January pillow – My Time Stitching

Today I realized that I never posted my February Pillow. In fact, I never put it out 😦 So in putting January pillow away and getting out the March pillow, I took some pictures.

The February pillow case, no pillow in it.

The March Pillow. I love all the blues and greens. Makes me thing Spring! Is it here yet? Kind of felt like it today. Sunny and in the low 40’s. Beautiful! Now onto some new stash I received this week. First some goodies from a very sweet friend:

The latest Just Cross Stitch magazine and some of the limited edition DMC floss. I love all the shades of blue in this floss. The magazine has a cute teapot design in it. Johanna knows I love tea pots. Here is the tea pot.

Very cute and springy. I love the colors in this one. It will be added to my long list of projects to do 🙂 Thank you Johanna. You are so sweet to think of me.

Next I have some more of Stephanie’s fabrics. This first batch I received on Tuesday:

The top left is Bliss, next to that is Twixt N Tween, under Bliss is Orange/tan, next to that is Turquoise, and on the bottom is Banshee. All are 16 ct Aida except for the Orange/tan-that is 28ct Lugana. They are all just beautiful. And on Thursday, I received these:

Regular Banshee on top and Banshee Brown on the bottom. They are both beautiful and Banshee Brown is awesome! It is what I want for my Asian JE Round Robin! Both of these are 16ct Aida. Stephanie is in the process of making me the Banshee Brown in 28ct Lugana for my RR. I can’t wait to get the fabric and get started on my layout.

So it’s been a good week with lots of fun stitchy stuffs to add to my stash. Thanks for stopping by to see what I have been up to:)

I welcomed in 2013 by starting Emerald Mermaid at the stroke of midnight (after kissing hubby). Unfortunately I haven’t added very many stitches since. Here is my start:

Not much of a start, but she is on my list to finish this year. More about my list in a bit. My hubby did have a finish already this year! He finished his 1st cross stitch project the other night and it turned out awesome!

He has already picked out the pattern for his next one. I think he may be liking this?? He wants to make more bookmarks and give them to the elementary school. What a sweetie.

I have put my January pillow in my rocking chair. Cute little snowmen on this one:

I never did get to the December pillow. I should add that to my list of things to stitch. But I think I am good for the next few months! I know that I have February and March completed.

Now on to my list. Here is a list of cross stitch projects that I would like to do this year. I know that it may be a little outrageous and unobtainable. But that’s ok. These are the things that I “would like to stitch” this year. Her is my list:

1. Autumn Seasonal Snowman (need to finish)

2. Angel of Grace (need to finish)

3. Butterfly Table Topper (need to finish)

4. Mirabilia’s Emerald Mermaid

5. Mirabilia’s Roses of Provence

6. Nora Corbett’s letters J O Y

7. Stoney Creek Seasons Banner: Summer

8. Heaven and Earth’s Gossamer Princess bookmark (need to finish)

9. Pixie afghan

10. Reindeer afghan

11. Nora Corbett’s Winter Fairy

12. Joan Elliott Round Robin

13. Marbek Nativity

14. A Joan Elliott Flower Fairy

15. Pillows of the month (April, May, June, July, August, September and December)

So that is my list. I hope to do some smaller projects in between these larger ones. And if I see any new patterns during the year that I just have to have, I may add them to the list also. Because you know that designers are always coming out with new things that I just can’t live without. So, I will keep you posted on my progress during the year. What is on your stitching list this year?
