Wow! Long Time No See

I know that is what everyone is thinking. Sorry sometimes life gets in the way of everything, Anyway I have a bit to share, so here we go. If you are in any of the Facebook groups you probably heard that May 1st was the beginning of Stitch Maynia. I selected to work only on wips for my Maynia so I set up a list of smalls I could take with me on my cruise. To be totally honest the most stitching I did while on vacation was actually on the plane to and from Florida.  It was on a piece I had just recently started call "This Is How We Brew It" from Hand On Designs. It is part of a 9 piece series, so far I only have the first three. This is being stitched on 28ct Lugana called Iris from Under the Sea Fabrics.

After we returned from our cruise I was able to move on with my list of wips. The next one was day 7 on my list was also a recent start it is called "Hot Chocolate" from Alessandra Adelaide.  It's being stitched on 32ct Cashel linen in Coffee Bean.

Day 8 was Snowflower Diaries Joyful World SAL- May this is being stitch on 32ct Belfast in Platinum.

 Day 9 was "Marquise" from Jardin Prive' stitched on 32ct Jobelan from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie in Seafoam. I had only finished the lady before Maynia.

Day 10 was Connie Gee's 2015-16 SAL (that I am still working on), I stitched two more diamonds with DMC Coloris flosses.

Day 11 was "Pretty Little Chicago" from Satsuma Street on 14ct Aida Gold Dust in Silver.

Day 12 was a lady I named "Princess Odella" she is officially called "Bella Butterfly"" from Nora Corbett stitched on 28ct Lugana in Naiad from Under the Sea Fabrics.

Day 13 was MLK Memorial from The Posy Collection stitched on 18ct Aida in off white.

Day 14 was "Seafarer's Globe" from Maria Diaz/ Cross Stitch Collection Magazine. Stitched on 18ct off white Aida.

Last be not least is day 15 was "The Hogwarts Crest from Colleen Carrington, stitched on 18ct white Aida.

Stitching on a different wip each day was hard to do because I love all of my wips and once I picked one up and started stitching on it, it was really hard to bag it back up and work on something different the next day, but I really enjoyed my Stitch Maynia.  I wanted to answer the Wipocalypse question for April it  was, "What projects are in my UFO pile?" As I said I love all of my wips so there isn't a UFO pile, they will all be finished eventually.  The question for May is "Which designer's projects do you absolutely love, but are too intimidated to try?"  Well there isn't just one designer, it is the group of designers that work for Heaven and Earth designs. Some of the charts are gorgeous but they are all full coverage and I am not intimidated by them, I just know myself and full coverage pieces drive me crazy. It's like you stitch and stitch and you never see the end. Well, thank you so much if you have stayed and read this whole post. Thank you all for remaining followers of my blog, I really do appreciate you visiting and I love reading all of the wonderful comments that I receive. Having said that I have picked out four charts I am offering to you in appreciation. If you are a follower and are interested in one or all four of the charts below, leave me a comment and let me know which you would like or just say all. I will make a drawing on June 22, 2017. I will ship to anywhere. Good luck and I'm off to make some more wonderful little xxs.
