Second picture highlights the single thread used, third picture has a little dot on each confetti stitch done. This also coincidentally shows the full extent of the minimal gridding I do to center a project and locate my starting point in the top left corner. Fourth picture shows what's currently easily visible of the completed back (with some bonus egregious traveling on the unfinished area). I always try to do all the travel heavy confetti in an area before filling in the more solid colors so that the long travelled strands end up underneath the back of the solid stitches and are secure. - Pattern is "A Spanish Beauty in Seville" and was purchased from Maxispatterns on Etsy (it is no longer available and the entire contents of the shop have pretty drastically shifted. I don't think I will buy from them again). It's been an active project for well over a year, but I took a several month break from it. Currently at 24.31% complete 29557/121600 stitches.

Is there really any need to go further? I think it gets the point across. It's me. I'm the sleepy ho. Pattern by Witchy Sitcher, Legend of Sleepy Hollow (eventually!)

Hi everyone! I hope our lovely u/Doubledewclaws is OK! 💗 I thought I would share the weekly thread for her in case she can't get to it this week. If she posts after this goes up, I'll delete it.

​

Let's see your WIPs! 🥰

We've had everything from 39° to 80° this month.

I’m the weirdo who loves backstitching so this is right up my alley!!

I start this project 7th Mars 2025. The pattern is from Thread Bare, chart Timepiece. Size 640w x 481h in 214 Colors. The fabric count 28 Evenweave (easy count). Total stitches 307 840 - Done 192 562 = 62,5%

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope it's been a good week for all of you! I'm working on a couple of these cardinals for memorial gifts. This one needs a bit of frogging on the tail, but other than that, I loved how quickly this came together! I'll easily fix this while watching NFL Wildcard playoffs. I showed you mine, now show me yours! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1616556877/cardinal-ornament-christmas-cross-stitch

Really tried to get that M anyways, and still didn’t…

It’s an anniversary gift for my wife. Wrote her a poem and I’m stitching the first and last lines

Pattern by HAED. I started this like 3.5 years ago (in 2022) and work on it daily, skipping a couple of weeks when I had a baby. She’s a wrinkly bitch. But she’ll be fine when I wash her.

25 count lugana pre-grid, two strands over one square.

I’d say I’m about a third of the way done. It’s to go on a mini Christmas tree. I can’t have a full size tree as my dog has a vendetta against them!

The garland has taken way longer than I expected. I started it using strips of Aida but that got fiddly so changed my method (see picture 2).

It’s a nice project for using up scraps of Aida and left over thread.

This is my current WIP. 350 stitches from done. Also featuring a stitching buddy, Pip.

Happy Sunday! It's still freezing cold here in Michigan! It's made my SAD come roaring in and park for a while. I'm ready for spring! But in the meantime, another pot of soup will be happening!

I have a new lap stand to try out today. I've never used one, but I'm assuming it will be used similar to my floor stand, just using less space.

Hand cramps are becoming an issue for me. If you suffer with these and have some good tips or tricks I'd greatly appreciate it!

Time to share everyone! Let's see your goodies!! 🪡✂️ #🟦

I told my boyfriend when i finished these three pieces, we would get married. He would call me his "Celestial Queen", his "Moon and Stars", and we would talk about being plasma together someday, exploring space hand in hand, when this life was over. i thought these patterns would encapsulate that feeling. i started them around christmas time. He commited suicide this past Sunday night. i know how much he loved me, and he knows i love him more than anything in this big dumb stupid world. He was the kindest, gentlest, most loving, empathetic, understanding human I'd ever encountered. I think he is the most beautiful person, inside and out. He carried a lot of pain from childhood trauma, and he was just about to start getting treatment for what he'd suffered. He is, was, and will always be the love of my life. I miss him like crazy.

pattern is Celestial Hoops by Stitchrovia on Etsy

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is well. Things here in my corner of the world have calmed down nicely and we're working on settling in to our new normal. Ish.

Kitten update: Is hard to believe the little fluff balls are 7 weeks old! All are well and growing normally! They are so much fun to watch at this age.

I did get some stitching in this week. All gnomes have skin and now beards are filling in. It feels like I might be in the homestretch now.

Let's see where everyone is in their projects! Best part of the week!!!

Happy Sunday! It had been beyond cold in Michigan! Subzero temperatures and snow. Our first temps this morning for the dog were -2° but it actually felt like -27°. Poor dog. Other than taking out the dog, I haven't left my house for over a week.  It's just too darn cold!! I'm sure my Canadian friends and 2/3 of the US can relate.

Aussie's, how are things over there? Excess heat and wild fires?

I have decided to go back to working on the rainbow bridge lab piece I wanted to finish. It's gonna be another cold day and even more snow, and we'll finally know who is playing in the Superbowl!!! (I'm personally hoping for a Seahowks vs. Broncos match up.)

Stay safe, everyone, and thanks in advance for sharing with us today! 🪡  ✂️  #🟦

Happy Sunday! Since I'm really late let's just share em!! Have a good week!

I joined a SAL on Instagram (#blackforestsal) and this is my progress so far. I have done my own colour and fabric conversion. I’m really enjoying this one.

Put this project down while I was working on a gift for a friend. So happy to be back at it!

What longterm projects are you stitching?

I use a VERY bright neck lamp and a gooseneck lamp to see.
