First finish for 2016!!

FINALLY! I have my first finish for the year!

Isn't he cute?! I love this little guy!! I started him the day after Christmas and just finished him a few minutes ago!! I can't believe it's taken so long!! Of course I've had a lot of things taking up my time other than just stitching lately, plus I work a rotation, so I wasn't working JUST on him. 

But boy, does it feel great to have a finish!! 

I am aiming to also finish page 2 of Day Surrendering to Night by the end of this month. I have less than a complete column to go until I see a finish on it. 

So next time I post I will share my update on DS2N. 

Hope everyone has a great week!

Joyful stitching to you all! And thank you for stopping by!! 

SOR progress

As you know my mom was here visiting the last half of February so not a lot of stitching happened during those last 2 weeks, but I was able to get a little bit done.

Today:

Well it seems I got a lot more done than I thought! I love when that happens!!  So I'm happy with my progress! 

Next time I will share my Christmas Snowman, he's coming along, but very slowly. Maybe I can get some good work in on him this week. Fingers crossed! 

Thanks for stopping by! I'll see yah next time!

Flower Bride progress

This is what bit I got stitches in over Valentine's Day weekend:

Started page 3. This is my weekend project, I think I got about 3 hours in on this, so not a lot. And I probably will not bring it out until after my mom leaves next week.  

Still not getting a whole lot of stitching in but that's ok.  Next up I will be sharing progress on Sea Of Roses. I truly don't even know if I've pulled it out since I last shared it. I'll have to check... 

Hope you're all having a good week and I'll see yah in a few days!

Today:

Stitching all the light colors in that wing is such a pain!! It's coming along though. 

I won't be getting much stitching in now until the 3rd of March because my mom is here visiting for my daughters birthday. But that's ok. We're having a nice time visiting.

As proof, this week I have only stitched 4 hours and 45 minutes! (Since Monday the 15th) oh well. I'll catch up after she leaves... Maybe. Ha ha! 

Thank you all for stopping in! Hope you all have a great week! 

Christmas Ornaments Snowman #1

What it will look like when it's finished:

Where I'm at currently with this WIP:

I actually started him back in December. This was my traveling project I took with me to FIL's house when we visited after Christmas. So this is probably about 2-3 hours worth of work. So, right now it's just a bunch of color blobs, but hopefully someday (soonish) it will be a cute little snowman. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all had a great weekend, and for those who celebrate it, a lovely Valentine's Day. And for those in America a great long holiday weekend. 

A new routine!

So! I was getting bored stitching and sharing the same project over and over, so I've changed up my rotation again. I will now be working on 4 projects. 

I usually stitch about 2 hours a day, so my rotation looks like this: 

Monday-Friday- hour 1: DS2N

Monday,Wednesday,Friday Hour 2: Sea of Roses

Tuesday and Thursday Hour 2: Christmas Ornaments 

Sat &Sun Flower Bride

So my Primary piece is DS2N it will get 5 hours a week, my 2nd is Sea of Roses which will get 3 hours and my Christmas Ornaments will get 2 hours.  My weekend stitchy is usually not set in stone, as sometimes I don't get as much done with the family at home and we're busy running errands and stuff so if/when I get stitchy time in on the weekends I'll pick up Flower Bride.  

I just needed to mix it up a little bit. 

And when I post I'll be sharing a different project each time. Today I thought I'd share Sea of Roses. 

The last time I showed it here:

Today after working on it a few hours :

Not a whole lot done, but a little. This is about 2 hours worth.  There will be a lot more progress the next time you see it. 

Thank you for stopping by! Hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day. And I'll see you in about 5 days with an update on Christmas Ornaments. 

Happy Stitching! 

DS2N progress!

After 10 more days of work on it:

I'm now working on column 6. 

I think I've decided to only post every 10 days or so instead of every 5. I feel like this is getting monotonous, because I'm basically showing the same project over and over and over. 

Anyway, next time I post I hope to be on column 9. Then there will just be one more left to go to finish the page. We will see how that goes. I'm shooting for a page finish by Feb. 14 on this, but we will see....

I hope every one has a great week. Happy February!!
