January Wordplay and FOMO Forest Snowfall

Thought I'd jump in here quick with an update, otherwise the Mad Tatter will be all over me.  We do all possible to keep the Mad Tatter happy.  Life can be challenging when she is unhappy! :)

Anyhooo - I had two finished in January.  Can you believe it?  Yes, TWO finishes!

My first finish was January Wordplay from With Thy Needle and Thread.  I'm kind of late to the party, but I have so enjoyed seeing all of your finishes.

Not finished, finished yet, but I plan to mount it somehow in this metal tray that I picked up at Hobby Lobby a few months ago.

Finish #2 is Forest Snowfall from Country Cottage Needleworks. This was a FOMO stitch.  FOMO = Fear of Missing Out.  Everyone was stitching this with Flosstube superstars Priscilla and Chelsea and so I had to stitch it too. 

I had the called for linen in my stash (32ct) and used threads that I had, making only a few modifications.  It was kind of relaxing to stitch on 32 count with two threads for a change.

Now I'm working on a WIP from my stash.  I decided that before I would allow myself to pick up something new I would try to either finish or at lease make significant progress on a WIP.  I chose this one from Heartstring Samplery - Never Let You Go.  I'd be a lot farther along on this one if I hadn't started over in order to change to a different linen (my friends are rolling their eyes now).

I'm stitching it on 40 ct Vintage Country Mocha with the called for threads. (sorry for the wrinkles)

Well Mad Tatter promised we would have a super-sized tatting update pretty soon.  She's been busy tatting ice drops, snowflakes and small doilies and having a grand time doing it!

Have a great Sunday.  We will be watching the Super Bowl from the warmth of our family room.  Hope all of our visitors in Minnesota are dressed appropriately.  Good thing that the game is indoors!
