STITCHING WITH IRIS

 I finished the next Thread Milk Statehood Splendor Series the other day.  I think I need to get into my stitching finish box and start some fully finishing.  I also finished Forbidden Fiber Co. It's Tea Time but I haven't taken a picture of that yet.  I dis start to fully finish it but didn't get to far.  I need to get back to it.  Hopefully soon.

I was going to order Washington the other day, but they are away for Nashville Market and the last time I ordered a PDF when they were away, I had all sorts of problems and had to e-mail them when they got back.  I am in no hurry to start the next one so I will wait until next week.  I only have 5 more to finish, Ohio, Indiana, Washington, Oregon, and California. 

I have started 3 more projects, Prairie Schooler March Daffodils, Prairie Schooler 2023 Santa and All Things Spring by Erin Elizabeth Designs from the Spring 2024 Just Cross Stitch magazine.   Since tomorrow is March 1st, I will be starting a March Christmas ornament.  I think this will be the last Prairie Schooler Merry Mini Suprise Santa that I have to stitch.  I'll be glad to stitch something other than Santa Claus as my monthly ornament.

 I've been stitching a lot of smalls so far this year.  I have finished Stitching #9 & 10.

When I finished Virginia yesterday, I started North Carolina.  I will have to order Ohio and Indiana when I get close to finishing NC.  I want to finish Tea Time and start Prairie Schooler March before I get back to NC.

It has been snowing here all morning.  It is so pretty outside but the snow is heavy and is going to be hard for B to shovel.  

 This is February's Christmas ornament start and finish.  It is also the 7th stitching finish of the year.
