Witchy Stitchy 2021

is a stitching challenge run by Donnett at Embroidery Central to encourage stitchers to put in 30 minutes a day. For those who play on Facebook, it is post a before and after every day. For those of us not – well, she is will to accept emails. Four days can be missed in the month, but the 31st is mandatory.

I participated in 2019 and again in 2020. My reward was a needle minder each time. Simple enough, but appreciated. 

This year I decided to use one of my Halloween Stitch-a-longs since I was going to be doing a section every day (anyway). Well, sort of everyday, since it actually started last month so that we might actually have a finished piece by Halloween. 

This was my “before” picture this morning

starting point 1 Oct

with the next entry being “Slenderman” who I don’t have a clue about (perhaps he is a Dutch thing?). 

and my ending point with “Slenderman”

 

but in any case – I am planning on not missing any days this month!

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
