Finish 19 and 2018 plans

Hi Blogger Friends.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got lots of stitchy stash from Santa.  I bought myself 17 charts from 123 Stitch.  (Cause ya know I don't have enough.) lol

Finish 19
The Mad Hatter by MrsPeggottyArts on Etsy
14ct white aida
Started 2-11-17
Finished 12-30-17

I didn't do as good as last year with the finishes but better than I thought.  In my defense I have crocheted 4 afghans, 1 toddler and 5 baby blankets.  I'm still working on a baby blanket and 2 afghans.

I am going to try and explain my monthly stitching plans for 2018 so they make sense.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are sorts free days.  More likely to play catch up on the challenges.

Thursday - Little House/Country Cottage Needleworks - FB SAL group.  You pick a series from either designer and stitch on one a month.   I will be doing LHN Hometown Holiday and maybe the new Farmhouse series.

Friday - Tiny Modernist - 50 State SAL on Stitch Maynia - I will work on 1 state a month

Saturday - Clouds Factory - Princess SAL on Stitch Maynia - I will work on 1 princess chart a month

Sunday - Lizzie Kate - a Christmas ornament a month for Stitch Maynia - Smalls SAL

5.  12 Days of Christmas by Satsuma Street for Kaye's Christmas Ornament blog

6.  Gifted Gorgeouness being hosted by Jo

7.  Zodiac SAL being hosted by Jo

8.  Soda Stitch SAL on FB - Stitch on any fairy tale chart - I am starting Fairy Tale 1

9.  Full Coverage Fanatics FB group - do 1200 stitches a month on the same piece - I am starting Chip and Dale by Avrora on Etsy

10.  Weekend SAL with Kate on Alice in Wonderland by DoNa Stitch on Etsy

11.  Alice in Wonderland by MrsPeggottyArts on Etsy - SAL with Jo - 100 stitches a day

12.  Ultimate Cross Stitch FB group is doing a month something next year but I don't know what yet

Okay, you can all call my nutso now.  I will be hard pressed to get it all done in January as I am still crocheting 2 afghans.  Don't know what my excuse will be for the other 11 months.  I will be doing a weekly update on Mondays starting with the 8th.

I wish you all A VERY HEALTHY, STITCHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

Christmas display and almost a finish

Hi Blogger Friends.  Thank you for all of the nice comments.  I truly appreciate them. 
Here is this years Christmas display.  Sorry for the not so good pictures.










Mad Hatter my MrsPeggotyArts on Etsy.  10 days of stitching and 3437 stitches later I almost have a finish.  I have about 1300 stitches left.  I WILL finish it this year.


I'm still working on next years stitching schedule.  In fact I bought a planner yesterday.  I will be back with a finish and stitching plans the end of the month.

I want to wish all of you (my friends) a very Merry Christmas.  Hope you all get lots of stitchy presents.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

Final count on NaNoStitchMo

Hi Blogger Friends.  Thank you for all of the nice comments.  I managed to work on a total of 40 Clouds Factory projects in November.












I also crocheted another baby blanket.


I signed up for 3 SAL's on FB but not sure I will accomplish them this month.  I have orders for 2 crocheted baby blankets and 2 afghans.  In fact, Beth ordered the afghans for her 2 sons that are in collage in Ohio.  She would like them mailed to them the middle of January.  My love of stitching and crocheting will always keep me busy.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda
