Happy Friday! It is a relief to have tax day behind us here in the US. Of course, being retired my return is pretty straight forward but it is still a pain in the ###. I would much rather think about all the fun things I could be doing instead! So let’s talk cross stitch today on this gorgeous spring day in San Jose.

Starts & Finishes

I worked on one of my WIPGO projects this week – Year of Celebration Season 2 with one finish and one start as well as one other new start.

Hi Everyone! It has been a crazy week like usual. I keep waiting for a boring week and it just never comes. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Who knows. It is just life. I really wouldn’t change a thing!

As you all know, I was in Seattle last weekend. I got to see my brother Scott. We were trying to pinpoint the last time we SAW each other and we think it was the summer of 2022. Meanwhile, we do talk often as well as having several group chats with different members of the family. I just love how connected we stay. Oh and he is great at enabling me with my interests. He was fascinated with my current class – Immersion 2024 which is a surface pattern design class using Adobe Illustrator.

Let’s take a look at all my stitchy projects from this week.

Hello Everyone! Friday was a travel day and while I meant to write this post on Thursday, it is now Saturday. LOL! I am in Seattle. I had dinner with my daughter last night and breakfast with my brother this morning. Now I am hanging out at the local Starbucks writing this post. It is only drizzling but the weather makes me want to curl up in front of a fire and read. LOL!

Floss Friday #83

Welcome to this week’s edition of Floss Friday where I share my cross stitch projects. Before we get started I just wanted to share:

It’s been another busy week. Last weekend was a rollercoaster emotionally. I don’t know if you remember, but I went to Irvine, CA for California Hockey States for my grandson Shaun. The boys lost their first two games by one goal and were so heart broken. As playoffs can be, the unexpected happened. All six teams had lost at least one game on Friday so we were still in the running. I did the math and if we won by a large margin on Saturday morning we could make the semis. They did!!!! They even won the Semis!!!! Sunday morning found us playing in the 16UAA Championship game. It was tied for the first two periods 1-1. With 10 minutes left, the wheels fell off the bus. Shaun went to the penalty box and the other team scored. Another penalty and the other team was up 3-1. The boys were devastated but kept at it. We pulled our goalie and the other team scored 2 empty net goals. Despite the 5-1 final score, the game was super close and I am very proud of my grandson Shaun and his team. What an accomplishment to finish the season 2nd out of 30+ teams. Great job boys.
