I have such a backlog of posts…written in my head…pictures on my phone…it’s a little overwhelming. I’m going to plunge ahead with the present. Maybe I’ll put in some back posts later. Anyway…here’s what’s up in my little stitching world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WIPGO this month called for me to work on Mary Amelia’s bird. Here is where I left it off in the fall of 2023 (how embarrassing!)…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here we are after several days stitching in February…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am SUPPOSED to finish it up this month and I will try. The bird itself is done, as is almost all the leaved and stuff on the left side of the chart. However only a little on the right side of the chart is done and it is a lot of boring leaves so it may be a slog. I’ll do my best. It’s relatively easy stitching with DMC on the called for Duxbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do love this chart. I love the bird. And moreover, being called Mary Amelia’s bird, that is my mom’s mom’s name, Mary Amelia. I am named Mary after her so that’s important. I also recently picked up the perfect round frame for this and have a wall spot for it so that’s incentive too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been stitching something else too…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This little rooster is from Heart’s Content. It is over 1 on 28 count. It will be about an inch square. I’m just finishing the background. It is very cute and tiny. I love how tiny it is. It is supposed to be a fob. I think I will put it in a teeny tiny frame instead. I’m coming to the conclusion it’s not super useful to have a fob hanging off all the scissors. It unbalances them when you need them to work sometimes. I think a tiny frame will be pretty charming. I think I have one that will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s all for now. I will try to get back into a blogging routine! You may know why it hasn’t been routine lately. I’ll share more about that next time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
