Floss Friday #29

Well I started this blog 4 hours ago. LOL! I got totally distracted by my sister. Can’t believe we talked for so long. Interesting (as always) about leaving legacy behind for our kids – from a family cookbook, life story, and many other ideas. Which obviously talking about those who have passed and us not getting important information from those loved ones to pass on to the next generation and beyond.

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!

Wow! It’s been a whole month since I last posted. Summer Vacations are so important to replenishing your creative and physical stores so you can carry forward.

Floss Friday #8

It’s been a few busy weeks since we last posted. If you follow my Tuesday blog, then you know that I have been running around and have had visitors. With cross stitch, that means my routine is broken up.

I don’t have a few new starts and new finishes. I have been working on my monthly goals and have made some nice progress on them. Let me share that with you.

Floss Friday #7

Welcome Back! It Friday before Mother’s Day and I feel like the week has not been as productive with my Cross Stitch this week. I am sure that is because I didn’t stitch on something new every day this past week. Let’s see what I did do.

Floss Friday #6

Happy Friday! I am attempting to type while Simba is petting me and the computer. Not only is he distracting, he keeps stepping on the keyboard. He has been very needed today waking me up at 4:30 this morning requesting cuddles. This is not normal behavior for him so not sure what’s up.

Okay. I spent some time petting him and he is settling down for a nap. Keep your fingers crossed!

Floss Friday #5

If you didn’t see my recent post, I had website issues and vacation that kind of put a kink in all my plans. So this will be a catchup post.

I had a mother/daughter weekend in Seattle first weekend this month. We had a spa day and watch NCAA gymnastic at the University of Washington. It is always fun to watch people you know!

The next weekend had us flying off to Kauai, Hawaii with my grandson and his auntie (my daughter) for fun in the sun. I have never been there in April so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Of course since it is spring, it did rain but not too bad. We had lots of relaxation and fun with plenty of good food. Since we were having so much fun, I only worked on one project that week.

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!

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.
