Friday, I met my goal for Catfish Cthulhu with 1030 tent/515 full x stitches and 1.82% complete.

Saturday, I met my goal for Together We Stand from HAED with 1076 tent/538 full x stitches and 3.14% complete.

Sadly, there is a bunch of off white/gray in the bottom left of the stitched part that you can't see.

Chatelaine's Heritage Sampler is out next as I try to finish the main part of the design so all the personalization and beading can be my 2026 goal.

 One more goal down, two that I'm planning to accomplish and one that probably won't be completed.

I met my goal for Our Path of Light from Unconventional XStitch with 1076 tent/538 full stitches.  It's now 2.49% complete.

I struggled with this one when I started it since it felt super confetti heavy.  It got better as I added this year's stitches.

Catfish Cthulhu, also from Unconvention XStitch is out now but I've also been trying to add lots of stitches to the shop model I've been working on.

 I had a fairly productive weekend!  

I met my goal for Mary Gypson 1828 from Whilst Iris Naps with 517 stitches.

Realistically, I should have just stitched to the upper right corner since it wasn't far but I was ready to move on. 

Summer Moon from Plum Street Samplers was next.  I met my goal for it with 506 stitches.

I'm feeling better about the color of the moon with other colors added.  I may have to change the white stripes of the flag though since the called for just looks dirty.

Our Path of Light from Unconventional XStitch is out next.

 I've met my goal for Sea Witch with 1166 tent/583 full x stitches and 40.26% complete.

Besides the dragon's face, I've finally found the witch's face at the bottom right corner of this page.

12/18/25

 I've met my goal for Her Private Garden with 1178 tent/589 full x stitches and 6.87% complete.

I've also met my December goal for SS Daybreak with 1104 tent/552 full x stitches and 3.57% complete.

I've added stitches to March's Window View in Stitches and Sea Witch is out to meet it's goal for December.

12/16/25

I've added another 1230 tent/615 full x stitches to Warrior Alice who is now at 68.62% complete.  Could I have completed my monthly goal of 2000 tent stitches?  Yes.  But when I picked Alice back up this week I had already met my 2025 goal and didn't want to make my stitchy bug any unhappier than it already is.

Since I finished Loneliness of Autumn, I've also started March's Window View in Stitches from Stitches and Cutz as a shop model for Hearltland Quilting and Stitching.  

I haven't gotten as far as I would like but I kept catching myself scrolling the internet so it was time to move onto something else.

This morning I started adding some stitches to Her Private Garden.  I think that annual goal has already been met as well so anything else is just a bonus.

 Finish!

12/4/25

 I've finished pages 28 and 34 of Loneliness of Autumn with 97.02% complete.

I had lots of help 

Loneliness of Autumn will remain out to finish the remaining 3500 stitches.

Sunday morning, I met my goal on Ms. Gothica II from Tilton crafts with 1032 tent/518 full x stitches and 1.85% complete

Then, I pulled out Sarah Sanderson from The Sampler House and met my goal there with 550 stitches.

Then, I pulled out my kit for Mirabilia's Snow Queen and started it with 130 stitches for our first snow on 11/28.  My intention is to add at least 100 stitches for every day we see snow.  We've gotten snow the last four days so I'm a little behind.

I'm stitching with the called for colors except the Waterlilies.  I've converted those to HDF.  This is on Wicked Garden from Colour Cascades Fabrics which is what I also stitched the Sleigh on.  I think the color is awesome since I was intending it to look like the northern lights.  Here's a picture from a couple weeks ago.

and my start

I've pulled out Loneliness of Autumn this morning to work towards a finish.
