Here we are again, finally!  I have been plugging away at Fine Wine at little every day.  This is where I am today.  I do feel like the end is in sight!

Goals and Progress, a Year in Review

 In 2020, I stitched.....there wasn't much else to do!  I stitched for 1015 1/2 hours and had 83 finishes and I stitched every. single. day.  Well, I did have the kitchen remodel which was a lot of extra work, and I worked early voting and election day, those were all very, very long days and definitely cut into my stitching time.  

Toward the end of the year, there was only a little bit of stitching each day.  It was hard to stay motivated.  

These are my goals for January and the rest of the year.  Why does the list just keep getting longer?  Stay tuned to see what I actually get finished in 2021!

A Finish!

 I finished the last section of the 2020 ANG Stitch of the Month Project.  I am almost sad that it is over!  It was fun to stitch but hard to wait for the next installment!

I am not quite sure what to do with it now.  Should I frame it or make it into a pillow?

November Progress, December Goals

 November was a busy month, filled with kitchen remodel and such....not as much time for stitching.  Perhaps next month will be better

SOTM November Finish

 I completed the November Stitch of the Month.  It is the to right and bottom left corners, using the Hungarian Stitch.  Now there is only one month left to go!  I can't wait to get this piece done, I have another piece waiting to go on these stretcher bars!

 Here is the somewhat finished Or Nue' piece.  I haven't yet decided if I will leave it as is or if I will add the words in two of the squares......not sure yet

October Progress and November Goals

 Well...October was not a very good month, stitching wise.  We finally were able to start the Great Kitchen Remodel, and I stupidly volunteered to work early voting.  It will be easy, they said!  They were wrong!  It was brutal!  

November doesn't promise to be any better.  The kitchen remodel is almost done, but then we move furniture, shampoo rugs and unpack boxes!

WIP Wednesday 10-7-2020

Fine Wine is coming along nicely.  I was surprised at how much is stitched when I took it off the hoop!

 

A Halloween Finish

 Halloween Tree designed by Mary Waldsmith from the September 2020 Needle Arts magazine.

I have stitched two other whimsical trees that this designer has done, and they are all so very fun!

October Stitch of the Month

The October part of the ANG Stitch of the Month was released on October 1st, so I had to stitch it right away.  Only two more parts to be released and this baby will be finished!
 

September Finishes, October Goals

 Got some stitching time in this month, but not as much as I would have liked.  I did have 9 finishes though!
