Hello Stitching Friends!
I thought I'd pop in here and post my latest stitching update before the Winter Olympics kicks off for real tomorrow. I have a feeling I won't have much time for blogging during the next couple of weeks since I'm a crazy sports fanatic as well as a crafter and passionate dog lover.
I've decided to set my own stitching challenge during the Olympics.
I have picked one of my long-time WIPs, Welcome to Christmas Town by Emma Congdon, and decided that I'm going to stitch an hour or two a day on it every day before I move on to my favorite projects. I would really like to finish some of my old WIPs and I hope this can be a good way to do it. If I can stay disciplined, that is😉🤞.
So, I actually started my 'challenge' last week when my my own Christmas Town looked like this...

| Welcome to Christmas Town by Emma Congdon Cross Stitcher issue 285, November 2014 |
Since then I've added some more wooden details on the houses...
...and some more Christmas trees.
I also spent some time on the large area of blue sky, so in one week the project progressed from this...
...to this:
I really have high hopes for this project... and if I can finish it soon I don't have to feel guilty about starting even more projects in the near future🙈😉.
I haven't made that much progress on the wolf...
...but the bright elephant is slowly taking shape!
And guess what...? I have even had time for a finish!!! Who doesn't love a happy dance moment?! It's the smaller January design by The Prairie Schooler and I'm really, really pleased with it.

I made a couple of changes to the pattern. I chose to stitch the phrase Snow Day in red thread instead of brown (not too fond of brown) and I also added some more snowflakes to the design❆❄❅!
Speaking of snow . . . we had some more snow yesterday and my oldest furbaby (he turned 13 in January) happily wore his knitted wooly sweater to keep him warm. I've lovingly knitted 'only' five sweaters for him so far😂😍🙈.
Happy Stitching,
Annie
Great work, and congrats on your finish too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with working on Christmas Town during the Olympics; I think a finish might just be possible! :)
Lovely stitching and a good plan for your Olympic stitching, too!
ReplyDeleteSuper progress on Christmas Town! I'm sure you will be able to finish it soon. And I love your change to Snow Day, I think the red looks better too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on Christmas town and your finish is so sweet. Lucky you getting snow, we've had some and then keep getting teased for more!
ReplyDeleteHe looks very stylish in his sweater.
Good luck with your challenge! That piece looks like you have really been working away on it so a finish just may be in your near future!
ReplyDeleteI like your plan for working on an older piece as well as the current favourite. The Christmas Town is a great design, lovely colours.

I walk through a nearby village for our program schedule then I found a signage notice that says Dr Itua Herbal Center then I asked my colleagues what all about this very man called Dr Itua, She told me that he's a herbal doctor and he can cure all kind of disease i walked to him and explain myself to him as I'm a strangler out there he prepared me herbal medicine and told me how to drink it for two weeks, when I get to my hotel room I take a look at it then says a prayer before I drank it not knowing after two weeks I went to test and I found out I was negative I ran to him to pay him more but he refuses and says I should share his works for me around the globe so sick people can see as well. I'm writing a lot about him this season so that is how I was cured by drinking Dr Itua herbal medicine, He's A caring man with a godly heart. Well - everything I decided all went through for me well and how you're going to treat this new aspect to your life. You don't have to suffer alone, and it's okay to ask for help. It also doesn't have to be a constant demon, as you'll get to know your body and yourself in a much deeper way than most people. Take advantage of this, as it will help you appreciate Africa Herbal Made.
