14 ct aida as the fabric it is in fact 28 ct evenweave inside i am trying to restrain myself from starting i am trying not to grow beyond my 8 wips which let s face it is what i said at 4 and 5 and 6 but 8 really is enough for me and is the perfect number for my new rotation speaking of my rotation this week my focus piece was the baby sampler for my future niece which i am happy to say is not only finished it is a ffo i finished it on the day she was born obviously the pink ribbons in the center of the blanket are digital covering up her name and birth date i really enjoyed creating this i love the 3 d effect and all the different special details made out of ribbon beads metallics and memory thread i mounted the stitched clothes line pieces on a burlap backing i found at walmart already mounted on a frame and used lace on the corners to fancy it up a little i have several of brooke s books spirit angel ornaments and i loved creating this so much the final touches were almost even more fun than the stitching that i will definitely be working on one of the ornaments in the near future and whew i have written a lot thank you all for reading and your comments and i look forward to reading your posts this month happy stitching posted by unknown at 10 07 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday july 31 2015 late july wipocalypse check in hi all i was bad and didn t post for the early july wipocalypse or july stitch from stash this month this summer has been jam packed with an office move at work housesitting for my parents for the past two weeks and a vacation to the beach despite the lack of blogging time i have had a really fun summer so far and i hope you all are having one too i have lots of updates from the last two months so here we go 3 new starts my most recent start is spring baby girl sunshine line brooke s books i am making this birth record for my future niece each piece will be cut out after some embellishment with specialty stitches memory thread and beads and hung on a mini clothesline for a 3d effect a picture of the finished model is in my june sfs post i started this on july 8 and hope to have it finished except for the date of birth etc before she is born i have about half of the pieces stitched so far so it ll be close her due date is in late august i began my second start right before the baby sampler arrived i wanted to practice stitching on perforated paper because i d never stitched on paper before so i decided to start my first mill hill kit snowfall on july 2 this one got put aside once the baby sampler kit arrived but i plan to continue working on it and hope to have it finished by this winter and the last start i announced in my june stitch from stash post but i didn t show my progress this is the balloon by gorjuss designs bothy threads 1 finish i showed this in my june sfs post but for those of you who only follow the wipocalypse posts here it is again tree frog trio dimensions and progress on 2 wips besides my 3 starts i worked on primarily 2 wips the wave before after autumn sampler before after beauty and the beast my stocking and quiet time got about 100 stitches each not enough to really see much progress on those particular pieces so i m waiting to take progress pics i ll try to put more time in on those three over the next month so i can show you all some more significant progress with the three new starts and only one finish i am now at 8 wips total but i figure if they re in my stash anyway might as well work on them i have a few that are really calling to me that i haven t started yet but i m going to try to force myself to finish a couple of these first luckily my new starts are all small medium sized so they shouldn t take too long to finish happy stitching posted by unknown at 6 33 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday june 24 2015 stitch from stash june month june spent 33 39 earned 0 i had a finish but it was from a pattern i bought in february so not quite 6 months ago carry over 68 82 previous 25 this month 33 39 spent this month 60 43 left over from my budget from the last six months not too bad this group has really helped me keep track of and manage my spending habits my goal for the next half of the year will be to finish more projects this month s spending was entirely on a gift i will be stitching for my future sister in law and her second child who is due at the end of august she isn t a blog reader so i can share i stitched a baby sampler for her first child and decided i will stitch one for all future nieces and nephews as well the theme for the nursery is vintage with pastels and i found a lovely birth sampler pattern by brooke nolan brooke s books which fits the theme and color scheme perfectly spring baby girl sunshine line just waiting for the chartpack to arrive in the mail also included in the total spending listed above are the specialty threads i purchased for the pattern some kreinik braid and ribbon and dmc memory thread from my favorite online stitchy store i m very excited to stitch this i have a few brooke s books patterns and i love how intricate and three dimensional they are i was planning to stitch one of her spirit angel ornaments this year but it looks like that one will be saved for later so i can work on this and hopefully get it finished before the baby arrives in terms of stitching this month i finished tree frog trio yay and therefore got a new start here is my finish i started the balloon a gorjuss bothy threads design i only have a small portion of it stitched right now i ll upload a pic in my wipocalypse post but this is what it will look like finished i love the look of all of the gorjuss designs and i really love all of the purple in this one i will be back for stitch from stash b and i look forward to reading all of your updates happy stitching posted by unknown at 6 42 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday june 3 2015 june wipocalypse check in hi all it s the summer woot i graduated moved and just settled into a real life full time job this is my first week working but i must say i m already loving having evenings free no more homework or piles of grading waiting for me when i get home at night i didn t make quite as much progress as last month on my stitching but i did have a finish and a new start i included this pic of my finish in my sfs post but here is aurora cabin again i still love this piece as much if not more than when i first received the kit and i m so happy to see it finished and it only took me six years haha because i finished this i got to start a new wip to fill that slot in my rotation since all my other projects are quite large i chose tree frog trio dimensions to provide some variety and so that i don t have to wait several months for another finish it shouldn t take me long at all i ve already gotten one of the three frogs completed i also worked a little on two of my other wips and here is my progress autumn sampler before after the wave before after are you more productive stitching in winter or summer i am more productive in the summer i think just because i have a bit more free time without holiday traveling etc plus i have always been in school during the winter this will be my first year since age 3 that i will not be in school so i may end up getting a bit more cross stitching done in addition to wedding planning i actually don t think i have written about this in any of my previous posts but my now fiance proposed in march and we are looking at dates in fall of 2016 for the wedding so excited i have decided to update my wipocalypse goals from the beginning of the year to reflect the projects i have started autumn sampler and tree frog trio instead of the original projects i had listed i will post my updated goals in a day or two happy stitching posted by unknown at 5 47 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday may 25 2015 may sfs happy dance month may spent 0 earned 15 i finished aurora cabin dimensions gold i completed one page full coverage since january about half of which was tent stitch but i also stitched the backstitching couching and french knots for the whole design so i figure all of that equates to 15 carry over 28 82 25 this month 15 for finish 68 82 and here is my finish this was my oldest wip i started it in 2009 so it s very exciting to see it completed i love the finished effect of all the french knot stars i will post an updated picture once it is framed happy stitching posted by unknown at 11 39 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday may 4 2015 wipocalypse check in may 4 hi all it s finally may whew i graduate this coming weekend have job interviews lined up fingers crossed and move at the end of the month we are moving into a bigger place so i am looking forward to having a designated space for stitchy stuff i may post photos of it once i get it set up over the summer despite the continued crazy this month was a little less hectic than march and i was able to stick to my rotation working on all 6 of my wips my most recent start autumn sampler janlynn only had a few stitches in it at the time of my last post but after 5 evenings of stitching it actually is beginning to look like something i have never stitched a sampler style pattern like this before and i love it it just seems to move so quickly because it is not a full coverage pattern and each section is like a mini finish really enjoyed working on this project this month it was difficult to put it down beauty and the beast before after this is one is actually starting to look like something too now that i ve completed the gargoyle and started on the column aurora cabin before after the cross stitches and backstitching are complete just need to finish the couching and all of the french knot stars should be a finish by my next check in sleigh ride at dusk stocking before after the wave before after quiet time before after you can t really see it in this picture but i got to work with some kreinik 4 braid for the first time adding some sparkle to the edges of her tail very pretty but i understand why people dislike working with it i think the final result will be worth it though happy may and early mother s day and happy stitching posted by
