CROSS STITCH DIARY: January Stitches
Five weeks have passed since we last got together to discuss our stitching projects. I had so many planned starts last month which means that I have a lot of rollover this month. I meant to only have seven projects – one per day, but I kept seeing things I wanted to start. LOL!

STITCHTOBER FINISHES!
I ended up stretching Stitchtober all the way to November 30th as I tried to finish my last two starts. Unfortunately, I began resenting working on Halloween and Fall projects so it was time to set the remainder projects aside for 2021.

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving and next week will be December. Where has the time gone? We just went back to tighter covid regulations including a curfew statewide in California of 10pm. If you are out after that you need a note.

Things have been moving along slowly but surely. Of course some patterns are more challenging than others but they are all fun.

I liked how Lori Holt talked about Stitchtober wasn’t about finishing things but about the season.

I finally hit a wall and have had to take a step back. I had so many sewalongs going on that I fell behind and then I was feeling terrible about myself. When I realized I wasn’t having fun anymore, I dropped the idea of joining two more sewalongs starting at the end of September and beginning of October.

Finishes!!!!
Singing in the Rain Stitchalong with Flamingo Toes
I was very excited to finish this Stitch-A-long on time. This is my second finish this year. Being new to cross stitching in this modern age, I am learning the expected etiquette. So this was 28 count and I used Kimberly’s aurfil floss colors. This was my first time to use aurifil floss. I will get better with providing the information everyone expects.
