A finish and some progress

 I have a finish.  Saturday and Sunday I spent several hours stitching on Joyful Summer by Country Cottage Needleworks.  I was so close to a finish and decided to to stitch on it until it was finished.  I don't like stitching on 3 projects at a time, so I just wanted to get this one off my plate.  I also worked on Lizzie Kate's 6 Snow Belles and Sherlock Holmes.  I have a pictures of the Belles but not Sherlock.  I'll take one later today or tomorrow.

Designer:  Country Cottage Needleworks

I think I will take this to Michaels for framing when they have a sale.

Progress on Lizzie Kate's 6 Snow Belles

 Finished the 2nd Belle yesterday afternoon.  I made a mistake and used the wrong color on the border of Baby It's Cold Outside but I'm not changing it.  The next section I am going to stitch is the added section of trees and snowflakes in the middle.  I love stitching on this fabric.

Last Weeks Stitching

 I worked on Sherlock Holmes most nights from 7:30 to at least 9:00.  I worked on Joyful Summer Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  Worked on 6 Belles Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  On Saturday, April 1st I started April's Christmas ornament which is MTV Designs Noel from the 2022 Just Cross Stitch Christmas issue.  I'll post a picture when it is finished.  I will work on the ornament in the afternoons until it is finished.  Won't take long, hopefully by the end of the week.

I made a mistake using the wrong color in the
border but I'm going to leave it.  I like the red
better than the gold color called for.
