It’s been three weeks since our last update and I have made some progress on this project.
Here is where I left off last time:
Please visit the other blogs in the SAL to see what they are up to. You won’t be dissapointed!
See you in three weeks 🙂
Good morning from windy New York! We are expecting a high wind storm the next 2 days with winds reaching 75-80 mph. I didn’t get a lot stitched these last three weeks. I have been catching up on my reading instead of crafting but if the weather reports are right I will be getting a lot more stitching done if the power goes off.
We have a new member to add to the group this time. Welcome Sharon!
Here is where I left off with Crown of Thorns:
I worked on the bottom of his beard which was mostly whites.
If you have a chance, please visit the other members of the group by clicking on the links below. We are all working on fantastic projects.
See you in three weeks! -MM
It’s been three weeks since our last update and we have had multiple snow storms even blizzards in that time so boy did I get a lot done on my current project!
Here is where I left off last time which was my first post on this WIP:
And here is Jesus’s haunting face which is coming through beautifully:
It’s been an interesting experience working on this project. I had some trouble with knotting and misplaced stitches which led to some rip outs but once I started on His eyes is was like I was building him from bone structure to finally flesh. I should have taken a photo of that in-between process to show you.
I have never stitched a human face like this before.
Hopefully we won’t have any more blizzards for a while but I didn’t mind get stuck in the house stitching!

I’m back! I am so excited to be back with my favorite stitchers. I was gone for quite a while because I wanted to concentrate on getting my debt paid down. Now that I am well into my 80 week challenge I decided it was time to get back to stitching.
I received a kit for Christmas that I have been quite taken with for years. It’s a chart of Jesus’s face with His crown of thorns which is by Vervaco. Thank you mom for the very thoughtful Christmas present! This image is haunting to me. Just beautiful in fact.
I haven’t stitched a kit in years so I am trying not to mess us to often because I don’t want to run out of a color.
Here is the kit image and here is how much I have gotten done so far. I have had to rip thread out twice! I’ll get there though.
There are a lot of other stitcher in this group. Please visit their blogs by clicking on the links below. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you see! See you in three weeks! -MM.

That was a fast three weeks! I have been working mostly on the white picket fence and flowers since my last update. I thought these four seasons projects would be quick but there is a lot more to these than I thought.
Here is where I left off three weeks ago:
Here is where I am now:
Lots of filling in left to do plus there is a surprise in the sky that I have yet to start.
It’s been a busy month for us. Just about three weeks ago our daughter and her husband moved to the UK for the US Airforce and it’s been fun watching her explore and get used to her new surroundings! To all of my English buddies, look out for Emili and Phil Schwan for me!
See you in another three weeks. -MM
Please go and visit the other members of our SAL to see what they are up to. Their blogs are linked below.
It’s been another three weeks! I worked on my big project for the first half but got an itch to start a new project which I have been working on for the past week.
Onions and Gourds is coming along. I had to change the position of the fabric and I hope to get to the right side wall of the chart by the end of the next three weeks.
Here is were I ended last time:
Here is what I accomplished up to today:
I was getting sick of greens and blacks and yellows so I downloaded four free charts from brookesbooks.com. They are the four seasons house. I have started Spring House.
Adorable isn’t it?

This time of year is very tough for me to get much stitching done because I am a baker. Yesterday was a 10-1/2 hour day and it will only get worse as the weeks leading up to Christmas get closer. Throw my son’s and husband’s work schedules and basketball schedule in there and well…you know what I mean.
I worked on this project for about a week. I finished most of the first onion but for some reason was obsessed with finishing the black negative space of the project.
Here is where I was last time:
and here is where I am now:
I have been working on a few Christmas presents in between things. Here is a gift I stitched for my mother who loves to read:
Our Next Update is New Year’s Eve I believe (my son’s 16th birthday :)) I hope you all have a happy Christmas!
Please visit the other stitchers’ blogs in this group. I can’t tell you how talented this group is, you’ll have to see for yourself. -MM

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.
