Floss Friday #21

Hello Everyone! It’s been a hectic week. I am in Chicago this weekend for my grandson’s hockey, so not a lot of stitching is happening. At least it is not snowing here! I can’t believe it is November already!

Floss Friday #20

This has been a week of procrastination in my life. I set myself a task for the week that is hard for me and now it is being reflected throughout my life. But isn’t that what being human is all about. Overcoming challenges.

If I am honest with myself, it has not been that bad. I am just focusing on what I haven’t done instead of what I have done. So let us switch to what I have done this week.

The week sure went fast with the quilt show last week. I still managed to get some stitching in despite all the chaos.

I don’t have as much to chit chat about this week, but it was definitely great seeing all my quilty friends last week.

I wanted to make sure I shared with all of you the best class I have ever taken (and I take a lot of classes both professionally and hobbywise) What can I say? I love to learn.

A few months back I discovered that Cathy from Hands on Design was doing a class in California. I am a big fan and I desperately needed to learn how to finish that stack of 100 completed stitches. After signing up for the class, I must have watched like 10 of her finishing videos and did do my first final finish which I shared in Floss Friday #16 (a pillow).

Floss Friday #17

It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted as I have been on the road with hockey again. This weekend I will be doing a class with Cathy of Hands on Design and Lois of Ladydot Creates. A matter of fact I am in class now when this is posting. I can’t wait to share next Friday!

Floss Friday #16

Happy Friday everyone! Wow! The week flew by. I don’t have much to show you this week since my focus is getting my pre-stitching done for my upcoming finishing class on October 7th & 8th. Just two weeks away.

Floss Friday #13

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.

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 #10

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.
