The Fourth was pretty quiet around here. A little homemade ice cream, family, and relaxation. Nothing special but special all the same.
Before we get to the stitching update, I really must say thank you to all who participated in my little questions about cleaning.
I most likely need to do a little lightning up in life! Tidy is good, but perfection not so much. Y'all were all very helpful in reminding me of that.
I have another question post coming later, but gotta find time to type it up. Stay tuned!
For now, I am doing a little stitching update.
I stitched two Christmas projects which will be the focus of this post, but I have also been stitching on my larger projects too. I will save that progress for later.
I finished my little chickadee. As I said, I stitched this from a 1992 magazine. I still haven't stitched the project for which I purchased this magazine, but there is really not a bad page in the magazine which is one reason I held onto it for so long.
I have always called my children "my little chickadees" so maybe one of them will recognize it for that one day.

Now let's view the inspiration for the next project.
Carol at Saltbox Stitcher on Youtube and here on Instagram posted these little cuties on her IG account.

I instantly fell in love and saved the picture.
This is when you are mad at yourself for not ordering a pattern when it is first out because I really liked it.
I ended up tracking it down on eBay and so the first one has been stitched.

I really like them and hope to have all 8 of the carols stitched by Christmas, but I have a lot of things I want stitched by Christmas.
I will just keep plodding along and we will see.
In other news, it is hot hot hot.
Does that mean I am old? I remember when I was a young girl thinking older folks talked about the weather a lot.
I am also feeling a tad anxious about the Gulf this week. Blogger friends, send up prayers that this thing will just fizzle out and bring normal amounts of rain in needed places and nothing more.
Stitching away,
Sandy
