An FFO, a finish and an update

 

I've been busy the last month.   I love, love, love the Decorating Owl and how Keepsakes fully finished it.    Now I only have 2 more 2027 ornaments to finish stitching.  I'm going to give myself a couple of months before I start the next one.  I frogged that cardinal about 4 times and it still isn't right.

2 Fully Finished Objects - Both are gifts

 I finally completed fully finishing 2 gifts.

Designer:  Say It In Stitches (ETSY)
Design:  Happy Birthday
Fabric:  16CT White
Floss:  DMC
1st Stitch:  10/11/2025 - Last Stitch:  10/01/2025
For:  Shirley for her 80th Birthday
Notes:  I started fully finishing this about a week ago and got stalled.  I finally finished it this morning (11/01).  I stitched a tag for the back with her name and birthday and as you can see, I finished it into a hoop.  Bob actually put it in the hoop since he does much better at centering things then I do.

Snow Globe
Fabric:  14CT Antique White
Floss:  DMC E321
1st Stitch:  10/08/2025 - Last Stitch 10/10/2025
For: Barb for Christmas
Notes: This was supposed to be a tree ornament bur it is a little large since I stitched it on 14CT Aida.  I like how it turned out.

Monet's Irises progress

 

I am almost finished with page 10.
I have been slowing down this past week only stitching 50 or so stitches per day.
Hopefully I will pick up the pace soon.  I really want to have this done by the end of May 2026.

I'm in the process of fully finishing 2 projects.  One is a birthday present for Shirley and the other is a Christmas present for Barb.  I plan on working on them this morning.
