MAKING PROGRESS

 I moved the q snap today. I have been making good progress. So far in January I have added 3,293 stitches. It is now at 15.14%. 27,972/184,800. This one is for my grandson Theo.

Hoping to move the q snap at least one more time before the end of January.

Happy stitching everyone

HAPPY 2026

 I am hoping to update my blog more this year. I have been terrible for the last couple of years so must get better.

I am now working on another project for my grandson Theo. My son and dil picked out Treasure Quest by Randal Spangler. It was one of my old WIPs so had already been started. I am really enjoying it because it is so colorful. It became my focus piece on Dec 1. Who knew I could become monogamous again but I did.                                                                                                                                                                    

In December I put 8,517 stitches in. January is starting well. In 3 days I have done 1,147 stitches. Go me.

The photos are in order from Dec 1st until Jan 1

Hopefully I will be back soon with another update.

At least the weather in Montana is good stitching weather.

LAST SAL UPDATE FOR 2025

 I have picked up 2 new pieces to stitch for my grandson Theo so I will be rotating between them every 2 weeks.

For this update it is Treasure Quest by Randal Spangler. Charted by HAED. 

Here is where it was when I picked it up last Sunday

I added 1,932 stitches and it now looks like this

I was tired of the colors there so for this week I moved to a different area(best part of full coverage). This is my starting point for this week.

TIME TO UPDATE FOR THE SAL

 I'm so sorry I have been lazy about posting to the SAL. Since I finished Theo's project I have been rotating again. I have 5 projects for my kids so I have been doing 7 days on each one. Seems to be working for now. I realized yesterday that I miss having a Theo project so I am adding another piece to my rotation. Hopefully it will keep me focused on just the ones for the kids. Hopefully you won't mind seeing something different with each SAL post.

Here is my starting point on Theo's new project. I chose it because he loves books and being read to.

I'm off to stitch now.

TIME FOR A SAL UPDATE-WHERE DOES TIME GO?

I have made good progress since last time. I worked more on the right side but got tired of those colors so I moved over to the left. Much better for now. I set a goal for myself. I want to reach the top of the right side by the end of September. Don't know if I can but the incentive is there is a plate of cookies and a bottle of wine up there.

 Here is the last time.

Here it is now.

I am very pleased with my progress.

Today's starting point.

SAL TIME AND A NEW PROJECT

 I have decided on my new focus piece for the SAL. Apparently I kinda like being monogamous lol.

This is not a new start but a neglected WIP.  I started it in March of 2021 and then put it aside. When I finished Theo's project it just seemed like I should pick this one up again because I am stitching it for his mom Stephanie. I am really enjoying it because there is not a lot of confetti on the part I'm stitching. I'm sure that will change as I get farther up.
