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!

Jane Eyre, a Horse, and an Irish Harp

Paolo Chiabrando  on Unsplash Happy Tuesday! It's a rainy, windy day here at the Castle. When the wind whistles past the windows, it makes me feel like I'm in Jane Eyre, looking out across a moor. Have you ever read Jane Eyre? It was required reading for me in High School. So, have you ever read a book that's so engrossing that you can't bring yourself to put it down? That's what Jane Eyre was like for me. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it! While we're still on this topic, here's a free Jane Eyre cross stitch chart that I found on one of my adventures in the magical land of Pinterest.  Slow and steady wins the race, as the old saying goes. Here's my progress on Nikolai:  Russian Hunting by Riolis I've reached the other side of the horse's neck and chest! That bit of yellow peeking out on the far left hand side is the background starting to appear again. I believe that black line is one of the horse's reins. Square by squar...

Hot Chocolate, a Horse Ear, and Bonbons

  Rachael Gorjestani on Unsplash Happy Hot Chocolate Day! There's nothing quite like a hot, steaming mug of chocolate to brighten up a Winter day. And let me tell you, I need a hot drink here at the Castle. The weather has been absolutely freezing and very dark. Now, getting back to Hot Chocolate, here's a nice article I found that goes into the health benefits and history of that cheerful beverage. And if you're interested in really celebrating today, then here's a free Hot Chocolate PDF cross stitch chart that I designed a while back. The download is an ebook, so you'll get some other beverage themed freebie charts as well. Enjoy! Mind you, I haven't just been sipping mugs of Hot Chocolate and huddling over my heater (only some of the time). I've gotten in a good amount of stitching since my last post. Behold a horse ear:  Russian Hunting by Riolis I'm looking forward to stitching the pinks, yellows, and blues of the sky again. In shop update news, ...

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...
