Contemplating stitching for 2026 on a Slow Sunday...

 Hello - I hope you had a great Christmas! Mine was very nice... spent the day with family and ate waaaaay too many appetizers and sweets... lots and lots of sweets...sugared pecans, iced cookies, fudge, cinnamon rolls, toffee... and speaking of toffee, I was gifted a box of Flaherty's Irish Top Of the Evening Dark Chocolate Toffee... OMG... that stuff should come with a black box warning about how addictive it is!!!  The only thing that has kept me from not ordering another box is that they are sold out... here's a link to their website... glad I went and got that fasting blood test earlier in the week...LOL 

The weather has been decidedly NOT Christmasy ...we've had almost a week of days with temperatures in the upper 60's and the forecast for today is 70....what??? I'm not complaining... it reminds me of the Christmases I spent in California... I'd be fine if it stayed like this, but Mother Nature is returning from her Christmas break and by Tuesday the high will only be in the 20s. Not seeing any snow in the 10 day forecast so that's a good thing.  Nick and I are going to put away the Christmas inflatables today while it is nice. I have a big snowman I might put up where Henrietta the 8 ft. chicken was...

 So now it is that time of year when I need my phone to tell me what day of the week it is... and where I contemplated what I did in 2025... what I  got started  (turns out there were a lot of starts), what I finished (an okay amount), and what I want to do next year ( more than I will get done...LOL). 

I'm looking ahead to 2026... I don't make New Year's resolutions but I do try to make a little list of projects I would like to get around to... nothing set in stone ... and definitely subject to change... which if you've read this blog for any length of time you know I change my mind A LOT...LOL 

So let's start out with a Blessings Sampler for January 2026... at first I said I was going to do the Chilly Cardinals Sampler... 

I even picked up the DMC flosses for it at Hobby Lobby... and it is very cute and not a really big piece... but I changed my mind. I moved on,  thinking I'd do a patriotic sampler as I want some new pieces to display for the 250th birthday of the United States of America this July... and Scarlett House's Patriotic Alphabet seemed like a great choice as it is small ... only 79 x110 stitches... 

But I got thinking... and that always gets me into trouble... years ago Brenda of Brenda and the Serial Starter did a video showing all the beautiful samplers she had in her home... you can see that video here... and like everyone who saw it I just drooled over her collection. Brenda spoke the name of each sampler and the designer for every sampler she showed EXCEPT one... a long skinny piece tucked back in a little space that she had done years and years ago... if you watch the video you can see the sampler at the 29 minute mark... and of course THAT was the sampler that I wanted to stitch... but she didn't know anything about it and  I didn't know anything about it ... so how could I find it?  No name, no designer, no company, no nothing. I resigned myself that I would never be able to locate it and then one day out of the blue I was looking at a website that was selling a bunch of old charts from someone's stash and BAM!! there is was!!! It is called Alpha-bits by Wild Heart Designs and the price was a whopping $2!!! 

Well I immediately purchased it and I've thought about starting it several times but never got my butt in gear. It is 30 stitches wide and 585 stitches long so on 32 ct linen it will be 36.56" long...so it is a BIG BIG BIG piece....each letter is separated by a band of specialty stitches... I came to cross stitch from doing needlepoint and I LOVE all the specialty stitches so this is right up my alley...  this pic is a little better...

I ordered the Wichelt linen I like from 123Stitch and I'm going to paint it ... I'm thinking Rit Apple Green and Aquamarine ... not sure exactly what thread I'm going to use ... right now I'm contemplating 3 different ones... and my goal is to get this stitched before January 31... one letter  and one dividing band a day... here's an example of each decorative stitch diagramed...

it seems doable ( okay this may be the sugar high I'm on talking)..and having a deadline to meet should keep me motivated... fingers crossed...

Oh I googled the Alpha-Bits chart and I found it here ... for $18... which isn't a bad price as it is 12 pages  with the cover. 

I've done a Blessings Sampler for the last 2 years...  

In 2024 I stitched Prairie Schooler No. 64 The Christmas Alphabet...

In 2025 when I was laid up with a fractured knee I stitched Ninon by Jardin Prive...

I know I'm being ambitious with Alpha-Bits but I'm going for it!!  

As for the rest of the year, like last year and the year before that and the year before that, I'd like to go back and finish up some of the pieces I've started. There are 3 that stand out to me at the moment  and where they currently stand: 

1.  Summer Schoolhouse Lessons in Abecedarian by With Thy Needle and Thread... instead of individual little pillows as it was charted  I'm doing it as one long piece like that picture below. This pic does not show how gorgeous the linen is that I'm stitching on. I painted it myself and I just kept adding more and more colors as it didn't look anything like I thought it would  ... but it came out even better ... and there is no way on God's green earth that I can ever duplicate it... I might even consider this patriotic as that blank spot on the side of the blue house gets an American flag. 

2. Blackbird Designs Crowns & Shields ... I plan to stitch about 3/4th of the total design... this is a leftover from my "7 for my 70th birthday" debacle...

3.  American Sampler by Primrose Cottage... a nice new addition to my patriotic collection... can't wait to get down to the alphabet part!

Now I'm certain more "new to my stash" projects will show up, and there are plenty of other UFO's that are aging in their private little project bags. I'll NEVER run out of things to stitch... and that is a very good thing, isn't it? 

I looked back on my calendar and according to my list I finished 19 different cross stitch pieces... some tiny and some quite substantial... I also realized I started a lot of charts but I'm not going to figure out how many...it is what it is. What I also need to do is get several of these completed pieces to the framer... that's a nice goal for 2026. 

While making these cross stitch plans I did a bit more knitting ... the last 2 weeks have had a lot of sitting around waiting for others to get appointments completed... I finished this pair and gave them away as a Christmas gift...

And I finished this sock... and I have its mate pretty far along... another one where I'm alternating 2 different Opal yarns... 

 have a hankering to start another pair where I alternate 2 different yarns with a pink color palette.. because what I really need in my life is more projects... that's sarcasm...LOL

This is the entire box of little mini Opal goodies that was in my Advent calendar... I'm happy with this purchase...now to wind them into little balls and knit some super scrappy socks with them... more projects!

By my calculations I should be able to knit about 4 pairs of scrappy socks out of this box... and I really liked how they labeled each one... 

I'm resting up today... I watched Elliott on Friday and I'll have him here tomorrow. His Mom and Dad are both playing catch up at their workplaces.  Nick has a doctor appointment on Tuesday. Probably take a certain family member to lunch on New Year's Eve and afterwards I will be safely tucked into my cozy house for the evening. An individual one street over always  provides fireworks, whether the rest of the neighborhood wants them or not.  I might even put in a few stitches on my Blessings Sampler project  as it will be a little while before he exhausts his supply of fireworks.  I've got my New Year's Day activities all planned out... I will spend it engaged in all the endeavors I want to pursue throughout the year... I will cross stitch a little, I will knit a little, I will spend a little time at my sewing machine, I will nap a little  and I will go out to eat... the kind of day I could repeat over and over and over and over!

I'll link up with Kathy's Quilts for the final time this year...  and I send you best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2026!

Reflections of Christmas on a Slow Sunday...

Hello - big sigh here... it has been a week... I've been dealing with a family member who has physical and mental medical issues and it has been exhausting... it has required a ton of my attention and left me sad and mad... getting old isn't easy and we all deal with it differently ... and then combine that with past drama and well... you can figure it out... as I write this on Saturday I'm sitting out on my sunroom porch with the space heater running and  I'm trying to take a little  break and steel myself for the upcoming Christmas week... I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I feel like something is going to happen and it will require more attention... again, big sigh.

So let's  move on and look at my big shelf display... even I am a bit surprised by how much I crammed into 5 shelves....here's an overall view...

from the top... the Quaker Noel Row from Bent Creek... I brighten this up a bit and it wasn't until about 3 years after I stitched it I realized there is No Letter L...No L... Noel... so clever...

below is my needlepoint creche scene I stitched in 1984... the designer was Polly Carbonari ... I used a bunch of decorative stitches, perle cotton and a little glitz...I think it has stood the test of time quite well... and I never had a moment's thought where it or I would be 41 years later.

This shelf has 2 Blackbird Designs  samplers... the one with the green background is Feliz Navidad which is Nick's favorite Christmas song and the one with the light background is Merry Christmas... more classic designs that are timeless...IMHO... 

and I have The Christmas Bird by With Thy Needle & Thread... I love that it is stitched on the cocoa colored linen.

Moving down from left to right... the little deer were a Prairie Schooler freebie  I found on Pinterest years ago...

and then there is an angel from Peppermint & Holly by WTN&T and  a Pineberry Lane lady from A Sprig of Holly in front of the The 12 Days of Christmas from Prairie Schooler...

and rounding out that shelf are the Angels PS No. 42... I like that I have some Christmas pieces stitched on turquoise backgrounds ... I like the little pop of color here and there... 

Next shelf has Oh Christmas Tree from All through the Night and Up on the Housetop PS No. 25 and another Pineberry Lane lady from Merry Littles. 

And last but not least is In Santa Claus Land by WTN&T keep a small stack of Christmas quilts company...

And speaking of Christmas quilts...nice segue, huh...LOL... I'm gifting this quilt... Fat Quarter Four Patch done in the Basic Grey collection Jolly Good to my son and daughter in law... 

Here's the whole layout before it got quilted...

And here's pic after I got it bound... Delinda of The T Shirt Quilt Company did the quilting...

And here is the panto ... I think it complements this quilt so well... 

and we aren't going to delve too deeply into the fact that this quilt has been waiting for a binding since this time last year... big sigh... 

A shout out to LindaKay who left a comment last week asking where the PS snippet pillow came from... I found it... Prairie Schooler No. 135... you can see it here... I took it out of the middle of the chart. 

So I think I'm ready for the festivities of the week... we will open presents with Elliott on Christmas Eve and then Santa visits his house Christmas morning with just Mom and Dad... as for Christmas Day his parents host an open house where everyone brings appetizers and sweets ... low key and relaxed... and we all need that, don't we?

I need to finish up the pillow case for Elliott... I was going to work on it Friday night but I was too pooped and I don't want to mess it up as the fabric I got is out of print now... space robots... right up his alley...and maybe then I'll sew a little for me... all the running around last week left very little time or energy for craftyness. I did cross stitch a bit, I picked back up the American Sampler by Primrose Cottage and I knitted another sock... lately knitting has been my comfort craftyness... pretty yarn paired with minimal mental attention required... hard to believe the year is almost over... next week will be a good time to look back and see what got accomplished... more than what I remember, but less than what I wanted... to be sure. 

I'll link up with Kathy's Quilts today... I'll bet there will be some pretty Christmas stuff there.

 A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone who comes and reads my ramblings every week... I hope I entertain you a bit ... and I hope that the Christmas holidays bring you peace, love and joy!

happy stitching-

A collection of hot air and other stuff on a Slow Sunday...

 Hello - as I sit here and write this post on Saturday afternoon it is snowing... it is snowing A LOT... forecast is for 4 to 6 inches ... I hope they are wrong... they were wrong on Friday when they predicted 1 to 3 inches and we got a dusting... and to add insult to injury after the snow the temperature is going to plummet... the high tomorrow is expected to by 17 degrees with a low of zero... brrrrrr... Monday should still be cold but on Tuesday things change again and warm up and by Thursday they are predicting 50 degrees... Welcome to Ohio... if you don't like the weather just wait a bit... it WILL change...

Anyway I'm sitting in my cozy recliner watching the snow fall and I have a pot of Lemon Chicken soup with orzo simmering on the stove... that will make a lovely dinner with some sandwiches ... I have no place I need to go and I do love being home... and like so many of the past weeks I was in and out and in and out of the house a whole lot last week. Only have one little crafty thing to show which I will get to but I'm going to start off with my outdoor winter decor obsession... inflatables... now I know a lot of people do not like them... but I DO!!  They make me smile... and several of my neighbors are into them too... right across the street Angie has a huge inflatable gnome wearing a Christmas tree as a hat with a star at the top that blinks... and next to her Mimi has a Christmas tree inflatable that lights up and spins along with a small Bluey inflatable her grandkids love. Across the street from Mimi those neighbors are into Minions and the one they have out now is dressed as Santa... and then my other neighbor Bill put this out in his yard... 

OMG!! I LOVE THIS GUY!!  I looked online and found out he's 10 ft long... and he is happy!! 

And that led me to thinking about my side yard ... I had one small sad inflatable gingerbread man but he sprang a leak and just layed there on the ground... may he rest in peace... so I checked out Amazon for a replacement and  boy did I find some great gingerbread men inflatables... so I put one in my cart, and then there was a little boy and girl set they were too cute to leave behind, and then another one jumped into the cart and in the end I got 4 new inflatables... a Gingerbread gang!!

Here is the side yard at night... the cute gingerbread kids...

and I love the big headed guy and his skinny friend...

In the front yard I have a large candle, a small angel and a little gnome... 

And the star of the show... Henrietta has returned from her unfortunate accident last year when she was stabbed by some ne'er do well...  should have brushed the snow off her face but I couldn't reach it... Henrietta is a BIG girl... 8 ft tall dontcha know...

and here she is at night...

I'm hoping that my Ring doorbell will deter anyone from touching her... I got the original Henrietta from Tractor Supply last year... this year I was able to find a replacement on eBay... but for twice the price... sigh... this year's version is a Christmas present from my son and it makes me very very happy! And that is my collection of hot air for this Christmas...LOL

As for indoor decor my little tray of Merry Mini Santas is on the dining room table... they are from Prairie Schooler's No. 215...

Around the corner on the small wall ...

I bought a few new reproduction Shiny Brites ornaments for the display rack...

On the  top of the shelf unit I have a reproduction ceramic Christmas tree... I wish I knew what happened to the one my Mom made back in the late 60s... 

and on the other side J'Arrive by Tournicoton with some little reproduction Gurley candle choir girls... I remember my Mom having some of these too...

Below I have my Santa head mug collection... I have a couple more that wouldn't fit here... I think I'm up to 14... I'd love to have more but I don't know where I could display them... gotta think about that... I've tucked in some little cross stitched Santas... I'd like to add more... a project for next year... 

At the bottom I have The Drawn Thread's Little Bits of Christmas and a little pillow that's a snippet from another Prairie Schooler but I don't remember which one...

And the bigger pillow is from With Thy Needle & Thread, The Best Time of the Year. 

I don't want to leave out the prettiest wreath I've ever made....

I made this back in 2017 and it has held up beautifully... I store it in one of those large round plastic wreath boxes ... I followed a video on how to make one that you can see here... when we were cleaning out the storage area under the steps I found a bunch of ornaments I bought to make another one of these... and I might just do that this year... we shall see. 

As for crafty stuff I am sticking to my pronouncement of doing what I want when I want to do it and I've been knitting socks... it is mindless and right now that's all I'm up for... I finished the second sock and now this pair is done...

and I started another pair ... this one is a mix of purple and turquoise and that one ball has a tiny bit of yellow and lime green in it...

the perfect project for today when I can sit here and look out the window, watch the snow fall and try to keep count of how many times the salt truck has blown past my house... he is really booking it... in the time I've taken to write this post he's buzzed past 3 times...  I will say my local little town does a good job on snow... 

So plans for next week... I have to take a family member for a medical appointment on Monday and a dentist appointment on Thursday... Tuesday I'll hang out with Elliott for a while... it is his last week of school this year... Wednesday and Friday look quiet... but somehow I'm sure something will come up... I might do a little sewing this week... I do need to make a pillow case for Elliott's Christmas gift... I always put his big gift in a pillow case ... this year it is a large Lego set... and I'd like to get that Momo quilt I started back in January of 2024 finished ... and there are plenty of UFOs I could also play with... I'm thinking of what I want to work on in 2026 but as is my behavior, NO New Year's resolutions will be made... just some positive thoughts for stuff I'd like to play with. 

Hope your week ahead is a good one... I think I'm done with my Christmas shopping, just have to wrap some stuff up... I'll link up with Kathy's Quilts today... I'm sure there are posts with plenty of craftyness to read about there...

happy stitching-

A theme of unexpected events discussed on a Slow Sunday...

Hello - well it was quite the week... filled with unexpected events which caused my plans to change multiple times ... but in at the moment I'm writing this post, things have seemed to work out... at least I think they have... so let me recap ... last Sunday Nick and I started to put away the Fall decor... and it became incredibly obvious that before we could do that, we were going to have to clean out at least part of the furnace storage room... and we ended up working several hours on that, resulting in a BIG load of stuff that we took to donate... but it was just the beginning of that process. We were able to put some stuff away and Nick brought up al the Christmas decor. But we were both too tired to get much of it out of the bins.

Monday there were errands to run and the forecast of snow caused us to change the plans to meet friends for breakfast on Tuesday morning , to dinner on Monday evening ... which we did...and we had a very nice time... 

Tuesday the snow came... about 4 inches... Elliott and all the rest of the kids in the area did not have school. His Mom cancelled her appointments and stayed home with him while he played in the snow... Elliott made a snow fort in their front yard. And it was serendipitous that I didn't need to watch Elliott because I felt crappy all day Tuesday. I have this issue where unexpectedly the salivary gland on the right side of my face will get blocked... and it will swell... and it hurts... and the only treatment is warm compresses and sucking on lemon drops and swallowing water and other liquids to make more saliva. These flare ups usually last a day or two and that's how it went this time. In between applying warm compresses to the side of my face I did get all my Christmas decor out... hallelujah!! I definitely worked at my own pace and it took me ALL day to do this... I would arrange a bit or two and then sit back down with a warm compress... and I was super tired all day so a couple of cat naps also happened. 

Wednesday I felt better and after breakfast and a couple of errands I had a renewed sense of purpose in cleaning out the rest of the furnace storage room and the under the stairs storage space and we took another BIG load of stuff to be donated... oh that felt good... you can actually walk into the furnace room without tripping over a bin or having to move one out of your way...very satisfying. In the evening we met Chris and another family member for dinner... it was a full day. 

Thursday I sewed... a lot... I got the binding on this quilt...

This is J. Wecker Frisch's Classic Christmas collection and I'll show you another picture in a bit of it all quilted up and hanging on the back of my sofa.  

I got the binding on this wall hanging, also a J.Wecker Frisch piece...

Love the panto on this one...swirling snowflakes.

                                

I have this displayed on the door going up to Nick's room and I really like how it looks there.

I made two pillowcases and the binding for the Tiny Christmas Giant Lemoyne Star (GLS) quilt ...here's how it looked on my design wall before I took it to Delinda...

 And I went to dinner with a friend. It was another very productive and satisfying day.

Friday got re-arranged numerous times. First I was going to go up to see Delinda to pick up the GLS quilt...but my daughter-in-law's uncle is in the hospital in Lexington with extremely serious heart issues and she wanted to go see him and needed me to get Elliott off of the school bus. So I rescheduled Delinda... but then the plans changed again as her uncle had his second surgery that week and couldn't have visitors... but a babysitter was needed for Friday night as there was a company Christmas dinner that had to be attended. So I watched Elliott and somehow re- re- scheduled a trip up to Springboro to get my GLS from Delinda.  

I also got 2 workout sessions in with Anna but both of them got flipped from the original time as she had unexpected things happen. I felt like I was running a race all this week. So glad to have Sunday with no plans other than to get the binding on the GLS quilt, as next week has something scheduled every single day... not always a big thing to do, but some event where I have to be somewhere at a certain time and some fun stuff like lunch with the girls and watching Elliott so I'll focus on that. 

All the running around and cleaning didn't leave a lot of time or energy for crafty stuff this week outside of the binding projects... have I ever told you that binding the quilt is my least favorite part?  Well it is and it explains why there are always finished quilts sitting in my sewing room waiting to be bound. A deadline like Christmas is motivating and along with the 2 quilts I did this week and the GLS which is due to get bound today,  there is still another Christmas quilt waiting for binding... maybe, just maybe I'll get to it this year. It would be a nice quilt to give my son and DIL... need to find fabric for the binding. 

I did finish a sock...

and I cast on it's mate. I want that big green swath to show up again but I'm not certain it will as I re-wound one ball of the yarn so I'll get a different pattern. I'll be happy however it turns out. 

Oh the yarn Advent calendar is  hitting all the right notes so far... here's what I opened as of December 6.

Now I'll have to wind each little hank into a ball but I'm really liking that they are labeled as to which Opal collection they came from.... so if I want more I could track it down. That is a great detail. 

Another week has passed where I did not put a single stitch in a cross stitch project... sigh...I've been re-thinking my plans for a Blessings Sampler ...saw on IG where several people are doing a patriotic sampler to get a jump on their projects for the 250th birthday of the United States... and I have lots of plans for this celebration ...I have a stack of charts and there are 2 quilts I want to make....sooooo.... it would be good to work on this. I started a patriotic sampler a while ago but only got a little done, so I need to pick it back up... and these are my current choices for the Semiquincentennial or the America250  celebration. 

I'm leaning toward the Scarlett House one as it is a true sampler... that is it has alphabet.... but the other two are very cute! I'll think about this... maybe see what flosses I already have for it. 

As for Christmas decor let me show you a little of what I've done... let's start in the kitchen where a meeting of gingerbread men has convened... I know this isn't  a great picture... I've taken a bunch of pics at different times of the day and either there is too much light coming in that window or not enough...sheesh... anyway they are a good looking group...LOL

The only Christmas decorations I've bought this year were the gingerbread man blow mold on the far left (and I have some harsh words for its construction) and the polka dot gingerbread man, second from the left (he's actually a book holder) and a tiny gingerbread man mug.  So here is the tiny guy... with what I'm calling his parents...

they are tucked inside the chicken wire bottom part of this display. As for the blow mold, he's suppose to light up on a timer... however I have not been able to open the battery area... and a google search revealed that LOTS of people can't get it open. It is secured with 4 teeny tiny itsy bitsy screws ... I have a set of small screwdrivers to repair eyeglasses and even those screwdrivers were too big, and I, and many others, stripped the screws... so I tried prying it open with a bigger screwdriver and so far I've been unsuccessful

in that endeavor. I shall try again later this week. 

Out on the sunroom porch I went with the pink theme again... 

Up top I have the Lizzie Kate Christmas Alphabet and the needlepoint angel I stitched about 40 years ago... where did the years go???

In the middle is Lizzie Kate's Tiny Tidings XXI  and some cute retro looking pink deer... and on the bottom another Christmas Joy by Barbara Ana  and the tree pillow is from Emily Call's Quilted Christmas. 

On the window ledge I corralled a few knickknacks and a little Lizzie Kate piece...

I didn't put out all my Christmas decorations ... again I have an almost full bin of stuff left over... I see another trip to donate more stuff when the time comes to put away the decorations this season... and that is a good thing... trying hard to keep less stuff.

The new addition to the porch was putting these snowflakes all over the windows...

some are sparkly and some are matte white... they are cling plastic and I thought if I went with a snowflake theme I can keep them up all winter. At night I'm turning the inside light on so they are more visible and you can just a barely see one of the white wooden snowflakes I have in the window boxes... hopefully I can get some lights in the window boxes tomorrow as more of the snow from Tuesday has melted. 

Inside I went with the wonky tree quilt on the wall ... I haven't used this one is a couple of years... I made this back in 2017 and it holds the distinction of being the last quilt of a "large" size that I machine quilted myself... I take all my quilts now to Delinda of The T-Shirt Quilt Company... she does a great job every time!. 

and the tier tray has a sleigh of Santas ... I found that "sleigh" is the collective word for a bunch of the red suited guys...LOL... the ones up top are from Prairie Schooler  No. 135 Good Saint Nick  and the Santa piece on the bottom is a freebie from With Thy Needle & Thread called Merry & Mintty... and the little boy hold the train is a tree topper I needlepointed about 39 years ago... I'm feeling really old here...

So here is the J. Wecker Frisch quilt on the back of the sofa...

I love the panto and the lime-y green thread... I think the bells look very 1950's vintagey!

As I finish up this post on Saturday it is quite the gray day... and I'm feeling the need for a nap... doesn't that sound nice?  I know next week is going to get busy again but I'm so happy that I have my decorations out and I've gotten my big storage room cleaning pretty much done... there still is a couple of baskets I have to go through  but I need some more of those big cardboard boxes to put the stuff in to take it to donate. Going to hit Costco again on Monday...that's when they seem to have the most cardboard boxes and you can take them for free. 

Want to get the binding on the GLS before the girls come over on Wednesday... that is a deadline that is entirely doable... want to decide on a Blessing Sampler and pick up a needle and stitch a bit... perhaps the patriotic sampler I already started could fill the gap... and of course I'll work on my sock knitting... when I'm too tired to do much of anything I can still manage a few rounds and the anticipation of how the pattern is going to knit out is good motivation. 

I'll link up with Kathy's Quilts today... I've been seeing some lovely Christmas displays... it makes my heart happy. 

Hope your week ahead is a good one and that we all get something on our to do list accomplished!

happy stitching-
