Mira march SAL update

Time for another update but first I want to say Thank you all for joining us on our journeys as we stitch numerous projects. I've worked on Deepest Love for the better part of this week after finishing a small project. I'm trying to keep up with everyone and they all have had smokin' needles which I truly enjoy watching their progress. For now this is where I am ,
I took a break tonight from it to work on 3 French Hens from Michaela Learner's 12 Days of Christmas. Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles... xxxx

March - All Is Calm Progress

   I skipped this in February. I did stitch an ornament, but not this. Life has a way of laughing at the plans that we make. That's ok. Last night it hit me just how silly the pressure that I was putting on myself was. I give others with chronic health issues a huge break, but not myself?  Absolutely silly. I'm actually doing pretty good!  I need to applaud myself more often.
   This month I had thought that I would spend more time stitching on this, but I made a promise to myself. I'm going to try to keep it. I don't know if I'll finish my Snowman Ornament for this month, but I can do my best.
   I don't remember exactly which day I pulled this out, and I didn't stitch every day. I spent time with my husband, and getting used to my new compression stockings. My legs are definitely feeling better. The pain and soreness is starting to pass. Soon I may even tell how much fat has accumulated on my calves, and not just edema.
  I digress with life again. LOL! This month I'm not going to include all of my progress pictures. I thought that I would  just share my starting, and stopping points. I'm happy with how much I was able to do.
   See you soon with this month's  Snowman Ornament. I hope that you are are all well. Or at least well enough and happy.

Mira March SAL Update #4


Sooo.... I love Stargazer. But I needed a break. She was getting heavy and hurting my wrist, so I decided to start a new Mirabilia for Mira March. You might have seen the new Mirabilia that was released in February. Her name is Andromeda. I find her a bit...meh. She's nice, but not really my thing. That is, until it was pointed out to me that she would make an amazing Ariel. YES PLEASE. So, I've started my first Mira conversion. So. Scary. But I'm really enjoying it.

I made up this digital conversion and it hooked me. So I picked up the fabric and pattern a week or so ago and started her on March 25th. The fabric is Sunny Dyes "Surf & Sky".








Here's my progress so far. She's rather small, much smaller than Stargazer. She's only like 8x11 inches finished and fits on a Fat 1/8. I'm hoping to finish her next month. Wish me luck. ^_^

Progress for the Mira March SAL

Hello my sweet stitching sisters, I hope this evening finds everyone well. My post have been few and far between but I am going to try and be more consistent in the future. First up -Starting point last night ( 3-23-2017)and progress since then...... Starting point |

Progress as of  tonight... I'll stitch a little more on this before calling it a night. Working the weekend so I am hoping to stitch some in the evenings..
Working blocks of one color does help the stitching to go a little faster plus the fabric is a dream to stitch on.. Next up is a small finish.. Daffy Cat's Reindeer # 6 of 9. Star Reindeer. So cute and so proud looking , I am loving these, they are easy to stitch!

Until next time... Happy Stitching, may Mr. Frog stay away and you have smokin' needles!

Mira March SAL Update #3

Excuse the bad photo, but she's off the Q-Snaps, so I thought I'd post an update. Her skirt is coming along nicely. I was hoping to get her cross stitching done this month, but I'm not sure it's gonna happen. We have some big home renovations starting this weekend, so I'm not sure how much stitching I'll get in.  But I'll get very close to the end, that's for sure. I think I'll be able to completely finish her (including the beading) next month.

Mira March SAL Update #2

I finished the top half of Stargazer! Of course, most of the pattern is the bottom half.... That dress goes on for ages. But I'm loving her so far!

My Mirablilia start and another row finished

Hello fellow SALers!

I made a start on Deepest Love by Mirabilia.  I enjoyed working on it so much I am having a hard time not just stitching on it everyday.


Yesterday I finished off the 8th row on ABC's Of Parenting.  Only 3 more to go!


Hope you are all well!

Happy Stitching!

Happy Stitching and may you have smokin' needles!









My Mira March Starting Point

Here is my start for Mira March.
I will be working on Mirabilia's Stargazer. I started this on September 21st on 2016. The fabric is PolStitches' Moon.
My goal is to finish all the cross stitching in this project in March. I don't imagine I'll finish the beading this month, but I really want to finish it completely in the next two months.

(Oh, and ignore the pins in a line in the middle of the fabric. I had a concern about whether she was gonna fit on the fabric, so I counted to the edge. She fits. ^_^)

Mira March has arrived!

MiraMarch is here lovelies!!! I cannot wait to see all the beauty that's ahead!! 💗

Finally Home!! ;)

Hello lovelies!!

Well, it has been a long time coming but I have FINALLY finished stitching Lizzie Kate's At Our House. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece and I think maybe the reason it took me so very long was because it was a piece I was sad to see end. Am I making any sense?  Possibly not with this crazy cold I have lol.

I am looking forward to getting a few more WIPs out of the way over the course of the next few months. Especially those that may be slightly past due on when they should have been done. Alas, a gift is a gift regardless of the day!

Now, because I already have so many WIPs on the go I will add in one more!! Lol Here's to MiraMarch and my wonderful Stitchy friends!!

Have a great Stitchy Day!! XO
