Stitchy September

Hey there! Its September!

I've recently realised that this time of year is when I often get the stitch bug and my mojo back. This last month my stitching has been accompanied with Cursed, Fort Salem and Stargirl with some reality TV in the form of ILand thrown in. A mixed bag really.

I haven't finished anything sadly as all my current projects that I am motivated  to stitch on are massive. Since I downloaded Pattern Keeper (PK) I have been stitching on my HAED.

So far only 5 colours, and I ordered some which are on their way...I am doing this Richard MacNeil design, 1 over 1 tent stitch on 25 count magic guide. I have stitched a little over 30k stitches (I know it looks less!) and have a good few years to go. I plan to stitch this on Monday nights - only this Monday my Kindle with PK on was out of battery, doh!

At the weekend I stitched on a chart that I bought when I went to Canada in 2016 - who knows how that time has gone by so fast but it has - weirdly I remembered it being arduous to stitch on yet this past weekend I really enjoyed it. It should have been finished a long time ago, but seeing as I dont have to do it for any other reason than I want to there isn't any rush. 

Its Country Cottage Needleworks 'Afternoon in Paris'. I also have London and I think one other, maybe New York - oh to be as organised as me, hahahha. Its hard to believe one of my best friends can organised the shit out of stuff and here I am stumbling alomg..one day people...one day...

Top pic is where I had reached on Friday and bottom, by Sunday night.

I have also started two others, one is in tent stitch on 28ct (1 over 1) and I haven't done much but this is the end goal...mini A Moment in Time no Background - it reminds me of my son.

I am also hoping to start a FREE design based on the Wizard of Oz which is totally random for me, but I took a liking to it - stitching it on apple green 28ct (2 over 2) in self selected DMC sparkly threads whose name has temporarily escaped me.  Its available on the OwlForest Embroidery site.

And lastly I plan to get a Christmas stitch finished! The Elf Styled washing line...was in an edition of Cross Stitch Crazy at some time...

It is also my 9 year blogoversary on the 12th of the month - yet more time vanishing before my eyes.

Well, I have given myself plenty to do plus the day job and the kid and I hope to drop in more often, take care everyone and stay safe xx
