Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
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.
Just one new finish this week
Continue reading “Floss Friday #92”Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. I am headed to Seattle (via train) to spend the weekend with my daughter and her In-Laws who are here from Germany. I decided on potholders as gifts for Jannes’ family, so I am furiously sewing. LOL!
It has been a pretty productive stitching week even though most nights were just a couple of hours. I think it is because I only worked on aida projects this week. I am always faster with aida and of course lower count. But several of my projects were 18 count.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #90”Happy Friday! It is a relief to have tax day behind us here in the US. Of course, being retired my return is pretty straight forward but it is still a pain in the ###. I would much rather think about all the fun things I could be doing instead! So let’s talk cross stitch today on this gorgeous spring day in San Jose.
I worked on one of my WIPGO projects this week – Year of Celebration Season 2 with one finish and one start as well as one other new start.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #87”Hello Everyone! Friday was a travel day and while I meant to write this post on Thursday, it is now Saturday. LOL! I am in Seattle. I had dinner with my daughter last night and breakfast with my brother this morning. Now I am hanging out at the local Starbucks writing this post. It is only drizzling but the weather makes me want to curl up in front of a fire and read. LOL!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #85”Happy Friday everyone! Hope your week has been great. Just checking in to share this weeks stitchy projects. Let’s get started.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #74”How is your January going? We have had a lot of rain here in San Jose, California but today is absolutely beautiful and sunny. Makes me think about going to see the elephant seals at Ano Nuevo. We will see how the next few days play out.
I have spent more time quilting then stitching this week so I don’t have as much to share. Yet, I feel pretty good about what I have gotten done.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #73”Just a few days left in 2023. Can you believe it?! The year has flown by and I am wondering how that happened. Yesterday was a planning day with my sister Dorothy. Ya’ll all know how much I love to plan!
This week has been with my grandson’s hockey tournament. It was nice it was local. They play in the Championship game tomorrow..🤞
Continue reading “Floss Friday #71”Hello All You Crafters! We have another edition of Floss Friday where I share what I have been working on during the past week. Thank you for allowing me to share with you one of my passions.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #69”I had myself a mini marathon this past holiday weekend to work on all the projects I had not worked on. I only meant to work on those for the whole weekend, but couldn’t resist working on my fall projects. I had already put away Fall Harvest (see last week’s blog here to look at) and Autumn Beauties which somehow I haven’t worked on since October.
The good news is that they are the only two WIPs for fall being put on hold and next year I get to start new ones!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #67”Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I am very grateful to have been able to spend the day with my sister Dorothy and her family. I dropped Shaun off at hockey camp. His mom helped the other parents prepare breakfast for the team and their families. It was a bonding moment for them. Then off to the family dinner at his Aunt Diane’s where his dad joined them. He said they had a great time. So happy for them.
