Temperature Patterns 2022-2024
It looks like I've been forgetting to post these to Dreamwidth, so I have 3 years' worth.

Cross Stitched Garden Fairies
I'm back with another set of recently completed projects. The magazine the charts were in called them Folk Art Angels, but to me they didn't seem like either, so I've been calling them Garden Fairies.
Link to the post on my journal (It's simpler than posting the pics again).

Some of my recent cross stitch projects
First time posting here, so I'm sharing links to some of my recent projects over on my journal instead of posting direct. There are quite a few photos.
Owls
Tropical flowers
Vases of flowers
They'll all get used for greeting cards at some point. A few already have been.

Teresa Wentzler is taking her site down
Hi All,
Just thought I'd post here in case you haven't seen the news: Teresa Wentzler is taking her blogs and her site down. It's the end of an era, and it's a little bit sad. I love her designs.
Some of her patterns are still available at Patterns Online, although she did remove her dragons from the internet in 2018.
If you want to grab any of the errata or floss lists from there, I'd suggest grabbing them in the next ~week. She says she's taking it down on the 14th of August.
She's got some free designs up here: http://www.twdesignworks.com/Free/
In addition to those, when she took her dragons off the internet, she removed them from the index page listing but didn't remove the actual webpages so here are four free dragons
Dragon Rampant (actually Dragon Saliant, but not everyone is a heraldry nerd)
Futurecast
Stretch
and Tempest
Get them before they're gone!

I am on a roll with finishing stuff this year.
The pattern is by Shingorengeki on DeviantArt, aka NeedleMinderLair on Etsy (although the current version of this pattern on Etsy is different--I bought this one from her directly in 2014). The fabric is standard 20 ct. Lugana.

Temperature Map 2020 and 2021
I just realized I never posted these here, and after someone specifically asked me to do both the highs and lows, too.
( Pics behind cut )
The quilt pattern for 2020 has the highs and lows; the tree pattern for 2021 has just the highs. Both patterns are by StitchinMommy on Etsy.

Cryptid Stitchalong
The pattern is by The Witchy Stitcher. The fabric is 18 ct. aida in the color Colonial Parchment from Fabrics by Stephanie. It's a little more brown than it looks in the photo.
This is both the largest thing I've ever stitched and the first SAL I've ever finished (I have 2 more in craft prison I should get back to).

Projects of 2020
I'm finally getting together a post of the kits I completed in 2020. I apologise for the very ratty final photos. I don't work with hoops, tend to just take a phone photo at the end (usually at night) and then put the finished product in a cabinet without ironing it, and start the new project immediately.
I fell in love with Owl Forest kits in 2020, and have pretty much formally declared my love for all Russian kits in the process, lol.
Three Dragons (Owl Forest Kit)
( More photos and more kits underneath the cut. )

So I have made some things!
Since last I dropped in here.
I'm sticking the whole thing behind a cut, because there are, um, five projects in here?
( a pile of projects )

Ghost Town
This was a kit from the Mill Hill Buttons & Beads Autumn Series. I did not get it done in time for Halloween. I didn’t even get it done in time for New Year’s.
Most of the beads don’t show up very well, but there are a lot of shiny, shiny beads in this. The ghosts are outlined in glow-in-the-dark thread. And I decided to go with a plum frame over the recommended purple iris.

Temperature Map 2019
I spent 2019 stitching the local weather. Each block represents the high temperature for that day and each color represents a five degree span.
Highs for December ranged from 24°F on December 10 to 62°F on December 26. Highs for 2019 ranged from -11°F on January 30 to 95°F on July 20. (Stats for 2018 can be found here.)
And that’s that for this piece of plastic canvas. This year I plan to do the highs and lows, and I also need to squeeze in an extra day for leap year, so I’ll be using the same colors with a different pattern.

Weekly WIPs
I've made some progress on a couple of personal projects, and a commission this week. Very slow going on all of it, but hopefully things will turn around.

Gryffindor Crest
Pattern by The World in Stitches.
This was a retirement gift for a friend I've been coworkers with for 22 years. She's a huge Harry Potter fan. It was really fun to stitch, too. I loved the colors.
