I didn’t stitch as much during March other than during the first week or so – I think that seems to be how I naturally work on my crafts now by stitching at the start of the month (as I’m motivated by the Scattergories challenge that’s released on the 1st of every month), then followed by sewing and cardmaking once I’ve finished at least six of the stitching categories.
This month’s Scattergories letters were N and S, so I did approx 100 stitches for each of the categories in the following WIPs:
“Almost Halloween” by The Drawn Thread – I made pretty good headway on it this month as I managed to find prompts in the design for Spiders (Save a spider day – NOT one I personally celebrate!), Spectre (ghost) and Skeleton. Then I decided to just keep working on it to get it finished, as there was so little left to do on it. That means Almost Halloween is my 3rd finish for the year 😀
“Sea view” by Luca-S – this was supposed to be my birthday new start but I totally forgot it was my birthday (!) and then felt too flat to stitch. I managed around 200 stitches in early March then realised I needed to frog about 1/4 of it so it’s currently in the naughty corner … it did give me enough stitches for Shells in Scattergories though.
“Girls Night Out” by Just Another Button Company – I used the thread colour of Sweet potato for Scattergories.
“Supernatural” by Pixel in Stitches – Supernatural TV show was another Scattergories choice.
“2024 Mirabilia retreat mermaid” by Nora Corbett – the only category I used the letter N for, that of Designer name, for Scattergories.
“Three Kings” by Mill Hill/Jim Shore – I actually completed this update back on 10 February, but I forgot to update my blog post, so I’m adding the updated image here now 🙂
I also managed to finish three project bags between 28 February and 3 March.
Which are your favorite three designers?
This is a really hard question to answer, because my tastes are so eclectic. If I had to really choose, though, I’d probably say the following:
- Nora Corbett / Mirabilia
- Lizzie*Kate (the inspirational samplers and the fact they’re normally fairly quick to stitch)
- Just Nan or The Victoria Sampler or Periwinkle Promises or … haha
