I really enjoyed picking up PW again! The fabric is a gorgeous colour, and I'm really liking the 36 ct. I will definitely (hopefully) be trying more 36 ct soon!

Pattern: Alice's Mad Plant
Designer: Bendy Stitchy Designs (@michellebendy)

Fabric: 30 ct Baby's Breath linen from Weeks Dye Works (@weeksdyeworks)
Floss: DMC & Colour and Cotton (@colourandcotton)


Started on August 22, 2019. Finished on August 23, 2019.

Another fun, quick stitch!! I really enjoyed working on this, especially the vines using the fancy floss. Watching the variegation as I stitched made it go even faster. I definitely will be getting more of Michelle's designs (which so far are all small and look like fun between big projects!).

FO: My To Do List


Pattern: My To Do List
Designer: Lizzie Kate (@lizziekatestitch)

Fabric: 32 ct Light Mocha linen
Floss: DMC conversion

Started on August 16, 2019. Finished on August 22, 2019.

I really enjoyed stitching this project!! It was a great breather in between the more detailed patterns I've been working on lately. I already have plans to stitch this again for my mom, as she requested one soon after I finished haha. I can't wait to have this hanging up.

As far as the "Stab some fabric" addition: I used the lettering you see here in the rest of the pattern. Also, I changed up some of the colours on certain motifs, but all the colours used are the ones that were "called for."

Fabric: 32 ct Thistle from Colour & Cotton 
Floss: DMC (see below)

Started on May 1, 2019. Finished on August 7, 2019.

This is my first every Maynia start!!!! I saw this pattern on an episode of Slubloverstitches flosstube, and I immediately had to stitch it! It's a free pattern that was designed by Twitch users she watched. I absolutely love that it's done in rainbow colours. I didn't stitch the black fill-in because this piece and the sentiment would've looked way darker, which isn't what I wanted. I might give this to one of my best friends, or I might have to be selfish LOL.

Colours used (L to R in pattern): 995, 666, 720, 725, 906, 792, White, 310, 3706.

Two page finishes!! I'm really excited about the progress I made during this four days. I don't want to put this project down, but luckily it's getting another 4 days later in the month. I'm hoping that will bring a third page finish 🤞🏾
