The sun is shining. The birds are singing and we saw a pair of Bluebirds at the front birdhouse. I got in two hours of stitching as soon as I got up, and I'm loving this day indeed! Not a lot to do, other than putter in the house until it's time to prepare dinner.
Yes. I did get more stitches in on my "Mares Eat Oats". I think maybe y'all will see some progress here. I have six hours into it thus far. Yes. I'm one of those weird people who keep the hours as I stitch. Bottom line is, it doesn't really take me three months if I only have 30 hours in a completed piece! Will get in another hour or so later in the day.
I finished the variegated blue scarf that I had shown you a few posts back, and started another one in a different variegated yarn. Same pattern. It's easy to remember and I want to get a number of these done to put aside for gifts for Christmas 2020. Here's the first few rows with the new yarn. It's always refreshing to start with new colors.
I will be picking out a winner from all who entered for my surprise package I wanted to give for reaching 100 followers! I'll choose the winner this Friday, and will let everyone know here who it is. I'll also contact the winner to find out a few things before packing the goodies up. Favorite color. What your decor is. Your favorite type of stitching. Things like that so I can make the package a little more personal. Good luck to all that joined in!
Here's a bunch of hugs and stitches to you all. Stay warm and well. Love you all. Remember to "feel the colors". There are plenty out there and in, even in the middle of winter.
thanks for the house chart, please enter me. did you see my blog I got allot done on Live Simply hugs Lynda Ruth
ReplyDeleteSuper progress on Mares Eat Oats, LindaLee! I'm another who tracks time. It is a habit I got into when I was stitching for others as in paid stitches. The new scarf start is pretty as well! Thanks for reminding me of this chart! Hope the rest of your day was enjoyable!

ReplyDeleteThose days are always nice. Lovely progress. I'm weird too and keep track of my hours. I agree with you helps you know better the time it takes. Good luck to everyone in the drawing even though I really want to win haha.
