I am on the Completion Train!! Whoo-hoo!


I am nearly finished with this project. It is a kit by JanLynn called ON THE BEACH. This particular project has sat in my work tote and it never called to me asking me to stitch it. Now with my new focus on completion, it is wanting to be done.

All I have left now is the back stitching for the girl's head and three back-stitched birds flying in the sky.

Last week I finished REINDEER PINCUSHION by Modern Folk Embroidery. I think COMPLETION is a great and motivating word for me.

    Oh the reindeer piece is adorable. On the Beach is cute too. So glad the word is pushing you to finish those older pieces. Keep it up!

If you like.... you'll love

I thought I would feature a few Flosstubers on my blog since this is majorly what I am doing with my time while I am stitching. I am either voraciously reading or I am listening to Flosstube. Yes, I am obsessed. But aren't we all? A lot of my old favorites don't make videos any more: Carolyn Mazzio, the Stash Queen, Shari Burkett, and the Lovely Array to name a few. But one of my old favorites is back with a new video. Can I say I AM SO EXCITED!? And as I thought about Nell, from Little House Crafts, I was immediately reminded of Erin from Two Martini Stitcher. She seemed to fill the void for me that Nell left after taking a year and a half hiatus from Youtube. I can't really blame the girl. When life comes a calling, the last thing you want to do if make a video. I started making Flosstube videos before the term was ever coined and I think only two people at the time were actually making cross stitch videos. For me, I am not a person who likes making videos. I totall...

Word of the Year and 2020 Goals

Image
Last year my word of the year was FOCUS.  I am afraid I was anything but focused last year. I did get 20 cross stitch finishes and read 431 books (okay, listened to 431 books, same thing) in 2019. In some ways I was very focused. I have never read that many books in a year in my life. But in May I lost my stitchy bug and had a stitching drought that lasted until sometime in September. I keep looking at all the shiny and new patterns and wanted to keep starting things and it is mighty hard to just keep working on my current WIP pile. They seem old and dusty and well… old. I wanted something new.  Some projects are so close to a finish I can taste it but there is this little part of me that doesn’t want to finish them. I am going to get over that this year. That is why my word of the year is COMPLETION.  To me completion means to finish things. Not just stitching them in the normal sense but going that extra mile to fully finish them. Frame them or make t...
