Jolly July 2020

I'm off to a good start on my 2020 Jolly July projects! My goal is to work on the projects I started last year and see what kind of progress I can make.
I'm starting with the ornament club from Crazy Annie's.  And... the first 3 days of July I have 3 finishes! YAY!
I also finished the first part of the Summer House Stitch Workes "Ladies Garden Journal ". This is Sweet William.  July is off to a good start!

Punchneedle fun

I love the Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher magazine!  So many fun projects for punching and stitching. I just got the Summer 2020 issue and had to dive into a project.  It offered a different challenge- punching on wool felt and a quick finishing idea, but the hummingbird is what really got me!  I grabbed floss, fabric and wool felt (which I have to finish another punchy project), and dove right in. Done in 3 days...yes, a miracle for me !
Hummingbird by Jeanne Happe of Two Old Crows. So fun!

May 31 Stitch Maynia

Here we are, the last day of May, so I'm posting the last of my Maynia finishes. I love punchneedle projects, but after the punching is done they end up on "the pile" like the crossstitch pieces. Much as I like finishing things now, I didn't always, so when I was done stitching something it went "on the pile".  After looking at these for a while and wishing they could be displayed,  getting in the finishing mode seemed like a good plan for Maynia. I did one a day for a few days then work/life took over, so i did a few over the weekends and made some really good progress.  I'm really happy to have these done and will be doing more in June. (Yup, lots still to do)
Here is a picture of the last finishes for May. Blue mitten is crossstitch,  the others are punchneedle. Done! YAY!
