Late May Update

Bit late with last month's update, but getting it up anyway. Things have been busy, and I have to admit to being a bit obsessed with a video game I picked up on 80% off. But, there has been stitching!

And finishing actually, so here's a couple finishes:
Ho, Ho, Ho! by Lizzie Kate
stitched 2 over 1 on 14ct black aida with WDW mostly

This Lizzie Kate was finished over a thrift shop frame and can either sit or hang up for this holiday season. I finished this several years ago, so it's nice to have it complete. This was my first time using Wisper thread as well. 


Magical Castle by Sweet Annet
Stitched 2 over 1 as charted on wooden stamp

My last Sweet Annet that  I had started is finished! I have 2 more kits that aren't started, and it feels nice to have these finished off for now. 

And my latest progress on Starry Night:
Starry Night SAL by Urban Stitches 
stitched 1 or 2 over 2 on 28ct white Monaco as charted

I believe last month is when I used up my third skein of DMC 312... There's going to be 7 total I think. I also got on a bit of a backstitch kick last month and did not pick up the Peacock feather. Here's where I progressed on another Urban Stitches project:
Journey by Urban Stitches
stitched 1 over 1 on 28ct Red Tide by Chromatic Alchemy


I also found an old WIP that's been lying untouched for a while. I had forgotten to add it to my WIP lists, but it's there now. The last time I touched it was in 2019 I think and it looked like this:
and now it's filled in a bit more:
Frost by Seba Designs stitched on 28ct Chromatic Alchemy fabric
stitched 1 over 2 with Jodyri April Showers

Like I said, I got on a blackwork/backstitch kick and just worked on these the past month. I need to catch up a bit on Starry Night again, things are busy with school ending, etc., but I'll get there. It's really interesting seeing it all come together. I think after this week's release we're at 2 full rows. 

Hope everyone has had good stitching time and are staying healthy!

Happy Stitching,
