I finished my Cinnamon Stars cross stitch.
The design is from Plum Street Samplers, and I stitched it on 32 count linen (it’s a mystery colour – I bought it from a craft fair), two threads over two threads, using all of the called for colours (a combination of weeks dye works and gentle arts).
I think I am going to make it into a project bag.

This is my year of finishes. I want to finish projects that I have started. Like my Cinnamon Stars project. This is what I work on at home, at my two stitching groups, I have been working on my Gingerbread House. It’s looking a bit ramshackle because I have sewn it altogether yet.
Below is my previous progress photo – I have now finished the top half and just have to work on the bottom left and right.
I think I finally have a set-up that works well. My Lowery frame, magnifier and working at a table.

I have been working on some of my projects.
There will be no new projects until some of these are finished.
So a tiny amount of progress has happened.
I have bought a new hoop stand, this one (the Sonata seat frame)
So far it’s working well, I can attach my clip-on magnifier to my hoop, and everything is solid (not wobbly).

I have returned to my stitching class; every friday I join some lovely ladies and stitch for three hours. It’s the only time in the week that I get to sit for any length of time.
I have plans to make a cloth, memory book; a page for everything that is special to me. I shall attach all my special trims and fabrics. I have bought a lovely hemp/silk fabric to use as the base.
However, that project is still in the planning and collecting resources stage, so I am working on my Cinnamon Stars cross stitch. I find the process very relaxing, almost meditative (I have to concentrate a bit too much for it to be meditative – all that counting).

I have been working on my Cinnamon Stars cross stitch. It’s going quite well, slow but steady progress.

I finished my Halloween Cat cross stitch (from Satsuma Street). I started in June 2018, so that took quite a while to finish!
Next up Cinnamon Stars from Plum Street Samplers.
I have purchased all of the ‘called for’ threads (the weeks dye works and gentle arts ones) and I am using 32 count linen in a grey shade
I bought this fabric at a craft fair and it had no information apart from count and size.
