Finish #6 for 2024. The Goode Huswife - Old Alphabet Blocks. Used suggested dmc flosses. On 28 count antique white lugana, two over two. Took 3 days to stitch. It was fun to stitch, which is what we hope for when we stitch something.
I did finish those birds on the bottom left, but trying to look up numbers that would work in the spacing was something I was not having much luck with. So it went back in the pile again.
But since I was looking for my alphabet books, I took two of my totes of started things, and pulled a few things out that were calling for me to stitch them again. So I now have just one handy tote to grab from of things I want to grab again. And I can ignore the rest for a while. Although, there is one more that I can hear asking to be stitched again. It's just somewhere in the other two totes. I even found one that I was sure I had finished, that clearly was not finished. I know finishing the one above looks like the obvious one, but I don't like the stuff under the tree, and I don't have anything else that is an obvious fit for that space. So rather than get stuck, I just move on.
This is Mary Woodrow from Violets & Verses. It was something I started while I was doing chemo. Borders were easy to do while in the chair. But I finished treatment, and this got tossed in the pile. This month is two years since my surgery, which was before my chemo. Some people do chemo first, then surgery. I love all the funny extra letters, so I really do love the pattern. Below is what it looks like now. Just a note if you have the pattern, the U and V are reversed. I corrected it before, but other things, like it not having a 10, I left per the pattern.
