Until next time HAPPY STITCHING.
Good morning everyone. Currently -19F here and snowing. Great stitching weather.
I have made good progress on A Little Bit of Magic. My grandson Theo is a good motivation.
Last time you saw it was in Dec and it looked like this.
I am happy to say I have made great progress on it. In December I did 8,832 stitches on it and am now at 15,689/16600.
So far in January I have done 3,504 stitches and am now at 11.55%.
I set 2 goals for my self. 1. I will stitch on it everyday
2. I will do at least 200 stitches every day.
Here is where it is now and also today's starting point.

Until next time HAPPY STITCHING.
2023 ended well. My grandson Theo was born 11/7/2023. On 11/9/2023 I picked up A Little Bit of Magic to stitch for him. I had started it in 2020 and then put it away. When I got it out it only had 593 stitches in it. Here are my stats since 11/9/2023.
Nov 2023--6,285 stitches
So glad to be back. Lots has been going on. The best thing is that on Nov 7 I became a grandma for the first time. My son and dil had a little boy and named him Theo James. He was a month early and had a couple of issues but he is doing great and hopefully will be going home sometime this month. He is magic.
That being said I have a new focus project and so far I haven't been able to put it down. I am stitching it for Theo. I had started it back in 2020 and then never touched it again. When he was born it seemed to be the perfect project to stitch for him. I picked it up again on Nov 9 and have been working on it since. According to my log book I did 6,285 stitches in Nov. I use Pattern Keeper and it is a game changer. Hoping to put a lot more stitches in this month.
Thanks for letting me rejoin Avis.
Till Jan HAPPY STITCHING.

I hope everyone has had a good 3 weeks of stitching. Mine was pretty good. I did make good progress on The Universe in a Jar. Hopefully I will continue at the same rate. Here is where it was the last time.
And here is where it is now. I did finish the area I was working on.
I'll probably move to the right and work on that section. Depends on how sick of 939 I get LOL.

Until next time HAPPY STITCHING
Wow 3 weeks seems to fly by. It is getting hot here this week so lots of stitching time. I don't like heat so I stay in the AC as much as possible.
The Universe in a Jar didn't get as much time as I hoped. I have an 8 project rotation that I am working on for July. They are all full coverage and are for important people in my life. My kids, their significant others, 1 for me and 2 memorial pieces. Universe is for my youngest daughter so it is prominent in the rotation. I try to do at least 100+ stitches on each project and I stitch on a different one every day. If I make my goal and still feel like stitching Universe gets some stitches so it's worked on more than just its day in the rotation.
I didn't meet my goal for this update. 939 is boring. LOL. Here is where you saw it last.
Here is where it is now. I will win with the 939. It will just take awhile. I am close to finishing the column.

Till next time. HAPPY STITCHING.
I actually have good progress this time. Pattern Keeper is a game changers. Also our weather has been wet and dreary so that is good stitching weather.
Here is where it was last time you saw it. I have entered the land of 939. LOTS of 939 LOL.
Here is where it is now.
I hope to have the left hand column done by the next update.
