To Do Tuesday #162

Hi Everyone! How is your Christmas season coming along? My tree is up and partially decorated. Found one of two boxes of ornaments. I have put up festive decorations throughout the house. Love walking the neighborhood after dark. Very festive!

I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Check it out.

To Do Tuesday #161

Oops! Had an unexpected trip last week. Left Tuesday for San Jose, California and got back home Sunday night. Accomplished what I needed but not everything I wanted. With the Thanksgiving holiday and the trip, I didn’t get any sewing done until yesterday.

To Do Tuesday #160

Wow! This is the last week of November then we will be in the last month of 2025. The year has certainly been a busy chaotic year. I thought I would be nice and settled in by now. I am close but not there yet. I am already thinking about my 2026 goals. You?

This week I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. I hope you find some time to check out what other quilters and creators are working on. Maybe you might even find some time to join us. Check out the link below:

To Do Tuesday #159

Where did the time go? I can’t believe that another week has gone by. I am trying to think what I have done this week. Doesn’t seem like much. LOL! I ended up getting caught up in reading and probably read 4 books this week instead of hitting the sewing room.

Despite that, I did make it to the sewing room once this week and worked one night on my English paper piecing. I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Check it out!

To Do Tuesday #158

While I did try to hit the studio every day, I only managed to hit it a few days this past week. I was stoked to make it up there as much as I did as were Nala and Simba. They love it when I am in the sewing studio. I am still in the midst of figuring out what got unpacked when my helper was here in October. Honestly, I would rather sew then organize most days so I went with the flow this week.

I will be linking up again this week with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come join us!

To Do Tuesday #157

Wow! I can’t believe I haven’t posted any quilting blogs since September. Honestly, I can’t even remember if I made it to my sewing studio at all in October. I know I meant to do some EPP but it ended up still being packed away with my retreat projects. Oops!

Yes I will be linking up with Carol Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Hopefully she won’t mind that it has been so long.

Floss Friday #148

Welcome back my stitchy friends. Wow! It is now August. The summer is just zooming by. It is hard to believe that I have been in my new home four months. In some ways it feels like I have been here forever (because I am loving every moment) and in others it feels like I just go here (tons of boxes to unpack still).

I am slowly getting things together and have developed a pretty good daily routine which includes regular stitching. Meet most of my July goals so let’s take a look!

July WIPGO Results

I meet both my goals for July which makes me super happy. Since I moved it has been quite the struggle to meet these goals. Slowly but surely things are coming together.

Floss Friday #147

Where did the week go?! It has been a busy and hot week here in Vancouver, Washington. Worked on quite a few projects this week and attended a Virtual Cross Stitch Retreat (my first).

Starts & Finishes

I ended up having three finishes and one start this week. One of my finishes were unexpected and one start was unplanned but who can resist a new start?

Floss Friday #146

Hello Everyone! It is so hard to believe we are halfway through July already. Times seems to be flying by doesn’t it? I hope your summer has been fun and productive at the same time. Remember to take time for yourself.

I am still feeling patriotic this week. While I did not work on both projects, I did make time for one of them. We will be checking that out soon, but first let’s visit new starts and finishes.

Floss Friday #145

Welcome to this week’s edition of all things cross stitch. It was a busy week with the cross stitch. Almost did everything I planned but got a little side tracked when I went all patriotic. 🇺🇸

Let’s take a look at my projects for the week.
