Mirabilia and Plans

Hi stitchers, I'm busy tomorrow so I thought I would do my weekly update today.

This week starts off with me frogin the top and bottom of the garden bed in Spring topiary garden as I didn't like how it looked.

Here is before the frog

And now

Next was Rose of Sharon

And now

Now plans

I've been watching everyone's stitch maynia on flosstube. It's a new start everyday for 15 or 30 days, but same are doing Wips and new starts.

Got me thinking about when I did my 25 days of cross stitch in December 2017. I guess it was my maynia.

 I fell in love with the idea people had of working on a past maynia wip, on the day they started. If it was finished, before the next maynia,they got to do a new start.

All this to say my rotation has changed a little. 

I looked back on all 25 I stitched in December and so far only 2 are done. 

I like the idea of working on my 25 less 2 Wips from now on. I guess you can now call it my year of Wips list too.

December this year I will do my 25 days of cross stitch again with the Wips still in there and new or older ones I put in on the days I finished a wip.

I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

So the Rose of Sharon has now been put away, but as you all like her I will stitch her in December as one of my new/ older Wips. And so I will have a list of 25 wip to work on in 2019, some old some new to my list and so on.  Do you get it.

I'm hoping it will also cut on my buying stash. 

So that's my plans. I only have a few changes to rotation most are added charts.

Until next week Happy Stitching!

A Little Progress

Hi stitchers, hope you had a great stitchy week.

Before I show you what I stitched on.

butterfly- June if you still would like the linen from my stitchy box could you email me your address to tigersactivewinter@gmail.com and I will send it in a week or so.

As for Kay thanks for going in for the linen. I will be getting another stitchy box this year that I know will have more linen in it so if you can wait until then it's yours, just send me your address to the above if you still would like please. I will keep it until I get the new box, and send the linen to you.

Now for my stitching this week

Spring Topiary Garden. Not a lot. When I got better I didn't want to keep stitching on it. I think because I started when I was sick. I will get back to it. Don't know when right now, so many things I want to stitch.

And now. Love stitching with the waterlilies threads

And now, I think it looks better in person then the picture.

That's my week of stitching. Not much I don't think but progress. 

Until next time happy stitching!!!

Started on a high, what down hill fast.

Hi Stitchy friends 

My week started with 3 days of stitching mini pirate and I got page 11 finished. Yay me! 

Now I only have 1 full page and 1 half page to stitch. I can now see I just might get her done this year.

And now sorry about the photo she is not that flat when I took it oops makes her look bad.

And then I got sick, my week went from a high of a page finish to being sick in bed with a really bad cold.

Just before it got so bad with the water works I did get to stitch a new start.

Spring Topiary Garden by Mirabilia 

This is all I got done

When I was sick (still not great yet) I looked to see if anyone has stitched them and only found 1 lady who is stitching her this year, on a purple fabric, not my choice of fabric for this but anyway. I was going to go with a green but too many greens would blend in. So just went with 16 count white I had in my stash. You also don't stitch a lot of the fairys dress on both sides so I went with the called for fabric. 

Spring topiary garden chart has the wings cut off at the ends so had to go to their web site to get the fix.

It has 8 waterlilies thread and 3 kreinik and 8 colors beads with the dmc. Fun times. Love working with waterlilies threads. 

This week I will try and stitch on spring topiary garden as I get better. I'm at the end of the cold so that's good.

Hope you all had a better week then I did, happy stitching!!
