August WIPocalypse

 This month's question that Measi who runs WIPocalypse gives us is:  Have you participated in any of the mystery SALs on Facebook (or other social media)? What do you think makes a successful mystery SAL?

I have done 2 mystery stitch a longs -BOINK from Ink Circles and I did finish it and a Barbara Anna mystery stitch a long.  I finished that one too.   I did enjoy both stitch a longs.  I think I was pulled into them by wanting to be one of the crowd.  I have not done any since them  But do enjoy watching others progress on their SALS

 

This Month I had a finish Toadilly Romantic.  I finished this one on 8/6/20.

I enjoyed stitching this one on the pink fabric and the different threads from what I normally use.  There is a scissor fob that goes with it and I think I will do that one also.  I still have plenty of pink fabric.

I worked more on the border of Cow Slip.  This past weekend we went to Michigan to a car museum and aquarium and I took this project to work on.  Still more border to do.

I finished page 3 and started page 4 of Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.  3,000 stitches.  Happy with my progress on this one.  

Faces of Faery 90 was also worked on.  I am going slowly o this one so that I do not make any large counting errors.  

While in Michigan we went to an Antique Mall and I found this Teresa Wentzler kit.  It was 40% off and I got it for under $7.  It has 27 count even weave.  I am doing Butterfly Fairy Night on even weave and struggle to work on it.  But I am going to give this one a go and see what happens.

Here are my orts.  Very colorful.

I am still working from home.  Not sure when I will go back.  I will be glad if I can stay home during the winter and avoid driving in the snow.

July WIPocalypse

Somewhere at the end of the Month I lost my stitchy bug.  I was doing pretty good until then.  Here are the projects I worked n in July

Crane Paradise came out at the end of the month for a few days.  Still working on the sun.

Dandelion Fairy Kingdom I worked on each weekend.  I was so close to finishing up page 3.  Just a little in the bottom right hand corner.  But I lost my stitching mojo. 

 Faces of Faery 90 I worked on the first 2 weeks of July.  I moved my scroll rods.  This is page 3.  I had thought I could finish this one in 2020 but I am moving too slow. 

I worked a few days on Toadally Romantic.  I could finish this one up if I stitch on it exclusively for a few days. 

 Then I had a new start.  I coffee/tea dyed a piece of 14 count cream fabric.    Working on the border (and there is alot of border).  This will be Cowslip in the photo below.  Everything was in my stash.

I need to work on finishing something as my WIP list is growing longer.

This month's question is what new designers have I discovered.  Carolyn Manning was a new to me designer.  I picked up one of her charts.
