February Stitch From Stash and Pie

Last day of the month and Time for Pie!



I think this is becoming a familiar story already, with 14 days on one project - Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow.  Here's where I started the month:


I finished Block 2:


And got this far on Block 3

stitched over 1 on 25 count Cassia Rose from Chromatic Alchemy

I will continue with this block in February and then start Block 4 next to it.  So far the number of days is:

Block 7 - 13 days
Block 6 - 16 days
Block 2 - 19 days
Block 3 - 9 days and counting


For my CCN Main Street conversion I moved on to a new shop.  This was originally the Post Office and now is the Owl Post Office!  I decided to keep the two mail boxes outside the shop and turn them into owl perches.  I added a golden owl sign to the bracket and two more owls in the window.

stitched on 32 count Charcoal Slate Murano from Sparklies


The original shop was lemon yellow and blue which I changed to yellow ochre and darker shades of the same blue family.


The owls came from a mixture of places, two from Brenda Keyes, one I charted myself and two from Owl Forest Embroidery.  I had to stitch them over one to fit the details in.



This is what the original shop looked like:


And here is the whole piece so far:



The Tiny Modernist 3D Greenhouse and Just Nan's Lily Pond were both lunchtime projects on the days I worked.



I have decided to log my bath-time stitching this year.

This should look similar in March as I will stitch Day 3 of the 12 Days until I complete it and then return to my 3D Greenhouse.


Finally, Stitch from Stash continues with a big fat zero for the month!

    Oh I like the changes you made a lot better than the original.

    Oh, your owl post office turned out great, Jo! I was wondering if you might be stitching the Dead Letter Office--ha ha :) You are so creative! And what nice progress on the Halloween at HRH piece. Hope you're having a good day ♥

    Wow, HRH is quite a laborous piece, so much time on each block - you are making great progress, though!
    The Owl Post Office is amazing, I do love your conversion.

    HRH is coming along quickly, and Main Street is looking great. I'm not a fan of houses and shops, but your conversions make them look so much more appealing. :)
