The frog is coming visiting soon

 I was going so well with this piece and then I realised I was half a stitch out with my start on the U and the O so I'm going to have to remove all those stitches and re-do them. I've put it away for tonight but it's due to come out again on the 1st of March as that's it's WIP birthday. If things go well I'm hoping to finish it on the 1st.

Before I realised the boo-boo I got in 300 stitches and thought it was 64% complete.

This is my own design and is intended to be made into a potholder at some point. 

As today was the 25th it was time to stitch on a Christmas project. 

590 stitches on the Christmas Collaboration 1999 between Just Nan, Charland Designs and Shepherds Bush Printworks to bring this piece to 24% complete. 

A fraction of a fractal was stitched

466 stitches, in black and white on this piece. Terrible photo and I'm not absolutely loving it because it's on 14ct white aida and it just seems so chunky. This is the free version of Fractal 408 from Cross Stitch Collectibles. This piece is now 15% complete.

 

The frog visited today

 For some reason I kept making mistakes on this and a few curse words were spoken but I did finally manage 393 stitches on this piece

Linen and Thread not quite so much a mystery anymore 2017 on 36ct Siena linen by Graziano in scarlet using 2 strands DMC 310 I am working on the April instalment. 

A Phoenix didn't quite rise

 But I did put in 661 stitches on 28ct black fabric in one day so that's an achievement. This one is now 52% complete and I will finish the blue the next time it gets picked in my rotation. Goal this year is to finish this piece.

Another new start

 That's 4 finishes this year and 6 starts. This was not quite what I had in mind when I decided to do WIPGO 2021

Stitched on 32ct Antique Ivory Belfast Linen using Carrie's Creations threads in Raspberry and Navy.

280 stitches and about 3% complete.

Along came a spider...

 

This design is from the Just Cross Stitch Halloween Issue 2020, it's a design by Evdokia Nikolaeva and called Floral Spiderweb. I got in 351 stitches, but alas i'm out of DMC 300 so this one will have to wait to be finished.

Knowing I've been out or very low on a couple of threads lately, I dug out my crate of extras and did a thread inventory. Turns out there were 33 colours that I didn't have any of, so order placed for 2 of each with Love Crafts and hopefully they should be with me in 3-6 days.
