(You can find my WIPcalypse goals here.)
Here is my progress for this month:
Monarch kit by Bucilla (don't get me started on how much I hate Bucilla kits!)
I started this last year, but laid it aside until recently.
This was my starting point on Feb. 28:
And this is where I am currently:
I also stitched another Christmas ornament. This is for my son. He loves Adventure Time, so I made a Gunter ornament for him.
March 16 – Topic: Show us your favorite places to stitch.
Here is my stitching spot. It's a very old Lazy Boy recliner (about 15 years old). It's well
You can see my armchair stitching caddy on the left side. My daughter made it for me (she's 13) with a little help from my mom . It holds my pattern, thread, highlighters, and ort jar. It's perfect it and I love it. :)
The "clothesline" on the wall holds all of my finished pieces that I haven't framed yet. There are also a few gifts from my daughter on it too.
You can't see it in the picture, but there is a small table on the left. I keep my laptop there. I usually watch Netflix on it while I'm stitching. When I'm not watching Netflix I like to listen to my radio. There's also a basket full of more stitching supplies on the left, but it is super messy at the moment so I chose not to add it to the picture. ;)
Here is a close-up of my armchair caddy. You can't see, but there's also one long pocket on the other side.
You can find lots of patterns to make your own if you do a quick google search.


Great progress on the butterfly kit. I like your clothesline idea for the untamed finishes.
ReplyDeleteMonarch looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching nest - what a wonderful idea to display your stitching while waiting for it to get framed!
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are beautiful! And now I'm worried, I recently bought a small Bucilla kit but I didn't remember anything being bad about them!
ReplyDeleteSorry if this is a duplicate comment. My first one disappeared!
ReplyDeleteYou really got a lot done on the butterfly! It will look beautiful when you finish.
The armchair caddy is wonderful! Every stitcher should have one. I hope to get a recliner to stitch in some day. Yours looks very comfy. I love your clothesline idea and might just have to steal it!
