Floss Friday #94

Hello Everyone! The weather here is San Jose is slightly less sweltering than the last two days. Thank goodness it has at least gotten down to 70 every night. It is very rough when it doesn’t cool down even after the sun has gone down. Next week I will be heading out to Reno for the Reno Quilt Festival and visiting with friends. We haven’t decided whether we are coming home next Friday or Saturday. It is possible I might miss next Friday’s post.

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.

Happy Friday Everyone! We have a gorgeous bluebird day today with predictions of rain tomorrow. Don’t you love Spring? Sunny and warm one minute; cold and rainy the next.

Starts & Finishes

I did not realize until I was checking my stitching calendar that I had one finish and one start.

FINISH: Let’s Talk Spring by Hands on Design

Finished Let’s Talk Spring Framed chart 4/26/2024

Whew! Finding these photos was a chore. A few years ago I didn’t do a good job labelling my photos. I wanted to show how I have finished this Let’s Talk Series when I finished the framed chart in April. I look forward to finishing all of these! I love these colors!

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!

The sun is shining and it is going to be an absolutely beautiful day! I will make sure to enjoy it before the next storm system. I did end up with a brief power outage of like 15 minutes on Wednesday, so not too bad compared to others in this area.

Starts & Finishes

Just one finish this week.

Hi Everyone! We have a few dry moments today between winter storms. We are getting lots of rain which is good. Not sure if it is snow in the mountains because it is a warm rain here. So I am enjoying it. February historically is our coldest and wettest month of the year. Will it be this year?

Ringing in 2024! Woohoo! We made it through another year. Earlier this week I shared my quilty goals. Today I will be sharing my stitchy goals. I am still in planning mode (and loving it).

Starts & Finishes

To ring out 2023, I had a finish and to ring in 2024, I had two starts. Let’s take a look.

Floss Friday #70

Hello from Whistler, British Columbia! We got here a few days ago. The kids have gone skiing even though it is raining here at the base. The temperature is hovering around freezing which hopefully translates to great snow up top. We had homemade pasta with veggies yesterday for dinner.

The kids didn’t ski much yesterday but ended up working on a 1000 piece puzzle which they finished!

Floss Friday #67

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!

Floss Friday #66

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.
