Ok, so I didn’t get around to this yesterday after all. Oops!
After I downloaded the photos from my camera, I just wasn’t happy with how they turned out when I saw them. I decided to wait instead and take some more pictures before posting. Here are my latest stitching adventures:

I also picked up what is basically the last of the items from my exceptions list for my 25 Project Challenge. The only items still remaining are the classes I’m taking this summer/fall. I also slightly modified my list to remove the Just Cross Stitch ornament issue because I will get it free anyway as part of my subscription to the magazine. I keep forgetting it’s included now and not a separate purchase.
As for what I did pick up from my exceptions list, I went by my LNS on Saturday and bought the final 3 charts for Boo Club and the threadpack for ABC Lessons. Both are from Lizzie Kate. I have no idea yet when I’ll stitch ABC Lessons or what fabric I’ll use for it, but I knew I wanted to stitch it as soon as I saw it the first time.
I guess that’s it for my stitchy update. Enough blogging about stitching and time to actually go stitch!
Until next time …




















Welcome to the Healthy You Challenge. I enjoyed your stichy update and look forward to future pics of projects.
Great new starts! I’ve been holding back on the Boo Club but I am currently stitching on ABC Lessons and am loving it! So happy I purchased that one.
Congrats on your recent weight loss!
Great pictures. I love how small Petite is. Everyone should stitch it over one.
Southern Stars is lovely, I really like the colors.
*sigh* Chatelaine…
Crazy JEALOUS over the M start.
Valerie at Fog City Dweller is working on LK Lessons, and her wip is so pretty. I think you’ll be really happy with this one.
Oops didn’t notice that Valerie had posted before me.
But her ABC Lesson is really nice.
Great progress on all of your projects! I started on Petites Lettres Rouges this weekend, too. I’m not normally one for reproduction=type samplers but I really liked this one!
