New Start #3 for 50th Year Challenge [Updated]



 Todays is the day of the third start, and I am feeling positive still.

I really don't know what I feel like stitching but will have a mooch in the folder - I added some more projects and am at about 90 projects so surely I should have something to choose from! 

I will update this poster later with the decision! 

SOME TIME LATER...

I am back, that didn't take too long...

I flicked through my folder and had quite a few that I thought I might stitch on, I wrote down 8 numbers and have decided to start:


In this pattern they have used variegated fancy threads, I do not have those ones, but I will have a look through my fancy variegated ones that I do have, and pick out some colours. There are six in total. My plan is to start this today of course, but tomorrow I want to finish the UFO Santa (New Start 2), then I will come back to this on Friday evening as New Start 4 starts on Saturday, even though I have a few ideas - they are subject to my mood that day.

I should add that I will be stitching this on an unknown hand dyed linen. The holes are tiny so I think it is a 32 count, its is in a peachy yellowy pink shade (it is sort of the colour in the picture) and so I will choose shades that I have that match that fabric. 




So here is the floss drop that I am going for:




The colours are all Week Dye Works, 
1119 Daffodil
1173 Confederate 
1239 Flatfish 
2171 Emerald
2342 Dutch Iris
1233 Cocoa
2236 Copper

So my initial progress tonight…it’s much smaller than I thought it would be and it’s 2 over 2.

Tonight’s progress (23/10/25)


Progress made on 24/10/2025 and stopping place for now...
