Wip Rotation Report

Cross Stitch Update

 Welcome back! This time, I'm going to talk about the progress I've made on my wip's.

 So here is my progress from June 16th- June 26th

 Since the 16th I stitched on:

  • J is for Jack O Lantern
  • Leilani
  • Still Life with Tangerines 
  • Paris Market


 J is for Jack O Lantern 

  I am in the center of the pumpkin right now. The floss colors are so autumnal. Found the perfect needle minder!

 Leilani

  I am always excited to draw Leilani in my lottery! She is my first Mirabilia and I absolutely love her. The first time I saw her was when I was watching a Flosstube video. I gasped she was so beautiful. When my Mother said she was a freebie, I was over the moon. The Caron Waterlillies are a joy to use. I made some substitutions here and there and this is not the called for fabric.

Still Life with Tangerines 

 Luca S hits it outta the park each time. They chart their designs so well. I really like the way the leaves look.

Paris Market

 So many color changes! As you can see, on the left hand side I got to stitch some pink. 

Paris Market

 Here's the overview:


  • Sunday, June 16th: Leilani
  • Monday, June 17th: J is for Jack O Lantern
  • Tuesday, June 18th: Wild Card: J is for Jack O Lantern
  • Wednesday, June 19th: Wild Card: Still Life with Tangerines
  • Thursday, June 20th: Wild Card: Paris Market
  • Friday, June 21st: No Stitching
  • Saturday, June 22nd: No Stitching
  • Sunday, June 23rd: Still Life with Tangerines
  • Monday, June 24th: Still Life with Tangerines (Decided not to do the lotto that day as it was an extremely busy day. I only put in about ten stitches before I started to fall asleep sitting up and decided to go to bed before I made a huge mistake)
  • Tuesday, June 25th: Still Life with Tangerines
  • Wednesday, June 26th: Wild Card: Paris Market


 Well, that's my update! Still Life with Tangerines sure did get picked a lot. Still early in the evening, so I'm off to my stitchy spot for some TV and stitching on Paris Market. Hope you all have a lovely week.

  Happy stitching!

Meet Nikolai, and Eat Mississippi Pot Roast

Meet Nikolai Or at least, meet Nikolai's head.  See that dark block of stitches in the middle? Yes, that is Nikolai's head. He has one of those warm Russian hats on, so he won't catch cold riding through this winter scene.  I really like stitching in 10x10 squares, it's amazed me how much progress one can make when using this method.  Russian hunting is absolutely stunning, but maybe it's time for a change soon. Here's my tentative plan: keep stitching on Russian Hunting until the end of January, then at the beginning of February put it away and start working on one of my other wips. We'll see. Mississippi Pot Roast If you've had this dish, you know it's heavenly. If you haven't had it, you're missing out. Simple as that!  Beef, ranch dressing mix, pepperoncini peppers, and au jus. It sounds like a weird combo, but trust me- it is amazing. One of my all time favorite meals ever.  The flavors mix together beautifully. There's r...

My Current Rotation

Cross Stitch Update  Today I'd like to introduce you to my rotation.   But first, let me explain how I choose what to stitch on everyday. I use a lottery system, mostly because I have a lot of wip's right now, and partly because I'm terrible at making decisions. I used to spend so much time agonizing over which one to stitch on. It also means that I spend a good amount of time on all of my wip's, not just the ones that are calling to me. I have gotten two  finishes since I started using this system at the beginning of the year.   I have seen some Flosstubers using an app, but my Mother and I thought that this would be much more fun after seeing Sitchin' Mommy use a similar system on her Flosstube channel for her Arbitrary August videos. The only day that I don't use the lottery is on Sunday. I stitch on whatever is calling to me on Sundays.   I used eight glass beads- the kind you buy at the dollar store- and labeled them A through H with a Sharpie. Then I...
