It’s been over a year since I’ve posted on here. Life gets crazy, especially with a little one.

I’ve decided that I want to document my progress for the newest project I’ll be working on. Stewart from Cunning Cross Stitch just released his newest Stitch Your Own Adventure and it’s The Hobbit themed!!!!!!!! Im SOOOOOO excited!!!!!!! The intro and frame JUST released today and so far the design is completely amazing!!!!!

So for a Stitch Your Own Adventure, it’s just like the Choose your own adventure books we all loved as kids 🥰 You get to choose different elements within the pattern to add to your piece. Today in the intro we learned our first adventure is designing our own hobbit hole. There’s a cute story that goes along with it and you get to choose where you want to go.

We get to choose the season (spring, summer, or fall), If we want there to be a party or not, what kind of material our hobbit house will be made of, what kind of door, windows, and porch we will have, if we want a chimney, and SO many more elements we can choose. It’s incredible the amount of thought and design went into this!

So far I’ve decided my tree will be a summer tree and the hobbits will be having a party. I also choose the cobblestone hobbit house. I haven’t decided on the rest yet.

I’ll be transferring the design into the cross stitch program I have so that I can organize it and fix it and work the pattern until I’m happy with it, and then I can print it out when I’m ready to start stitching it ❤️

Latest part done for the Magic Kingdom Stitch a Long. It was Aladdin 🙂 🧞‍♂️

Only 1 more part left to go and that releases on Dec 1st. I’m gonna take a guess and say it could be Tangeled, because there’s a tower that will most likely go in the middle and who else has a super tall tower? But then again ya never know 🤷‍♀️😉

Life has been crazy, but I’m trying to still make some time for my stitching🧵 🪡

Finally caught up with my Wondees of the Solar System SAL! Kinda sad but happy. Next month is the last installment, so happy it’ll be finished but sad because this one has been really fun to work on!

As you can see, the fabric is as tall as my 2 year old 🤣 This is for him to hang in his room, and then one day I hope he will want to pass it onto his children so it becomes a family heirloom like my grandmothers needlepoint is to me. Climbing Goat Cross Stitch Designs is doing a constellation SAL next year and I want to do that one too!

It’s been awhile but I finished my latest piece 🙂 The design is Yarnball of Kittycats by Bent Creek. This was the kit I got for my birthday this summer. Now to figure out if I want to frame it or use a hoop to finish it.

Been working on my stitching the past 2 days. My Magic Kingdom SAL is caught up and so is my Wonders of the Solar System SAL too! 🥰

So now I have to work on catching up my Haunted Mansion SAL (I’m 51/2 sections behind 😳) At some point I will catch up.

AND…….. I’ve got a new SAL I’m going to be starting this month too! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤗 It’s a Beauty and the Beast themed one to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the movie!

Started my newest stitch project 🥰

I saw this pattern in my local stitchy shop and I had to get it! It uses a different type thread than I normally use, but it came with a kit with everything in it and I had to have it. Stay tuned for more progress.

It was my Birthday this past weekend. I spent some of my birthday funds on getting some new patterns and got a gorgeous hand dyed fabric for the Beauty and the Beast Stitch A Long I’m going to be starting in Sept 🙂 I wasn’t going to do it at first, but I saw this fabric and I HAD to have it! I knew it would be perfect for it.

The Ballroom has been started!!!! Slowly catching up! I’m on part 6 now, and they just released part 9 a few days ago.

For once (since months ago lol) all of my other stitch a longs are all caught up. So until the 1st I only have this one to work on. Hopefully I can at least get 1 more room completed by then 🙂

OMG those rings were a pain to stitch on black 32 count fabric 😳 lol It’s coming along nicely though. Now I have to wait until August 15th for the next release of the pattern.
