MichelleBendy on flosstube and now she does a blog is doing a 30 day challenge on Instagram
tag #crossstitchitsfun. I'm not on Instagram but today I thought it would be fun to do all 30 days in one.
Why not join me and do this on your blog too, in 30 days or like me in 1. It's just for fun!
Let's get started...
1. Selfie. No Sorry not doing this one.
2. Oldest Wip. That would be Leonardo, I don't know when I started but years ago.
3. Stitching Buddy. Well Jessie is never around when I'm stitching so that would be my angel bear Mia I got from a friend.
4. Another Hobby. Adult Coloring, here is all my books, pages are colored here and there.
5. 321
6. New Start. This week I started two but will show you in weekly Monday post. Here is one of them.
7. Favorite Sal. Right now it would be Moon Sweet Moon by Passione Ricamo. I need to work on it more.
8. Favorite Needleminder. I only have 4 but the one I use most is still in the plastic, I like it that way.
9. Today's stitching spot.
10. Favorite color. Blues and greens. This thread is waterlilies 207 Bermuda reef for a upcoming project. So pretty.
11. Stitching goal for the year. Mine is to finish Lizzie Kate's 3 little words and holiday spirit, also finish mini pirate and maybe Halloween Quaker.
12. Hot Bevergae. Hot Chocolate, I don't drink coffee or tea.
13. On the go project. The only one I have traveled with is let it snow
14. Favorite Wip. This is a hard one but right now my other new start this week Seahorse. Hard to put down. Again see more Monday.
15. Favorite Finish. My QS Opal Fairy by heaven and earth designs, my chart was in the world of cross stitching magazine part one and two.
16. Storage. I keep most of my things in drawers
17. Designer. I like Joan Elliott, heaven and earth designs, Mirabilia, Nora Corbett, Passione Ricamo and Shannon Wasilieff.
18. What are you stitching today. Halloween Quaker
19. Rotation. Lizzie Kate words week, Halloween Quaker, mini pirate and anything else I want to stitch that month as long as I get to stitch the main ones.
20. Number of Wips. Right now 42 wow how did that happen. Got to get stitching!.
21. Stash. Here are my charts and books. Not all my stash as I have kits I haven't started.
22. 310
23. Favorite Theme. I love fantasy. Fairys, Mermaids, witches, Dragons.
24. Fibers. I think this means threads, mostly DMC but this year I've been using a lot of classic colorworks.
25. Fabric. My go to is 16 count Aida in lots of color ways as it gives room for beads, which a lot of my projects have. 14 count is to big for this and 18 to small. I do like stitching on 18 count Aida when no beads.
26. Hoop, Frame, or Qsnap. I stitch in hand but if I need to I will use all 3, and have.
27. Needles. I like using size 28 for cross stitch and a size 10 for backstitch and beading.
28. Sparkles. I have both kreinik and treasure braid but I like kreinik better as it's thicker and covers better. Whatever the chart calls for.
29. Beads. Most are mill hill, this is just one box. Like I said most of my projects have beads.
And last one 30. Specialty Stitches. I don't have a lot of charts for this, here is what I have and my finish. I also have 2 chatelaine charts on the way to me. Don't know when I will stitch them.
End of challenge.
