Springy Finishes!

Two finishes since my last post..

Spring Bunny, a kit from World of Cross Stitch:




Welcome Spring, a kit from Cross Stitch Crazy:



I finished my first swan on Birds of a Feather and just realized these are dragons, haha!  I like dragons so it's fine but I can't believe I bought the pattern and got this far thinking these were swans. At least I can always count on me for a good laugh!


I started the grass on Spring Band Sampler by Tiny Modernist:




...and I got more of the outlining done on Aliens:


Auntie couldn't name me but she knew she knew me and kept saying how happy she was to see me so we'll call that a win.

Two finishes and a Sweetheart!

 I'll start with the sweetheart - Jo at Serendipitous Stitching is hosting a Valentine's blog hop. We all sent her a picture of finish for Valentine's, and she assigned it to someone else's blog, so now we have to hunt it down and figure out who our secret sweetheart is.  This is the valentine I received, I haven't found who it's from yet:


I'm hunting for the one I sent!  This was a design from Tiny Modernist called "Elements of Love".  I was a science teacher before I became a pastry cook, so I have a lot of science-y designs in my life:




My two finishes:

"Harvest Sampler" (just in time for Thanksgiving, haha)
Just Cross Stitch December 2020
stitched on Oatmeal Aida with threads from a kit (one of those big plastic envelopes glued to a magazine that says you can make 25 cards or something and it has a bunch of threads and ribbons and felt in it)
The colors aren't as charted because the threads weren't any brand, they just looked autumnal and I wanted to use them.


"Fruity Gift Tags" from The World of Cross Stitching, it was from 2022 but it doesn't say the month.  This was a kit that came with the magazine. I'm supposed to cut it up and make little gift tags with it, but I kind of like how they look together; once I'm done stitching I lose interest anyway so they may stay together as one fruitastic team:


I still have my dream of finishing a WIP every 11 days, and this puts me exactly on track right now - 4 finishes in 44 days,  Now I have to find something I think I can finish by the 24th!
