August WIPocalypse

 This month's question is: Which retired designer would you love to have back designing? Teresa Wentsler, Black Swan Designs, Dimples, Jennifer Aikman Smith (Dragon Dreams).  I do have their patterns in my stash.

 Here is what I stitched on this month:


Butterfly Fairy Night.  I stitched quite a bit on this one.  I am now working on the pink of her dress and her feet.  I feel I am getting closer to finishing this one.


 Homestead Harvest added more white to the house.

Gnomes. I finished the second Gnome and I am working on the backstitching.


 

Pulled out Queen of the Sea and added more stitches

QS Magic Island I finished page 5 so the top row is complete.  Only 15 more pages to go.


And I got a good start on page 6 of QS Magic Island


 

I worked on Owl #9.  I still need to fully finish Owl #8.  And baby #10 was announced.  Due date is February 2026 so I need to get this one done and begin on #10.


 QS Porthole of Fantasy I work on this one on the weekends.  I am closing in on a page finish.  16ct white aida and it is stiff.  2x1 full cross.

And I had a finish this month.  Jolly Jingle Bell Pal Elf.  This set of 3 ornaments is now complete and I just need to fully finish them.

I have a large under the bed box full of finished projects.  I have been buying frames and trying my hand at framing.  Here is the latest one I have framed.  It came out ok a little to high but it is out of the under the bed box.


Autumn Angel by Joan Elliot.  I finished this one in 2012.

In September I will be doing ABCingo with the Magazine Monthly Challenge Facebook Group.  35 squares on the board but only 25 will get called.  I have all of my projects on there - some multiple times.  I also have 2 new starts on there.

In August we had to say goodbye to my husband's cat Callie.  She was a fully clawed calico cat who did not like to be held or picked up.  She was loosing weight and I was able to pick her up so we knew something was wrong.  The vet confirmed it.  She crossed the rainbow bridge on 8/26/25.
