Floss Friday #129

Welcome Back Everyone! Weather update for Nor Cal – Raining. February is typically our wettest month of the year. It has been known to rain all 28 days of February. While that won’t be the case this year, we are getting enough rain to cause flooding north of San Francisco. I am not sure why anyone ever moves up there, because it happens every rainy season. I am sure it is gorgeous the rest of the year though. Enough about Nor Cal weather and lets check in on my stitchy projects for this past week.

Friday Floss #111

The heat wave that started on Monday peaked on Wednesday but is still with us through the weeked. Welcome Autumn! I expect next week I will be complaining about being cold. 😝 Hopefully you all are enjoying your October. Can you believe it is here already!?

It has been a fairly productive and fun week. Yesterday I received happy mail from 123 Stitch so I spent the afternoon kitting up the next in two series I am working on: Santa’s House (Fabulous House Series) and Winter Baskets (Triple Play Pillows series). I finished so many projects in September that I had a pile of floss that had to inventoried and put away. It sure felt good to complete that task!

Floss Friday #108

How fast this week went. I had a great time in the Redding area. I found a quilt shop and visited Lassen Volcanic National Park. I even got in a 3 mile hike while I was at Lassen.

Floss Friday #100

Whoo Hoo! Hard to believe this is my 100th post of Floss Friday. That translates to 2 years of posting. Just seems like yesterday I started this regular post. The memories….

Let’s take a look at what I worked on this week.

Floss Friday #99

I made it home on Wednesday. What a long day with the heatwave all the way from Vancouver, Washington to San Jose, California. It was 113F from Southern Oregon to Concord. It finally started cooling off once I was coming into San Jose. It was only 95F in San Jose. Yesterday hit 100F again. I am ready for some cooler weather for a few days. Whew! I have been taking walks at midnight because that is when it finally cools off. As far as I know, this has been all up and down the West Coast. Not sure how far east it went.

Floss Friday #97

Welcome to this week’s edition of all things cross stitchy. I spent the last three days attending a virtual conference on my latest hobby of surface pattern design. It was fun but would have been more fun in person. Got some great new ideas and some encouragement that I am headed in the right direction. This surface pattern design journey reminds me of my quilting or cross stitch journey. So much information, so much enthusiasm, a so little courage to go for it. 😂

Moving on to what I worked on this week. I ended up taking last night off but I still worked on a number of projects this past week. Let’s check it out.
