Lady Godiva by Golden Kite. This is the start of a large project that will take me a long time to do. It's been in my stash for ages and I found a Golden Kite SAL so I decided to finally start it. Then I had to put it away so that I could concentrate on my class work. I'm hoping it will come back out in 2017.This is the Picture this Plus fabric from the sale. I love both of the fabrics. On the right is Sterling in 14 count Aida for Hedgehog House. The fabric on the left is Majestic in 28 count Cashel for Sockeye. I'm hoping to kit them up with the floss in 2017 and maybe have two more new starts.
This is Chocolate, Chocolate and more Chocolate from Heaven and Earth Designs (HAED). This was another new start for a HAED challenge. I didn't get the challenge finished because of ending up in hospital and being way behind on my class work. Hopefully this will get some love in 2017 as well.
This is What a Nice Pear by Diane Scott. I'm almost finished the pear outlines. This is another project that's been put aside until my class is over. I was hoping to finish it so I could use the leftover threads for sample stitches but it didn't happen.
Collection of supplies mostly for my coursework.
The start of a peacock card for my aunt as a thank you for two of her bird paintings and a large supply of craft stash she was getting rid of.
A few of my sample stitches for my class.

More stash from my secret stitcher. I'm hoping I might get the angel started for Christmas.
I also received the Collective Stitch book and fabric that I won from The Stitchers Village and three patterns I bought with points I won at the bingo games.
I've joined the Stitch from Stash challenge for the first half of 2017. I've set a budget of $25 Canadian monthly for kitting up projects. Any money I don't spend in a month rolls over and I'll get credits for finishes. The challenge goes from January until June I believe but I may try going to the end of the year. There hasn't been much money for stash buying anyway and 2017 is shaping up to be a challenging year.
We're almost at Rememberance Day as I'm writing this. I've been home from the hospital for two weeks. I'm still receiving IV treatments at home daily for the antibiotics and there is a vac dressing on my ankle which means I'm attached to a second machine that I need to carry around. The IV is supposed to be done by the beginning of December and my leg is healing well so I'm hoping to be rid of that machine soon as well.
I hope Rememberance Day is meaningful for you and I hope to post again before Christmas.
Which class are you taking?

DeleteYou really have a lot of ambition and quite a plan of attack. It''s exciting to be able to switch among projects. I hope your health issues don't prevent you from reaching your goals. Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are numerous, but look wonderful! I don't have a secret sister because I don't belong to a group that has that, but it sounds like fun! Glad you're home from the hospital. Things will get better with time. The machines will go away! Keep up your spirits and your stitching!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lyn.
