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

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.

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!
