Week 10/4 progress and 3 starts

Hi Blogger Friends.  Being in the hospital for 3 days doesn't make for productive stitching.  This is becoming a bad habit that I don't like but I am fine.

I added the dark green on the lower left side.

I am excited.  I got the black done on Frozen.

I added 1 strand of brown on the window frame.

I was doing really good on Alice last night until I had to frog about a 100 stitches.

My 3 Starts.  I still have 3 to start this month.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

Week 9/4 progress

Hi Blogger Friends.  A little progress this week.

I did 3644 stitches this month on Alice.  I need to do about 200 a day to finish her.

I did a 5 day counting challenge on Cars and did 1095 stitches.

So close to finishing the black.

One strand a day for the month.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

Week 8/4 progress

Hi Blogger Friends.  I had an okay stitching week.

The second half of the challenge I did 1418 stitches.  Total stitches for the 12 days - 2813.

I'm very close to getting 2 more page finishes.

I finished the rose and cover.

Alice in Wonderland by DoNa Stitch.  I did 574 stitches for a five day counting challenge.

New plans.  Kate (no blog) and I will be working/starting 6 stained glass charts from AvroraCS.  We will be working on a total of 11.  She has an app on her phone called the Super Wheel.  She listed the designs and spins the wheel.  What ever design comes up for the day we can do one strand, one hour, a hundred stitches or whatever we want.  I'm looking forward to this one.  We will start Dec. 1 and continue next year.

Second thought,  I'm going to be 70 (oh my gosh) next year,  I have a few ideas.  Work on 70 different projects (other than my normal ones) in the year,  A combo of finishes, starts and UFO's,  I figure I can work on each one for 5 days.  Anybody want to join me??

Week 7/4 progress

Hi Blogger Friends.  Thank you for stopping by and leaving such encouraging comments.  They are greatly appreciated.  It's just so sad that so many people have quit blogging.  I really miss all of them.

I had some better progress this week.

I did 1395 stitches on Cars in 6 days.  I'm very sad.  This is the last counting challenge of this kind that the group is going to do.

Still way behind on Alice and the Flamingo for the month.

So close to finishing the black on Frozen.

So tired of stitching with blue.  (Sure wish it was my favorite color - green.)

Keeping up with Alice.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

PS  New stitching plans starting next month.  Stay tuned.

Week 6/4 with not a lot of progress

Hi Blogger Friends.  I had a bad stitchy week so not much progress.

But, I did almost get Two Mater done.  I did 1118 stitches for the 2 week challenge.  Now the group is doing another 2 week counting challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

Week 5/4 progress

Hi Blogger Friends.  Thank you for the nice comments on my last posts.  Faith asked who the Christmas piece was by.  It is Christmas Spirit with Charm by Lizzie Kate.  I made some decent progress this week.

I'm working on Tow Mater for a mini stitching challenge.

When I look at Alice it doesn't seem like I have alot left.  But, when I look at the chart pages it feels like I won't get her done this year.

Still enjoying working on Beauty.

Another 650 stitches on this Alice.

Still doing 2 strands a day on Frozen.  I see an end in sight for the black so I may start doing 3 strands a day.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

Week 3/4 progress

Hi Blogger Friends.  Thanks for the nice comments.  Needless to say my first week stitching plans flew out the window and blew away with the breeze.  New plans coming up next week.

I didn't work much on Alice this week but I did get her hair done.

1193 stitches added to Cars for 6 days and 18 day total 3735  Only 6 days left.  Only 3 sections of red left on Lightning.

I'm down to the bottom of Beauty.  I have 11 roses and the bottom and a little side border left.  I would like to get the black done by Thursday.  I will be starting Alice by AvroraCS on Thursday doing a strand a day.

I worked on Frozen but not everyday.

I finished the Lizzie Kate Christmas piece and will post it for the smalls SAL.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

Week 2/4 progress

Hi Blogger Friends.  I made some pretty good progress this week.

I did 1237 stitches for 6 days and a total of 2542 stitches for 12 days on Cars.

I have finished 9 out of 18 pages on Alice.  The next 3 pages are partly done.  If I do about 200 stitches a day I can get her done by the end of the year.

I've been doing 2 strands of black a day on Beauty and should have the black done in 10-14 days.  Excuse the mess.  It's getting really hard to get the whole piece in one picture.  I have 2 pages left.

1 strand a day on Frozen.  May do 2 a day after Beauty is done.

Sad progress.

Thanks for stopping by.   Linda

Week 1/4 progress

Hi Blogger Friends.  It's nice not to have to think up blog titles.  LOL  I made some progress this week.

I joined in again with the Ultimate Cross Stitch group on FB with their Oct. 1 - 24 bingo.  I love these SAL's.  I get so much stitching done.  1305 stitches for the first 6 days on Cars.

Alice has eyes and I will finish her face today.

I started doing 2 strands of black a day on Beauty and the Beast to try and get the black done this month.

My strand a day on Frozen.

A little progress on my Christmas piece.

A very special THANK YOU to all of you who always leave comments on blog.  They are truly appreciated.
