1) I worked on Hawk Run Hollow January. Just some more of the white fill in on the skirt.
I ordered floss and a crochet pattern book and sock yarn but none has arrived yet but I did get some beautiful sea glass progress markers from Liz over at the Highland Heffalump blog. I love them Liz, and to think they are from 'your side of the pond'! They are so light and they will be used for my new socks when the yarn gets here!

Happy Trails!!!
I’ve been working on dishcloths too. I’m using up the ends of balls of cotton and I’m planning to donate them to the church kitchen where dishcloths always seem to disappear.
ReplyDeleteYour idea of a gift or Cham over the year in fabric is a brilliant one. The Santa looks great as do all of your other projects. I have a fond place in my heart for the pumpkin spice picture. It’s beautiful.
Happy Sunday.
Blessings,
Betsy
Hi Sam oh i love all the beautiful projects that you are working on,well done my friend xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely welcome gift for your new neighbors. You are very thoughtful. I have not even begun to thing about YOP 9! You are the second blogger to mention it today too. Hmmmmm, maybe I should start thinking about it now so I am not scrambling on the first Sunday of July. As always, your cross stitch projects make me smile and sigh. Have a great week! Oh......how did the corn beef turn out this time?
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad they finally arrived, and that you like them. Your spring project is lovely, tulips are my favourite flower. I love the Santa and Pumpkin Spice too. I used to do counted crossstitch but I started a Winnie the Pooh playing Pooh sticks in 1989 and finished it in 2011! It’s framed and hangs in our guest room and should have a neon light saying 22 years in the making lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to take a dishcloth along with a loaf of bread to a new neighbor. Mind if I copy that idea? I know they're getting a gem of a neighbor in you. I hope you end up feeling the same about them! :) You stitched projects are all looking so pretty. I was wondering about what looked like a rip in your cloth in the Santa cross stitch. You are so clever - either of those ideas will camouflage that really well, I'd think. I hope you have a great week, Sandra!
ReplyDeletelol. I am so behind on this YOP year that it will be easy to plan next year - just finish all the things I wanted to finish this year...and last. Oh well. I love how you have so many different stitch projects on the go. Sorry about the tear on the Santa, but your idea to mend it and add a present sounds like the perfect solution.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful welcoming gift the cloth and bread will be Sam!
ReplyDeleteI love all the makes and you've gotten round to so many of them this week, what a shame about the tear but I'm looking forward to seeing how you fix it up.
I have begun to think about what I do want to do for next year and things I want to put on a list, it is always funny how by the start of April I'm making another YOP list roughly in my head, I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Such a thoughtful neighbor you are! I love your stitching projects -- great variety. Turkey Tuesday! 😂
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift for your new neighbours. And as always, I love all your stitching, I so wish there was a little more time in the day for me to do this as well!
