Mended Heart Start

Maybe I should stay off the internet of lovely things. Because I have no willpower.

I had seen two people stitching Debbee's Designs January Kit of the Month before I realized it was Debbie's. I went and looked earlier in February. But on Thursday I looked again and oops both January and February fell into my cart. And there we have it.

I got them today and decided to stitch February first. Because it's still February I began right away. 

Kit includes a wonderful booklet of instructions and a line drawn canvas, threads and needles.

And away I go! 

Weirdness

 I've been trying to get my studio space neatened up because I'm about to begin Natalie Dupuis' ten week course on the couching stitch.

Two weeks ago I cleaned off my desk. Last week I emptied an entire drawer. And it's still empty this week. 

This morning I got out my frame and cleared more floor space. Then came the hunt for the project with the koma. Which meant I did an inventory of what's in the credenza. And I wrote it down so I don't have to rely on remembering. 

Along the way, I pulled out the first of my four seasons canvases. And found something decidedly odd. This project which has been in a bag for two years is missing tacks. 

WTH? 

They were all in the bottom of the bag. But. WTH? How did that happen? 

Paper Finish

 When did I start this? I’m going to guess it was January of 2020. Finished stitching last night during the Super Bowl. And I just did the cutting and beard. I have a lot of these still to do. Next up is the Wilderness Santa. 

Here is Willmaur Crafts Heirloom Santa P990, The Equine Santa. 

Not One, But Two

 So when I opened the project case that had my Coffee, Official Beverage of the Colonies, I found my lemon and lime buttons that I had purchased to finish another project.

Only took seconds to find this one by The Sunflower Seed. All it needed was the buttons. Five minutes later, a finish. 

It's way more yellow than this photo. I changed the threads to Carrie's Creations. Probably started in 2006. LOL 

And hours later I finished my Little House Needleworks piece. 

Soon, off to the framers I will go! 

You Never Know

 I have a deep catalog of projects started. Some, like this one, are near completion. I have no idea why I didn't finish it.

Little House Needleworks. I probably started it in 2006.

First Finish of 2021

 Finished adding the 527 beads on my Blooming Jessicas, a piece by Kurdy Biggs of Threedles. 

I'll get it assembled sometime this week. This is my second version.
