To Do Tuesday #129

Welcome to this week’s edition of all things quilty! Not a bad week with all the distractions of life in full force. LOL!

I will be linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come join us.

It feels like only yesterday that I was sharing what I have been up to this week on all my Cross Stitch projects. In reality, it has been a week! Whoa! What a busy week it has been. We are having unseasonably warm sunny weather here in Northern California. I am enjoying it while I can.

January Goals

I thought I would recap my monthly cross stitch start and finish goals here. I normally try to keep this number down, but January got out of control. 🐿️🤪

Wow! Sorry about the late post. It is actually Thursday I am working on this while backdating to Tuesday. It has been a crazy busy week with lots of appointments as well a Quilt Zoom Day on Monday.

I will be linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday linky party. Check it out.

Floss Friday #125

Hope all my stitchy friends are safe and sound from the winter storms and the wildfires. Crazy winter we are having. Everyone is safe and sound here in San Jose, California. Today feels like a spring day with the temperature at 67F. I am enjoying it while I can.

It’s been a great stitchy week and I am looking forward to sharing my progress with you. Still need to kit up my planned starts but otherwise, everything is great.

Goodbye 2024! Welcome 2025! A new year with overly ambitious plans as usual. We are off to a slow start but I did put together plans for January. I have not really thought about what I would like to accomplish in 2025 other than quilt & bind 12 quilts. I want to turn those quilt tops into finished quilts.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday link up. Thank you Carol for hosting.

I am exhausted from working on the Cross Stitch WIP parade. It sure felt real good. I didn’t have any new FFO for Cross Stitch in 2024 so that will definitely be a goal for 2025.

Meanwhile, let’s take a look at what I worked on this week.

2024 WIP Parade

I am taking a moment to make this special post for all my cross stitch WIPs at December 31, 2024. While I would love to do this with my quilty projects, with over a 100 WIPs that is just not possible for this year anyway. Maybe next year.

January 2024 I started with 17 WIPs. I had the following starts:

To Do Tuesday #126

Wow! This will be my last post of 2024. It has been an eventful year with lots of projects and even some finishes. Check out my 2024 Finish page here. While I have not achieved everything I set my eyes on, I am pleased with how much really got done. This weekly post helps keep me on track and accountable to myself by putting it out there. So let’s take a look at what I worked on this week.

Hope Everyone had an awesome Christmas Holiday (and any other holiday you celebrate at this time of year.)

December 26th was a very rainy day to contrast with today where we have sunshine. The joy of being in California!

I seem to still being have some focus issues this week. I have been reading a whole bunch and being distracted from stitching or quilting. 📚 All is good, I am planning a New Year’s Stitch-A-Thon to work on any WIPS that are on my goals list but might have been slighted during the month of December. 🧑‍🎄

To Do Tuesday #125

Happy Holidays to everyone! 2024 is quickly closing on us with just a week left. Been a quite week but had a lot of appointments. I never quite got into my sewing mojo this past week but I did the 15 minutes a day to help me over the hump.
