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!

I had an unexpected turn this week on one of my 2020 Christmas projects. All will be revealed below. Meanwhile, I am enjoying all the stitchy fun of the holiday season. Fall and Winter are my favorite time to stitch!

Floss Friday #26

Things have gone very well this past week. I am trying to make sure I touch all of my active WIPS this month. I use to rotate through the WIPS but I found that it was taking forever to finish projects, but I made progress on everything. The month of December I am attempting a hybrid approach. I plan on making sure I work on everything this month, but continuing to work daily on things that close to being finished. Only time will tell if this is going to work.

Floss Friday #23

It’s been a typical week. We’ve had lots of hockey practice and running around like chicken’s with our heads cut off but I still managed to have some time to stitch. I’ve even checked off almost everything on my list this week. Only thing left was a Final Finish….

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.

Floss Friday #19

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.

Floss Friday #18

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.
