Floss Friday #75

I got back last night from Gardnerville, NV. Never thought I would be the one thinking that Nevada was beautiful. The valley is just gorgeous surronded by mountains. I had blue skies coming and going. Yesterday had a lot of snow from the day before, but still a gorgeous day. Let’s jump into this week’s progress.

Starts & Finishes

I was supposed to start a few projects, but I have yet to put together my order for two new series I am going to do. So I guess I will be behind on them. They are small so it shouldn’t be too bad to get caught up. LOL! If I ever get the order in. (#sigh)

START: 2024 SJ Temperature Library by Kristi’s Corner

I got started on my 2024 temperature stitch which will be this bookcase with a shelf for every month. I wanted to make susre it was long enough. It’s a bit tight, but it will work. This should be a fun stitch. I finally got the floss picked out and ready this week as well. All the floss is my colors mixed in with some of theirs. Exciting.

WIP Updates

Because I was roadtripping this week, I only took two projects on the road. Besides the new start I was able to work on one other project this week.

Snowman Collector: The Clown by Cottage Garden Samplings

I just love workinig on snowmen. This clown is no exception. I was pleased to finish up his face and head as well as start outlining his body.

WIPGO Project: January Month 2 Month Barn by Stitching with the Housewives

I was able to get some significant work on this project while I was gone. My friend Lisa had no problem with me stitching in the evenings while we chit chated and watched some TV after our adventures during the day. I finished the word January, a couple of snowmen, as well as a good portion of the barn roof.

WIPGO Project: Christmas Calendar by Tiny Modernist

While I feel confident that I have enough room on this linen, I am still feeling the compulsion to make sure so I am working down instead of across. Last night found me working on Day 11. It was getting late but I was having a difficult time setting this teddy bear down. He is so darn cute!

Upcoming Plans & Thoughts

I missed a day of stitching and I never placed my order for the fabric and floss I need for Year of Celebration Season 2 and Monthly Markings. I spent so much time sorting through my Temperature library floss (2 days) that I never got around to ordering the supplies I need before my trip. Hopefully today.

With that being said, that means most of what I have planned for this week probably won’t happen so I will need to figure out what I will do. Here is what I have planned:

• Work on Christmas Calendar project at least two more times
• Winter Camper at least once
• Snowballs for Sale
• Snowman Collector: The Clown one more time
• Start & Finish January Monthly Markings (hmmmm)
• Start & Finish January Season 2 Year of Celebration (insert eye roll)

I am feeling a compulsion to run home and place my cross stitch order (lol). If I don’t get to do those last two, I will work on one of my other projects that I normally work on. I don’t think I have anything close to being done to focus on, but I will check. Maybe I will do the cross stitch marthon this weekend since I missed it last weekend.

Actually that sounds like a great plan. Well I hope you enjoyed my project update this week. Thank you for stopping by. I love reading your comments so don’t be shy.
