Early morning WIP Wednesday!

Two projects I'm working on. The alpaca is roughly half-done and on hold until I finish the memorial project. I did some work on it last night and this morning...and I was late for work because I got carried away. Ah well. At this rate it should be done in a couple of days.

Wow! It's looking great! I'm still working on Christmas presents!

Just started this one this morning, it will eventually be a Snoopy snow globe lol

Here's the one I finished yesterday!

Here's the one I posted last week all finished up!

Once I finish the third one I'll wash and iron and frame them all, hopefully I won't still be working on it on Christmas Eve lol

This reminds me. I got Snoopy Christmas socks two years ago. They lasted a year or so because I wore the heck out of them. Yes, even in summer.

I was gifted some TMNT socks that met a similar fate lol

Thanks! It turns out the smallest one, the snow globe, is actually the most difficult of the bunch... That's what I get for buying patterns in a hurry lol

Headless alpaca! ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Great progress on both, you're flying along (no pun intended) with the new piece. I have absolutely nothing to report this week due to covid kicking my arse and making me dizzy if I try to stitch. But hoping to get a bit of strength back soon ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Hope you're feeling better

For better or worse, I have a lot of motivation to stitch. I hope you feel better soon! Stay safe ๐Ÿ’œ

Better late than never right? I finished the bottom finally! (Well barring the rain)partially completed Totoro stitch.

I would be fighting a strong urge to stick a different animal's head on here at this point... ๐Ÿ˜
