Good morning from sunny New York! I really can’t believe it’s been 3 weeks since our last check-in.
I have been working mostly in my garden so not as much progress has been done on Crown of Thorns as I would have liked but here it is…
Where I left off last time:
And where I am now:
I have 4 more colors to do on the crown and then done!
Please visit the other stitching blogs. These ladies are working on some amazing projects!
See you in 3 weeks. -MM
What a gorgeous weekend it has been for us here in Upstate NY! Sunny and even warm today is the forecast. Before I run outside and play in my garden here is my three week SAL update.
Three weeks ago I left off with almost having the bottom finished:
After three weeks here is how far I have come:
I have finished the entire bottom half though it is hard to see with the wrinkle mark from the hoop. I got quite a bit done on the thorns!
I hope to finish this project in the next two updates. Although it’s been an amazing piece to work on my eyes definitely need a break.
Please visit the other members of this fun and extremely creative SAL group. If you are interested in joining us please contact Avis who is at the head of the list of Blogs.
See you again in June! -MM
Good morning everyone! I got quite a bit done on my Crown of Thorns WIP this last three weeks.
Here is where I left off:
Here is where I am now:
The whole left side of his face is done and the right side is done to the edge of the pattern except for some on the bottom.
Still looks eerily real doesn’t it? Next I will work on the crown of thorns.
One thing I have been having trouble with is the quality of the thread. It tangles very easily and breaks often which is very frustrating sometimes.

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!
In our Stitch-a-long group we blog our progress every three weeks. If you are interested in joining our group please contact Avis, the first name in the contacts below.

Life...one dash at a time
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.
