Just a super quick post today to share a project I’ve been working on the past two months!
I’ve been very intrigued by the “stitch-a-day” concept and wanted to attempt it myself. My plan is to complement my one little word with a visual diary of daily good things. Examples: seeing a beautiful cardinal, one son’s love of cheeseburgers, Star Wars lightsaber battles, our power returning after 30 hours, etc. It’s been a fun challenge so far!
It is perfectly imperfect, I like some motifs more than others (I completely messed up one of the dogs, but am keeping it for hilarity’s sake) and the spacing is kind-of wonky, but I hope the sum of all the parts will be great in the end. I plan to get it professionally framed and then on the back, glue a tiny list of Good Things that correspond with the different items. A family heirloom!
Details: I am using an 18×27″ piece of this fabric and my stash of DMC thread. I’ve been getting a lot of inspiration on Pinterest and have also designed a few myself using Stitch Fiddle.
What a lovely way to remember your year! I love that you didn’t need to go out and purchase anything new to make something beautiful.
I love that aspect too!
I love it!! So beautiful!
Thank you!
What a cool project! Have a blessed Lent.

I’m really enjoying it so far and hope I can keep it up throughout the year!
So fun! I especially love the dogs
Two dogs to represent their two birthdays – they turned 2 and 6 this year!
