IHSW--April 2021
IHSW or International Hermit and Stitch Weekend always starts on the third Friday of the month. It's a chance to lock yourself away and focus on your stitching for the weekend. You can take part on your blog or via the Facebook page - IHSW on Facebook.
But as I work weekends, my stitching is confined to the evenings. I started off with "Simplicity Vintage"
It's difficult to tell in this picture but those are not all the same color stitches. There are blue stitches and then there are blended stitches which are made from using two different color threads in the needle, in this case the same blue with a dark gray.
Next I worked on "Letters From Hogwarts" which is a SYOA--Stitch Your Own Adventure. It has a story written that as you read it you choose which path to follow and it gives you different items to include in your pattern. I'm so far behind as many people have already completed their stitching of it. But I'm following the Slytherin path in anticipation of gifting it to my favorite daughter.
On Saturday I worked on my HAED SK Maleficent. She's been neglected since I messed up the 100 day challenge back in February when we had the winter storm and lost power. But she's slowly progressing.
Saturday I had an outing with some wait time so I did a little stitching in the wild on the Plague Doctor. He's on 14 count Aida so I can see this without my magnifying lamp, LOL!! This makes for the perfect on the go WIP that I always carry.
Finally on Sunday I stitched on our first president, George Washington. Although, after I took the picture I thought it might be Beethoven!! We'll see how he turns out, I might have to rename him!!
That's a wrap on IHSW for April. I look forward to seeing what May brings!! Feel free to leave a comment or a link to your blog post below. Until next month...Be Well!!

2021 Time to begin again
So here we are, nearing the end of February 2021. We are approaching the one year mark since the first restrictions were occurring in the U.S.
It's been an interesting and most likely unforgettable year. Throughout it all, I have continued to cross stitch. Some weeks and months I had more time, some days I had no inclination at all.
The following is a list of the statistics for my stitching in 2020:
Started January 1, 2020 with 19 WIPs from previous years
January = 3,873 stitches x4 new starts x1 finish--Winter Wonderland
February = 5,004 stitches x4 new starts x1 finish--Moon Over Blackbird
May = 10,356 stitches x5 new starts x1 finish--Festive Penguin
June = 7,643 stitches x6 new starts x4 finishes--Pride Flags, Little Spider, New Year Fairy, House
July = 7,813 stitches x2 new starts x2 finishes--HAED Fatal Attraction, Je Suis Prest
August = 13,255 stitches x4 new starts x0 finishes
September = 12,488 stitches x2 new starts x1 finish -- Rapunzel bookmark
November = 11,447 stitches x5 new starts x1 finish--Vintage Witch
As of December 31, 2020:
