February - Mid Month Review

The beginning of February has been a little crazy my beloved Hailey passed away and the year anniversary of Gizmo came and went as well. There were several migraines that tried to keep me down as well but I was able to get a fair amount of stitching in and one finish. Currently no FFOs for this month but hopefully that will change before it’s over!

I got some work done on my Ionomy piece which I haven’t posted any photos or tagged anywhere yet as I do not want my friend to see it yet. Check out the latest video for some looks at it! It’s almost finished!!!

I started Miss Bingley’s Library by Plum Street Sampler and I have per usual made color changes as well as some artistic changes. The bird is now Potter and the flag is now the Texas flag and the house is going to be much much smaller. Stitching this on Picture this Plus Legacy in 32ct Lugana. The colors I’m using this are as follows - DMC 02, 822, 792, 739, 890, 3799, 3893, 3882, 3731, 3733, 3727, 3808, 3811, 926, 498, and B5200.

I also finished Spring ABCs by The Little House Needleworks. All fabric and color change information is in a previous post. Use the searchable links to the right to see all posts about this piece.

I continued working on Winter ABCs by The Little House Needleworks. All fabric and color change information is in a previous post.

Finally, I started and finished Oh Say Can You Sea by Hands on Design. I am doing this whole series on Picture This Plus Regency 32ct Lugana. The colors I chose for this are as follows - DMC 598, 3862, 3345, 3328, 3825, 317, 931, 704, 721, B5200, and 760.

I also had a new start before the end of the month. I started Lizzie Kate's Go Green series. I'm changing up the colors massively and the order of the blocks because.... well..... why not? I am stitching it on PTP Antiqued 18ct. The colors I am using are as follows DMC - 3809, 3051, 310, 3774, Blanc, 18, 3731, 105, 3046, 06, 349, 747, 21, 904, 3857, 07, 312, 938, 907, and 519. Some of these colors may be added onto throughout the stitch!

January... FFO Crazy

So in January I went a little FFO crazy to say the least. I FFOed many things and sent 5 things to Heather to have her take some of my finishes and make them into flat folds. Below will be images of the finished FFOs. Enjoy! (Many were finished before I started the blog and some were finished when I wasn't blogging)
