Slow Sunday Stitching - March 2, 2025

Sorry about being missing in action last week; I got the flu that's going around.  Luckily a very mild case and I'm already back to 100%.   So I have two weeks to report on.  

First of all, it being the first Sunday of the month, here's the progress on the Temperature Stitches project (pattern by Sarah, Stitching Mommy).  This month the daily stitch was "Jessica Stitch", which is a specialty stitch that I hadn't come across before.  It builds up in layers like a Rhodes Stitch does, but the final two legs go UNDER the earlier stitches.  It was fun to do.  

And here's what the entire thing looks like now.  March will be eyelets and I'll share that on the first Sunday on April.   I've been keeping up with the stitch a day pace very easily.   And yes, Kansas has been having some unseasonable, but not record breaking, warm temperatures this last week.  

Next up is the TV and Travel project - the Mill Hill Timberline Santa kit "Norway Spruce Santa".  I finished the stitching, including the tiny bit of back stitch and the French Knot eyes on both animals while I was recuperating.  Now I'm on to the beading. I still have all the red beads on the coat and everything on the tree and ground yet to bead.  Plus the beard and finishing, of course.

Full Coverage February is completed, here's where the "Mead Dragon" ended up.  See the month end post for all the details and a comparison picture.  Aren't her little front feet/paws just the cutest.  One of her back paws will just be visible holding onto the rim of the drinking horn and should show up soon.

I'll be back to my usual goal of 2.5K stitches per month on his project and won't show it again until the end of March.  

Last but not least, the vintage crewel kit of the "Majestic Eagle".  I only got a couple of hours in on it this month due to all the time that the Dragon took up.  So, it will stay as my active focus piece until I get it to ten hours. 

Linking up with the SSS crew (current roundup).
