June was a good month. In summary, I had 3 finishes:
June Sampler of the Month
Picnic Ants Coasters
A Year of Celebrations – July
But then, I started “Hello Summer” by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. However, it’s a small project so it should be a finish soon. I also joined the Mill Hill Monday wagon and started Winged Monarch on the 7th. I have no hurry in finishing this one so every Monday I will put in a few stitches on it.
JULY’S PLANS
I couldn’t make up my mind about doing Joan Elliott July or Jolly July. So I’m doing both. The good thing is that I only have 2 Joan Elliott’s projects: Air Goddess and 12 Days of Christmas. I will put in a good hour on both of them. The not so good thing is that I have A LOT of new starts this month because I want to do a Christmas ornament from 2013 to 2020. So I chosen the designs out of the Just Cross Stitch magazine Christmas ornaments edition. I already had one finished for the year 2014 so I’ll just need to do the rest. I have a good reason for this but I’ll explain later. So, these are my new starts this month:
Ornaments:
- Silver Blue by Anna Gutova
- Gingerbread House by The Workbasket
- Holly Berries by Glory Bee
- Snow Much Fun at the North Pole by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery
- Nativity by Fairy Wool in the Wood
- Peace on Heart by Mani di Donna
- Christmas 2020 Snowman by Beverly Street Shop
Other new starts:
- Stargazer by Mirabilia
- Year of Celebrations – August
- Snowman and Friends by Dimensions
- Kringles by Little House Needleworks
- Christmas Tree by Mirabilia
So, yes… A lot going on in July. But, I’m okay with it. I will be having some finishes as well. First, I’m planning to finish every ornament I start in July plus the Year of Celebration – August. I will be stitching each piece for 4 days. If I have a new start, I will do about 100 stitches and and stich for about 1 hour on Air Goddess. Then focus on the ornaments.
