DS2N update

I was able to get a good chunk of work in on this one, tis time! I finished page 6! (Which was my goal, I'm pretty sure) and have moved down to page 9, I'm almost finished with this first column of the page. I'm starting to enjoy working more on this one, now, as you can see that the color palette has changed from all the light cream/whites of the day angel's wing, to much darker tones, which I am really enjoying quite a bit more! 

So, we will see how far I can get with this one by the next time I update!

Thank you for reading! Have a great day!

Autumn Peace update!

 I was able to finish page 6 in June ! WOW!

 And make a good start on page 7!!

This one is the one I most like to work on! I just love all the colors! I pick it up and never want to set it back down!  Which is good, since it's a gift for my mom, and I would like to have it done for her birthday next year....we'll see if that happens.  (Her birthday is the end of April, so still got quite a bit of time.) However since it DID take an entire year to finish the first row of 5 pages and I still have two more rows of pages to finish I'm not sure how realistic it is to reach that goal. Although, I'm already on the 2nd page of this row of 5 pages, and the fist and 5th pages are only half pages, and the bottom row is made up of close to half pages I think, so it may be doable!

Giving myself a goal of a 10x10 block everyday really seems to help me stay on track!

Hope you're all doing well! We'll see you tomorrow for my last update of this month!

a VERY late June ornament fnish!

I was able to finish this on June 30th, I've just been unable to update my blog this month, just been super busy!! July is usally a busy month for us, as my husbands birthday and our wedding anniversary (12 years this year!) are in July.

So, these posts are gonna be late! Sorry!  I'm hoping to stay caught up in August! 

Thank you for reading, and have a great day!

DS2N progress

This piece has really been giving me issues. Not in the sense that I'm messing up and needing to frog, or anything like that, but all those light colors in the wing there? They are driving me crazy. I hate stitching light colors on a  light colored fabric, it's annoying, and there's lots of confetti, which I must admit brings in a lot of detail, but it is a Pain in the you know what! So, still no page finish on this one yet, I'm hoping next month to have a finish on this one! I started this page on Feb. 28th.  It is time to DONE!!! Way past time!!

So, please wish me luck!!

Thank you , as always, for stopping by, and reading!! I hope you have a great sunshiney, stitch day!!

Autumn Peace progress!

Well!! I did it!! I finished page 5 of this monster!!! 5 down,10 more to go!!!  I finished my first row of pages on this, it feels so good!! It took me nearly a year to finish this row. I started it June 1 of 2016 and finished May 28 2017.  I always love page finishes, and row finishes, as it kinda feels like a milestone reached, a little finish, you know? That there is 19,688 stitches done!!

And!! Not only did I finish page 5, but I got a GREAT start on page 6!!

Here's that progress:

So! I guess you could say my stitch bug is back!!! I am hoping to have a page finish on 6 by my next post, and I'm pretty sure its gonna happen!

Thank you for stoppin' by!! Happy stitching!!

Another little finish!

I love this little ornament!! I live in the Louisiana Bayous, so we see lots of gators around here.

 I think this one will be on my parents Christmas card this year, cause ever since we moved here, lots of times when I talk to my dad on the phone, he asks, "So, you catch yah an alligator yet?" LOL....

I have a good start on the next ornie in line as well.  May was a GREAT stitchy month! My stitchy bug came back, full force!! I stitched 48 hours!!! And I think Jan through April I only made it to like 20 something hours in each of those months.  I feel like I'm back!!  It feels super good!!

Hope you're all having a great June! And enjoying Summer!! I can't believe the year is almost half gone already!!

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my posts for last month! I read and love every single one, and really appreciate that you take the time to leave me a note, so thank you! I appreciate everyone who drops in to read my blog, even if you're just a lurker. Thank you for taking the time to read about and look at my stitching.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, full of stitches, and sunshine!

DS2N Progress

Here is the progress on page 6 that I was able to get finished, I am making some good headway on it, and feel really good about it, due to my new rotation, which I explained in my previous post.

I hate working with all the creams and light colors and I think it was slowing me up a bit, but I'm on a good roll with it now, so I'm hoping, maybe for a page finish on this one by the time I post again next month.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you all had a wonderful month of May, I will see yah in June!! (oh Lordy! June already?!?!?)
