Tiny Needle Tuesday

 I am still trying to find a rhythm to blogging. A set schedule of posts may never happen for me. I sit to write and find my thoughts all a jumbled mess. I then overthink my photos or lack of photos. If you want pictures of our cat I have a crazy amount of those to share. She is adorable and more than a little bossy. 

This is Avi.  She rules the house. 

 

My 2025 cross stitch project was a bust. I could never decide exactly what I wanted to stitch. I’ve since been bouncing around on different projects. The one that is currently holding my attention is a fairy cross stitch.  I’m to the backstitching. I know backstitching isn’t always a favorite thing for some but it’s never bothered me too much. 

Sorry about the poor position of the photo. I could not get it to rotate correctly. 

I’m trying to decide if I should redo the stitching around her hand. The one looks a little large. It was late when I was working on her.  All I could think was that my fairy had man hands. I knew I needed a break.

Maybe the hand isn’t too large?  I may just leave it because we all can’t have dainty little hands.  She needs a face more than a smaller hand.

Best Laid Plans

 I was going to start a stitch a motif a day cross stitch project. I saw CrossCanvasCrafts doing this on YouTube.  It looked like such a fun project. She announced she would be doing it again for 2025. I was all set to participate. You sign up and each week she emails you the patterns. The first email arrived and I didn’t really like the style of this year’s motifs. I know her project will look amazing but it’s not what I want to stitch. I’m considering doing my own. Yes, I know it’s January 7th. I’m still overthinking exactly what and how I want to do for this. I did get a small start last night. 

One thing for certain is there will be plenty of cat hair included. 

I’m going to keep working on this. I like the idea of a daily project.

January 1, 2025

 Happy 2025!

No resolutions for me but I do have some plans and projects ready to go for 2025.  Starting this blog today was one of my goals. I didn’t put much thought into pictures or what I would say with this post. I knew if I didn’t put something down I never would. I hope you will come back to see what crafty things I get up to and maybe next time it will be better planned.
