Day 24, Christmas Eve

Hi stitchers, hope you're all ready for the big day tomorrow.

I could not get into today's wip. Sad because I wanted to stitch it. I think it's because I've seen a lot of people stitch this one this year, or I'm not in the mood to stitch a Christmas one.

It is Candy Cane Santa


Here is before 


And now with very little stitched.

Day 23

I did not stitch last night, too tired.

Today's chart is Spring Fairy by Joan Elliott
Fabric 16 count Aida white by sew it all ( I think)



Housework is now done and my chart of the day so now I can stitch more on scissors and coils.

Yay happy time.

Today's chart was the last bewitching pixie I have Raven.

Not much as I still want to stitch more on scissors and coils.

Day 15

Day 15 was a little on my wip mini pirate. I've missed her.

Here is before page 8


And my little bit of stitching


Last night I finished my month one. January. I have a box that I put the cross stitch charts I'm going to stitch per month in so that's why I wanted to stitch the months but I'm going to leave out the hello and borders. Every month will be in a different weeks dye works thread. Maybe a charm will be added to some of them.

Day 14 - A Christmas One

Hi stitchers, 

I got most of today to stitch so I started and finished my 1st block. Yay me

Day 14 was Lizzie Kate holiday spirit series and I started and finished holly.

I'm stitching all of them but 3 across. It will be different from everyone else that has stitched this. I also did not want it long if I could help it.

Fabric 16 count Iced Coffee by sew it all

Charms will go on at the end and I will see about a border when the words are done.

Day 13

I got more time to stitch today, yay me!

Day 13 chart is a Jardin Prive ciseaux and bobines (Scissors and Coils)
Fabric 16 count Aida iced coffee by sew it all

I'm not going to stitch the alphabet but I have ideas on what I'm going to stitch in its place. I'm not one to stitch abc charts but I love the rest of it.

I think my taste in charts is changing a bit as in the past I would not have even looked at this type of pattern. Now I like it.

Day 12

Thanks for your comments. I've been starting a lot more charts then I thought I would be.

Day 12 is called Italian lady by Shannon Christine ( I like so many of her charts)

Fabric 16 count Aida Autumn glade by stitches and spice, they are no more sadly.
Photo is bad but it's like a tan with pink.

Day 11

Busy night so posting now.

Day 11 chart is for my mum and has no time limit on it. Chart sweet bears by soda stitch.

Fabric 18 count white by sew it all. Mum wanted white, myself I liked it on a light brown or light pink but it was her choice.

Not much was stitched and its white on white so hope you can see my little start.



Looks like a candy cane right now but it's the middle of the chart and the table cloth.

Happy Stitching!!!

Day 10

Hi stitchers,
I didn't want to stop stitchin this.

Day 10 chart let it snow
Fabric 18 count forget me not blue by sew it all

I hoped the fabric would be a darker blue, not light but it will work. Photo doesn't show the color much.


Part of the big key


I can not wait until this is all over. I'm having fun but I want to stitch on a few charts longer.

Happy Stitching!!

Time for a Christmas stitch yes day 9

Day 9 

I love this chart, the words are great because most Christmas's I'm buying for myself what I want.
You give your family a list and you don't get anything on it. That's me. Oh well, it is what it is. Thought that counts anyway right?.

Sadly I can not do anymore as I've lost one of the threads I need, or did not get it. So have to order a weeks dye works thread. Sigh. This chart is a fast stitch too.

Chart called Dear Santa, I've been good

Fabric 16 count Aida stone by sew it all


If you can not read it it says 

Dear Santa, I've been good all year. Ok, most of the time. Once in a while. Forget it. I'll buy my own presents.

Tomorrow's going to be hard as I'm Christmas cooking, cakes, cookies and such so even if it's only a little stitching that would be good.

Thanks for letting me know what sal's your doing, if you hear about anymore let me know please.

Happy stitching!!

Happy Stitching!!!
