Floss Friday #109

I had a great stitchy week. Worked on mastering Mark R-XP app. I am loving it when everything goes smoothly, but not so much when it doesn’t. LOL. Typical me. I have definitely had fun playing with this app. I was surprised how inspiring it is to know you only have 4 green stitches left or that you are 78% done. Very cool. Let’s take a look at what I worked on this past week and what I hope to work on this coming week.

We are experiencing pleasant late summer early fall weather with temperatures around 80 for the next few days. A welcome reprieve from the 90+ temperatures earlier in the week. I am looking forward to fall. It is truly my favorite season of the year. Nice temperatures, beautiful weather, kids back in school. Just love it.

I have all these fall projects I want to start so I have made a push to try and finish all those projects close to being done.

Today my daughter turned 30! It just seems like yesterday when she came barreling into our life. She has always had a strong independent nature that has thankfully been channelled into a productive lifestyle. Happy Birthday Caitlin. I love you.

Hello Everyone! The weather here is San Jose is slightly less sweltering than the last two days. Thank goodness it has at least gotten down to 70 every night. It is very rough when it doesn’t cool down even after the sun has gone down. Next week I will be heading out to Reno for the Reno Quilt Festival and visiting with friends. We haven’t decided whether we are coming home next Friday or Saturday. It is possible I might miss next Friday’s post.

Wishing everyone a fantastic Memorial Day Weekend. Enjoy the long weekend!

It’s been a productive week being home. Worked on non creative stuff this week that need to happen which is always good. Now on to the fun stuff.

Starts & Finishes

Just one new finish this week

Floss Friday #88

Happy Friday! After a blazing hot weekend, starting Tuesday we went from 80F to 65F. They are saying it should be a dry weekend though. I had heard on the news that we have not had back to back dry weekends since October. That seems so crazy when just a couple of years ago we were in a severe drought. I am thankful that this winter was wet but we were not drowned. Love living in Northern California.

Now to jump into sharing this last week’s stitchy projects I worked on.

Starts & Finishes

I didn’t have any new starts this week but I did have two new finishes.

Floss Friday #82

Hello from Irvine in Southern California. We are here this weekend for States Hockey Tournament. Sadly we lost our first game. We have another tonight. 🤞

Yesterday was spent driving from Nor Cal to So Cal. I also stopped and visited one of my study group member’s from my Immersion group. Had a blast visiting her store – Phoebe Peacock. It is a combination of vintage, scent bar, tea, and spa. Loved it!

Starts & Finishes

I had one start & one finish for the week although the finish isn’t a real finish, it’s this month’s stitches.
