 Goal met for Theresa Wentzler's The Castle with 552 stitches

Ann Roberts from HATS is out.

8/24/25

 I added more stitches to Steampunk Portal yesterday, then had to switch to another project.  Here's where it currently sits with 408 tent/204 full x stitches than it had last time it was out.

It looks awesome in the photo.  I just wish I was more inclined to stitch on it.

The Castle from Teresa Wentzler came out next and I've met my goal for it with 522 stitches.  

It was kind of iffy there for a while too.  But I think adding some of the greens instead of more wall colors helped move things along.  I'd like to revisit this one again this year to move it along.  It's been over 20 years since Mother Nature decided I didn't need the first one I stitched.  I'd like to get this one complete.

Ann Roberts from HATS is out next.  I think I've decided to add some border which is just two colors.

 My husband decided he wanted to go antiquing Saturday morning so I needed a WIP that I could stitch in the car.  Loara got put on hold and I pulled Teresa Wentzler's Castle and I've added 521 stitches and away it goes until next year.

July has seen several projects.

Loara Standish has been sitting on my coffee table for a few weeks to try to incentivize myself to pick her up and meet my goal which was band 7 and to start band 8.  I did add band 7 which was the Standish stitch but band 8 was going to require more mental bandwidth than I had available.  Band 8 will either wait until later this year or next. 

Last weekend, my hubby decided he wanted to take a day trip to go visit some antique stores.  So I pulled The Castle since it is on 32 ct and easier to stitch in the car.  I didn't get a lot of progress but it is further along than it was.

 

Next was the Master.  I've finished all the 310 in this page and started on the next color.  

Since yesterday was 7/4, I decided it was high time I pulled out my kit of Lady of the Flag.  My MIL gave this to me years ago as a kit from Hobby Lobby.  

I have decided to stitch the called for colors except for the hair.  There is so much yellow already in this chart that I think I'm going to convert it to brown.  I've also substituted the fabric provided and will be using Constitution 30ct fabric from The Primitive Hare.

Polar Mandala from Chatelaine made an appearance .  The center is now about 1/4 complete.  The rest should go quicker though since that bottom left corner has a lot of color changes and rest is more blocks of color.

Then I've not been able to settle on something g to stitch.

Ann Bowers has been out and saw a little progress.

I started restitching TW"s The Castle.  I originally stitched those 30ish years ago.  It was framed and hung over my son's crib when it was taken by a tornado.  It's taken almost 20 years for me to decide to restitch.  I didn't get much of a start but its ready when I am.

Finally Chatelaine's Evening in the Park came out and felt pretty good so I hope to continue with it.
