Gifted Gorgeousness 2018 - February Edition

I'm exactly 10 days late for GG posting, so that's a little better than the Zodiac one. Again hosted by the amazingly organized Jo, check out her GG post for all the participants this month.

I have quite a few things I've worked on from January 15th through February 15th thanks to the Olympic stitching, so let's do a quick run through and see if I can list them all without this post getting to novella length. 

I'll post the photos and names and talk more about them in my next, closing Olympics post. 

Sweater for DD, left front and back complete

 

 Ballerina Dreams - getting there slowly!

Fishing - as it was in the last post

Joy Snowglobe - added one strand of blue

 Christmas Dragon - added one strand of Holiday

 I Love you More Today - Jodyri design, added a little more 

 Do Not Meddle - stunt stitching

 Kiss for a Snowman - for DD

 Butterfly Quote - by Jodyri designs, also for DD

Lots of different projects were worked on this past month since there was the Olympics and it was nice to see some old friends. 

Hope you all had a great month and Happy Stitching!

Halloween Stitching and a Crazy Idea, Plus Giveaway at Crafty Sasha

I hope everyone has been having a good stitchy week! Things are busy as always, but fortunately stitching is always there to save my sanity. :) And there's creative people like Crafty Sasha always thinking up new gadgets I want need. She's having a giveaway of needle minders right now, so check it out if you're interested. 

First let me catch you up on my Halloween stitching photos!

Halloween Monster by Heart in Hand

almost done the WDW Meadow for his face and neck!

Getting a move on this one as well, in fact, this is only Tuesday's photo, after last night I'm here:

If possible I like to try and stitch these one colour at a time and then take the threads of the completed colour out of the thread pile and put them in the front of the kit section so they don't get all tangled up. 

I think I've finished 6 colours now. I still think this could be a Halloween finish. :)

On to my crazy idea! 

I've been thinking if I really buckle down I might be able to complete a project for DD's birthday coming up in November. I was debating about what project would be closest to completion, and could be fully finished in time. That takes Letters from Nora out, because they'll have to be custom framed. 

My choices are (I think):

Tribal Dragon

still needs to look like this:

Somebunny to Love:

Joy Snowglobe

should look like this:

or a Frosty Friend:

I'm leaning towards Somebunny to Love since it's definitely more for her than the last 2, although they would likely be the fastest. I'll see what I feel like. I'm thinking of maybe stitching through the weekend on Somebunny and get a feel for if a finish is possible. That would still give me time to complete one of the smaller designs. 

Any thoughts or other ideas, please let me know!

Happy Stitching,
