Unexpected finish

This is the first time I started a project from Craftpod the moment I received it.
Stitched a tiny Holiday hoop just in two days but I did it my way.
It was supposed to look like this:

But I stitched it with metallic flosses and it looks a bit blingy now.
Winter 2019 Craftpod - 18-19 December 2019.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Autumn finishes

Sometimes it takes years for me to FFO something.
I bought buttons for this project some 10 years ago, stitched it in May-June 2017 and only in 2019 made the final project - fabric envelope.

October finishes

Big finish.
Generalife Palace. Kit No 1579 by Riolis. 10 February - 30 October 2019.
Stitching with wool threads were challenging at first but I liked it after all. Bought another kit for future stitching.

And Mini finish.

Now I have two of them. 

Summer finishes

19 June - 31 July (14 stitching days).

Spring and summer. Two more seasons to come...

Tea Time Blackwork Sampler by Ajisai Press.
6 June - 3 August 2019 (8 stitching days).
It was stitched on Monk cloth, very big and very wonky. Made a tray doily out of it. Took just one week for it to be covered in tea stains. :)

Second jar is ready.
Dimensions Christmas Jar Ornaments.
19 July - 26 August 2019 (19 stitching days).

 And now there are two of them.

Cut, pin, sew, iron, repeat

That’s what I was doing today. And I guess will be doing in the foreseeable future.
Quite meditative.

Spindles

Question: How many spindle would be enough?
Answer: Maybe 42?
I bought two and I want more, because I am in love!
Mistral and Sirocco support spindles from Hipstrings. They are fabulous!
First using sample that came with the spindles to test them.

Now spinning cotton punis I hand-carded myself (that’s why they look so ugly).

Cutting, cutting, cutting...

In this heat it takes me ages to cut fabric.

Finish 1/4

Spring in the Meadow by Just Nan. 

There are four seasonal patterns but I will stitch all of them on one piece of fabric.

The first one is done.

Stitched: 19 May - 14 June 2019 (8 stitching days).

Ready for tea?

I am always ready!

Summer roses

Butterfly invasion.

And roses from my garden.

StitchMaynia 2019

My StitchMaynia is over. This year I tried to be monogamous and chose Twisted Band Sampler by Northern Expressions Needlework. The idea was to start new band every day for 17 days.
I used the rest of the month to complete the project.
It was stitched with called-for Dinky Dyes silks on Ecru Sotema linen (it was bought as 40ct. linen but in fact it is not quite even 37/39ct) 1 over 2.

Worked on the project - 1-29 May 2019. Have only positive feelings about it.
