Monthly Recap - January, 2025

January is typically a good stitching month and this January was no exception.  I worked on six projects, Four were new starts and two were WIPs carried over from last year.

First, I finished Santa Paws from the Mill Hill Winter Holiday Collection that had been started in December, 2024.

Next, I started and finished Gingerbread Lass from the Mill Hill Beaded Holiday Collection.

My third project was the Trees Sweater from Cross Stitcher Magazine #377 and designed by Emma Congdon.  It was started in November, 2024.

My fourth project and second start was the Snowman Sweater, also from Cross Stitcher Magazine #377 and designed by Emma Congdon.

 

My fifth project and third start was Little Miss Cross Stitch, the January Stitch It design from Amanda Dion of Creatively Crafting.

 

And my final project was the start and finish of the Starfish, the January StitchMe Bonus from Amanda Dion of Creatively Crafting.

I also FFO'd the four ornaments shown above and two that had been finished in 2024.
