Floss Friday #28

Happy Holidays Everyone! Christmas is just two short days away and I finally got my Christmas tree up. I am so behind on all things Christmas. Tomorrow I am hosting Christmas Eve dinner. We went from 2 people to 6!! It looks like I will be headed to the grocery store tomorrow. I wish all of you a stress free holiday!

Welcome to another Friday where we look at all things stitchy – cross stitch anyways. I have been diligently working on my upcoming finishing class project and have my fingers crossed that I will actually finished in time. I had hoped to have both sheets of perforated paper stitched. Close, but not close enough.

Welcome to another Friday update on all things cross stitch in my life. Last time I also threw in some vacation photos. I hope you all enjoyed them. Retirement for me was not a planned event so the transition has been a tough one for this past three years. Although, I was not 100% retired until last October. I am not sure if Covid helped or hindered my transition but it surely screwed with my health. On the other hand, it was when I stepped back in the world of cross stitch after 35 years. Today’s world is very different from the cross stitch I knew in college.

Hello Stitchy friends!

I’ve been off have been off having adventures and time got away from me. I can’t believe it has been a month since my last post. I will try and keep this short which shouldn’t be too bad since I can’t remember how I was feeling when I was stitching most of this any way. LOL!

Hello Fellow Stitchers!

Can you believe it is Friday already?! The week went so fast. So let’s jump right into what I worked on this week.

Floss Friday #4

How quick the week went! I didn’t make it through everything I wanted to work on this week but I do love all that I did finish.

Floss Friday #3

Yesterday was actually a quilt day and this is really posting on Friday because I didn’t have time yesterday to type this up and Thursday was spent prepping for a productive Friday.

Just spent a few bucks on some new patterns that came out at market and I am very excited to be getting them. Meanwhile this last week I focused on meeting a few of my goals and my stitch time was limited so I didn’t get as far as I hoped.

Floss Fridays #2

Welcome back to our second cross stitch post under the new title Floss Fridays. I hope you enjoy the projects I am currently working on!

Oracle 2022 Stitch-a-Long (by Oracle Tale)

I wanted to finish 3 releases in March. I am currently on track after finishing release number 2. I love the seahorse! I am still using DMC 4030 and 156 on 16 ct black aida

It hit me like a ton of bricks this afternoon what to call this weekly blog for my cross stitch projects. While I meant to post last week, it seems that I needed to wait until this week for this creative inspiration. So instead of just one week’s worth of projects you will be getting two weeks this time which will make this post still a bit long. Although I did work on a few projects multiple days.

Cross Stitch Diary: February 2022

Still in catch up mode. This week we will take a sneak peek at my February projects so far. I participated in an instagram #stitchthewinterolympics which was fun if a little limiting. But sometimes you just have to change it up. That means a few projects I had intended on working on for the month have not even been started. With less than week left in February, I do want to get started on those projects. I will share next week with all of you.
