Let's all raise our needles and thread... Here's to a new year, and hoping it's a good one!
Stitcher's Village hosted a 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway. I was a winner on one of the days. Here's the goodies that arrived in the mail:

Haven't had much time to stitch lately... Time and inclination, that is. However, I've been inching my way along on Midnight Watch.
Progress as of 12/18/14:
Progress at the end of today:
I started a new project to do on my lunch hour at work. It's a Sugarplum Express snowman ornament called Marvin and Pal. I think this one is an OOP kit because I can't find it anywhere online. Those Sugarplum Express characters are so adorable!
My last finish of 2014 is Merry Christmas Grumpy Kitty. I plan on making it into an ornament.
Design: Merry Christmas Grumpy Kitty
Designer: Brookes Books Publishing
Fabric: 18ct Red Aida
Fibers: Unknown Cotton, DMC
Embellishments: Snowflake Button
In yesterday's mail, I received a small Christmas present. It's so adorable. Debbie B in Canada stitched it for me. I've really appreciated her reaching out to me throughout this year.
Thank you, Debbie!
Once a year, I empty out my Ort Bag and start anew. These are the snippets of my 2014 projects:
You're doing great on your stitching Meari. I need to get mine out again.

I missed the last one...love Grumpy Cat! I can't wait to see the house finished. That really can't be the homestead, with no snow. Was last year's weather enough for both years?

It will be good to see your progress on Midnight Watch. I literally just got it before Christmas and it almost was my New Year's start but I opted to go with something smaller.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice package to win, Meari! And I love your little grumpy cat finish--I printed that chart off, too, and am thinking of stitching him for my middle son. Will enjoy watching your progress on Midnight Watch as that is another design in my "must-stitch" pile :)
