I ran out of the green and then too many icy/snow/cold days

so the green is way behind

This was my January 1st start

I dug this one out of the WIPs

Mystery Sampler as of 1-21-2017

As you can tell my stitching during the last three weeks

has been hit and miss, scattered, unorganized, etc.

Time to get organized again.

Meanwhile, go see the photos from the others in the WIP SAL

maybe they were more organized than I was lately

Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, LucyAnn, Kate, Jess, Sue, Constanze, Debbierose, Christina,

Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Helen, Steph, Linda, Catherine, Mary Margaret,

Heidi, Connie, 

Have a great week !

I changed the photo today.  I thought this painted canvas fit for this winter.  Everywhere seems to be having unusual weather for their winter.   And what better for those of with lots of snow but to stay home and stitch.

I do not have the name of the designer (or company), or the date this was copyrighted but the design itself is copyrighted.    Just enjoy the image for awhile.

Yes, it's snowing again!

No, it won't turn for me.

It's cold again, not sub-freezing but definitely cold.  The rain last night has turned to ice.  Now it's trying to snow. 

Worse yet - the Weather channel guy (Kim Cantore)  is in town.  That never bodes well.

Schools are closed.  Both needlework shops are closed as well as one of the yarn shops.

We have the grandson that is in school, for the day.  Work for other things is basically done, time to stitch.

My cat's resolution

Who knows what he wanted at 4 am this morning

We'll start with a "resolution"

I thought it was cute.

I joined a new-to-me SAL

Mill Hill Stitching

Mondays are Mill Hill Stitching days

So his my first Mill Hill WIP

Not sure when I started this and got this far

I know I didn't touch it in 2017

As of Tuesday morning

It has joined the others in the WIP bag

She'll come back out next Monday

It may be a slow method but it will ensure it gets attention.

First order of the day:

Being grateful for life, for others, etc

Sets a wonderful tone for each day

A few resolutions to pass on over the next few days:

update

Grandson is doing fine

Still don't know what bothered him

no fever, no sniffles, no cough

Best laid plans often take a backseat to watching over a sick grandkid.  One them had a mysterious upset tummy and associated problems.  We have spent quite a bit of time this week watching Star Wars (from 1-6, either the episode order or the order they were released - your choice) in no particular order other than what the grandson felt like watching.  It did give some stitching time but no computer time.

Resolutions soon.

Jan 3rd

The first stitched finish of 2018

Off to a good start.

Resolutions start tomorrow.

This is my New Year's start.  Started after Midnight.

Forgot to post it yesterday.

Was this you at midnight?
