Good Heavens, I had promised myself I would try to finish up some of the UFOs I had floating around here, but I was sorting through some stuff and found some things I had kitted up. The first one was Santa Claus is Coming to Town...which was a free SAL offered last year. I attended a retreat last November and was encouraged by my tablemates to kit this one up. It's been sitting there starting at me since November...haha. The pattern is in 4 parts, and when I finished the first part I decided I needed a change of scenery....here is where I left off from Santa...
This is another pattern I had picked up after Market last year. This is called Milady's Posies by Jan Hicks Creates. This one just spoke to me and while I had the pattern, the fabric, I I didn't have the floss suggested. It had DMC but I really wanted to use silks. Oh well, I decided to kit it from stuff in my stash, so DMC it is! I started in the middle then worked my way over to the alphabet. (In case you didn't know, I detest letters...I don't know why but I do...LOL) It's stitched on 40 count Latte by Fiber on a Whim. This one is soooo hard to put down, but I'm beginning to think the stitch count was off (I'll have to check). I think it might be 46 count. It's a challenge when there is a lot of stitching in a small area. But I'll continue on after the lettering is done....that middle part is so pretty!!
The frame I'm using is kind of heavy so it's bothering my wrist. I may have to put it aside and work on something smaller. So...watch this space, I feel another attack of Startitis coming on. Happy Stitching!

Both your new starts are looking good, DJ. I actually like stitching letters. Happy Sunday!
Milady's Posies is going to be beautiful. I'm not sure I will buy the chart as I prefer using 32 count evenweave when I have stuff framed and it will end up too big. I did notice that there was an error in the chart, the pomegranates are charted for Ecru, when they should be 3777, but I'm sure you would have picked that up. Look forward to seeing progress.
I feel the startitis coming on! I hate it when kitted projects lie there staring at you! Right now, it's my WIPs doing that. Both pieces are gorgeous 🥰 have fun with them.
