Wednesday Update - 3/6/2019

Another Wednesday; another Wednesday Update!  I didn't do too badly this week.  I had one new start and finish, one other new start, and worked on three additional WIPs.  I did stitch everyday, but some days a lot less than usual.

First, my finish is Love is in the Air.  This was the free cover kit that came with World of Cross Stitching #278, but I don't know who designed it.  It's stitched with the materials in the kit, but I made several changes to "fix" the 1/2 stitch back stitch and eliminate the french knots.  I left off all of the french knots and changed the circle in the middle of the big heart into a smaller heart.  I forgot to take a picture before I added it to the card included in the kit.

Started: 2/27/2019  Finished: 3/1/2019

As for the WIPs:

I stitched Part 5 of the Anemone.  We're working clockwise around the center of the flower.

I continued stitching on the February Owl (yes, I'm behind on this one).

I also worked on Big Trees, which is a WIP that was last stitched on in 2018.  There's a Focus Stitch on the WIPacolypse SAL where you choose a project and add at least one stitch a day for the entire month of March.  It's also one of my YOW projects.

Finally, I started March, a free chart from Palko Lap.  

WIP Wednesday - 7/11/2018

Not too much stitching went on this week.  I did finish my rotation on Big Trees though.

This shows the entire width of the project, but it's only about 1/3 completed. 

I also started Santa Quintet, but there hasn't been enough progress made to post an update.

WIP Wednesday (on Thursday) - 7/4/2018

I completely forgot about yesterday being Wednesday until I read someone else's WIP Wednesday post, what with all the excitement and celebrating so I'm a day late this time, but I do have something to show.

After finishing the Summer Holidays Mouse, I started the Fabulous Banana, but didn't get much done on it.  The space in the middle of the yellow is his/her mouth.

I also continued with the next piece in my rotation which was Big Trees.  

As of 6/30/2018

As of 7/4/2018

I've changed my rotation a bit.  Instead of working on each project for a week, I'm going to do 1000 stitches this time around and see how that works.  This is because some days I can stitch more than others so some projects are progressing faster than others.

WIP Wednesday - 4/4/2018

This time for my large project, I rotated to Big Trees and finished the tree trunks and started more trees and sky.  What's showing is now the full width of the chart.

For my small project, I started a strawberry, one of the Funky Fruit charts in Cross Stitch Crazy #192.

I guess I should explain what I mean by a big or small project.  A big project uses Q-snaps on my floor stand and a small project can be stitched in hand or with a 5" hoop.

WIP Wednesday - 2/14/2018

I can't believe it's Wednesday again, but I have two projects to show you this week.  First is my progress on Big Trees.

As of 2/7/18

 At this point I switched to Tinkerbell Summer Blossoms which is my project for Cross Stitch Frog Busters Spring Forward SAL (work on an old WIP and try to finish it.)

As of 1/1/2018

This is what it will look like when finished.  The color is closest in the picture directly above.

WIP Wednesday - 2/7/2018

This week, my "large project" has been Big Trees from the National Park Needlework Collection.  I started it about a year ago and finished 1/4 of it and then set it aside.  I pulled it out on Thursday for the Full Coverage Stitchathon in Cross Stitch Frog Busters.
