What I did while I watched the Olympic games is start a project in the afternoon and worked on that project until it was completely stitched.  I picked small projects so it would only take me a day or two and stitched on it until it was finished and then I would start a new project the next day.   I started 7 projects during the Olympics and finished the stitching on 6 of them.  The last start was on the last day of the Olympics, and I am still working on it.  It was fun to do something a little different and look I fully finished all 6 of the smalls I finished the stitching on.

My First Plum Street Sampler

 I finished my first Plum Street Sampler on Tuesday night.  Except for the boarder I thoroughly enjoyed stitching it.  Chart was easy to read and I didn't even have to enlarge it like I do most of the charts I stitch.



Designer:  Plum Street Sampler - Design:  Fraktur Friends:  Fabric:  16CT Country French Cafe Mocha - Floss:  DMC - 1st Stitch:  01/17/2022 - Last Stitch:  02/01/2022 - For:  Me

I am now stitching my February Christmas ornament It is from the December 2021 issue of Just Cross Stitch and yesterday afternoon I started Little House of Needleworks Around The World in 80 Days.  We are watching the PBS series of this so I thought I would stitch it.  I've had this chart for several years and when I was looking for my next project I thought it would be a good choice.  It will probably take me a long time but what the heck.
