October Catch Up

Behind the times again, imagine my surprise.

I didn’t make a YOTA post Saturday, but there was stitching! Here’s where it ended up.

More purple, for those like me who need reminding.

I finished this at the end of September and was going to post it for Theme-A-Licious.  Then I decided I didn’t want to add words to it.

 

It just seems so obvious that it’s a “Kirk Hootie.”

So then, I thought about posting something I was inspired to add words to.

 

 

In the end I didn’t post that either, until now.

The Kirk Hootie pattern is by Mini Cross Stitch.

The Rory pattern is by Dork Stitch.

A Mystery Finish

Over the weekend, for IHSW, I worked on my mystery project I started last month.  As of today I can declare it finished.

This (in case you were wondering) is a tricorder based on the original Star Trek series.  It is from the aptly titled book “Star Trek Cross Stitch” by John Lohman.  A very cool book filled with many more patterns trying to entice me.

In the mean time I should get back to everything else.

Theme-A-Licious Somewhere in the middle of September

I finished stitching this piece yesterday. (Honest) While it’s not quite ready to post on the Halloween SAL, it’s perfect for Theme-A-Licious.

Look – words!

Ok, one word.  This is by Glory Bee from the 2013 JCS Halloween Special.  The colors are all from my stash.

The “Wow I want to start something” part of me wants to start a Lizzie Kate piece from one of the Tiny Tidings for my September ornament.  To which the “Geez I need to finish something” part shakes its head at.  So I ignored both parts (and the shreds of my common sense) and bought into the new Lizzie Kate Christmas Mystery Sampler.  I’m calling it a birthday present to myself.  When I started it yesterday, I actually tried to measure out the spacing.  Which was a good thing because I found out the fabric piece was short on one side.  Not cool peeps!  And the LNS never called me to say it was in.  So I’m like a week behind. Good thing I know it won’t be finished by Christmas.  I have it started.  And the moral of all that babbling is nonexistent because I’ll probably start the Tiny Tidings piece soon too. :-)

YOTA Purple Progress

One of these days when I look at this and think I could do something besides the purple I will.  Until then, look, more purple! J

Theme-A-Licious August Wrap Up

I managed to put my long weekend to a little bit of good use and actually get in a finish.

This is my Theme-A-Licious ornament finish (for August).

 

It’s called Festive Flamingo (clever name) from the Stoney Creek book, Tropical Christmas.

Stitched on 14 count Polar Ice, because that’s what I had and I wanted to see what it looked like.  Not bad, as it turns out.

Wipocalypse August Update

I’ve made an adjustment.  I’ve combined my Wipocalypse and YOTA projects.  For the rest of the year I will just work on the Retro Cat for both reports.  So the Retro Cat looks like this.

 

While I had it out for the picture I even managed to put a few more stitches on it.  Plus, I realized the next YOTA report isn’t this coming Saturday but the one after.  This could be the beginning of some beautiful progress. J
