Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Hello from Steaming Pacific Northwest. We are having another mini heat wave here with it supposed to reach 102F (39C). Lucky for us it is only for a couple of days with over 100, then it cools off for the rest of the week in the 90s. Oh yea!
I have continued to diligently work my active wips for the month. Let me share my progress with you.
I have no new starts this week but one finish.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #151”Hello everyone! Hard to believe the kiddos are headed back to school. Summer went way too fast. Plus it is just sad to think that we end summer in August now. I like it better when school started in September. There just seemed to be more …. Summer.
The plan is to linkup with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt again this week for To Do Tuesday. Jump over and check out the projects.
Hello from the Pacific Northwest. After weeks of heat, we finally have a storm coming in. While it will cool things down a little, we will still have plenty of humidity to keep us toasty. I am definitely looking forward to it! I am ready to share what I worked on this week with you. I hope you enjoy!
I only have one start this week and no finishes. But I did kit up one of my starts for next week. I am even considering having a “Start” Day just to work through my remaining starts. Let’s take a look at this week’s start.
Hello from Vancouver, Washington where it is freaking hot today! I didn’t move to the Pacific Northwest to be roasted to death. It has been over 98F for several days and I am looking forward to the predicted rain that should be here by Thursday. I would never have guessed I would be looking forward to rain 🌧️
With my studio on the second floor, it has been unbearable to be upstairs for extended periods of time in the sewing studio. I managed to work on a few blocks as well as start unpacking my fabric boxes. I have already unpacked 10 boxes. For someone who doesn’t like green, I sure have a lot. I am guessing it is becauses every collection comes with green and I tend to not use it. LOL! I elected to focus on sorting fabrics by color in the new studio and that is where I am at for now.
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #152”Hello my stitchy friends! I am so enjoying the summer day we are having after a couple of days of rain. We have beautiful blue cloudless skies. It is just gorgeous here in the PNW. The weekend forecast is for the mid 90s in the next few days. Let’s take a look at my eye candy this week.
I did get one this week!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #149”Welcome to the first week of August! It has been a good week. the weather has been awesome – sunny and warm (but not too warm). It might even rain tomorrow – maybe. Loving it here!
I plan to link up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt again this week for To Do Tuesday. Thanks Carol for hosting. Check out all the great projects!
Welcome back my stitchy friends. Wow! It is now August. The summer is just zooming by. It is hard to believe that I have been in my new home four months. In some ways it feels like I have been here forever (because I am loving every moment) and in others it feels like I just go here (tons of boxes to unpack still).
I am slowly getting things together and have developed a pretty good daily routine which includes regular stitching. Meet most of my July goals so let’s take a look!
I meet both my goals for July which makes me super happy. Since I moved it has been quite the struggle to meet these goals. Slowly but surely things are coming together.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #148”Welcome Back! We are now in the last week of July. Overall it has been hot here in the Pacific Northwest but not over the top except for a few days. I am definitely enjoying the gorgeous summer here in Washington. I am loving it!
I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt again this week. Jump over and check out all the cool projects. Get some inspiration.
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #150”Where did the week go?! It has been a busy and hot week here in Vancouver, Washington. Worked on quite a few projects this week and attended a Virtual Cross Stitch Retreat (my first).
I ended up having three finishes and one start this week. One of my finishes were unexpected and one start was unplanned but who can resist a new start?
Continue reading “Floss Friday #147”Hello Everyone! Hope July is relaxing. It has been a hot one here in Washington State this July but not as bad as last year. We are catching a few more hot days this week before dropping back down in the 70s (Yipee).
Since heat rises, the sewing room gets a little toasty even with the AC running full blast. Luckily I only have to worry about that a few times a year. The plan is to link up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday again this week. Some of the ladies have so very cool projects. Come check it out!
