To Do Tuesday #51

Welcome back to this week’s edition of To Do Tuesday hosted by Carol @ Quilt Schmilt.

Whew! It’s been two weeks since I last checked in with everyone. A week of that was me off spending money in Reno on more quilting projects and supplies that I had not planned on buying! I went with my enabling buddies Mary Elizabeth, Toni, and Teri. We had a great time, shopped, ate, drank, and talked so much about everything under the sun. I am sure we solved all the world’s problems. LOL!

Obviously, I did take a project along and only actually worked on it the first night we were in Reno. I simply was too tired the other nights after being on my feet for hours. After getting home, I just sat in my chair and stared into space for a day or two. So not only did I not stitch much while on the road, I didn’t stitch much when I got back either. Despite all that I still managed to get stuff done. I have no idea how.

To Do Tuesday #50

Hello my friends! How time has flown since we last chatted. Last week was spent in Garderville and Reno, Nevada with my quilty friends Mary Elizabeth, Toni, and Teri. We had a great time shopping, eating, and just spending time together. We spent a day at the Reno Quilt Festival which was fun. The show was bigger than I expected and I spent way more money than planned. Saw lots of new vendors and some gorgeous quilts.

Floss Friday #46

Welcome to another Friday. For June the weather is a bit cool here in San Jose, California but I will take it. Typically we get a heat wave sometime close to the Fourth of July. This week my AC unit stopped working and with the contractors at my house still working on the shower, I haven’t called a repair HVAC guy. If it is not one thing, it is another when you own a home. LOL!

To Do Tuesday #49

How quickly time flies. This week felt like it was super long. Not sure if that is because I was productive or that my life feels in chaos with the contractors in and out on an unknown schedule. They are finally back today after finishing the preliminary work on the shower. Wednesday they are scheduled to start retiling the shower! Yea! Sharing a bathroom with a 15 year old teenage boy is not fun. Habits are … well let’s just say, I am use to cleaner sinks, etc.

Floss Friday #45

Happy Friday everyone! It is a crazy thought that we are already in June. Update on the water leak. The subflooring of the shore was a sponge so they tore that out as well. As of 9:30 last night, the new shower floor and pan have been built and waterproofed. Now I have to wait at least 24 hours before they move forward. So since it is Friday, I probably won’t see anyone until Monday. I hate living in limbo but am very happy that the project is moving forward. I hope that next Friday everything will be done.

Now for some stitchy talk. I missed a project last week so we will show it this week in the WIP update section. Overall May was a good month. I started six new projects and finished five projects. Because of the house full of contractors, I do not have my paper cross stitch journal so not sure where I stand on Ending WIPS. I will touch base next week hopefully.

Hell0 my quilty friends! I meant to post last week but time got away from me. This week I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for this week’s To Do Tuesday linky party.

Floss Friday #44

It has been a pretty productive week. I have spent some time organizing all of my kitted projects that still need to be started. It turns out I have a lot of those. LOL! I finally made a list just so I know. Over the past three years I have been a part of quite a few stitch clubs which came completely kitted. It feels good to KNOW what those are.

Floss Friday #43

This week according to plan in regards to my cross stitch. After all the other detours in my life, it was so nice to have this go so smoothly.

Starts & Finishes

No new starts this week. One finish.
