Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
I am happy to be able to work on my cross stitch projects during this time of chaos called MOVING. LOL 😝 I have some things to share with you for this week as things are going very well. Not sure how April will go but March has been pretty darn good! Let’s take a look.
I started my final project for March but haven’t finished anything new. I am close so next week I will share my final finish with you.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #135”Hello Everyone! Sorry about missing last week’s blog. Just had a bad week so this week will be a lot since I did stitch everyday this past two weeks. LOL! 😝 Still working on the move which will be the theme for the next month.
I am excited that I have already started five of the six planned starts for this month and one of the two finishes for March. After a mediocre February, I am feeling good about March. Let’s take a look:
I got a great start on this WIPGO project for the month. I am already 1216 stitches into my 1500 stitch WIPGO goal. Feeling pleased as ice cream over this one. I have been looking forward to starting this Stitch Quarterly project from a year ago. I love the vibrant colors and it is a delight to work on. In just two nights I am already over half done with this project. Just love stitching on this navy aida.

The next four years, no matter what happens, will be a roller coaster since Donald Trump does not like scientist especially those who work with the environment or climate. But this platform is not a political one and I certainly don’t want to make it so. Just please make sure you get all the facts before you speak.
On to more fun things like all my stitchy projects for this week. Let’s get started!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #132”Hope all my stitchy friends are safe and sound from the winter storms and the wildfires. Crazy winter we are having. Everyone is safe and sound here in San Jose, California. Today feels like a spring day with the temperature at 67F. I am enjoying it while I can.
It’s been a great stitchy week and I am looking forward to sharing my progress with you. Still need to kit up my planned starts but otherwise, everything is great.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #125”I am exhausted from working on the Cross Stitch WIP parade. It sure felt real good. I didn’t have any new FFO for Cross Stitch in 2024 so that will definitely be a goal for 2025.
Meanwhile, let’s take a look at what I worked on this week.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #124”I am taking a moment to make this special post for all my cross stitch WIPs at December 31, 2024. While I would love to do this with my quilty projects, with over a 100 WIPs that is just not possible for this year anyway. Maybe next year.
January 2024 I started with 17 WIPs. I had the following starts:
Continue reading “2024 WIP Parade”As with my quilting, I struggled to work on projects at Caitlin’s house. I was thinking since she now lives in a house instead of an apartment, that lighting would be better. Unfortunately for her, there is practically zero overhead lighting and I wasn’t prepared. Instead of stitching, I was doing.
I shared a lot of the things I did while in Vancouver and all the good food I had in my last post.
There are lots of photos. If you don’t feel like reading, take a peek at the eye candy.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #122”Hope everyone had a great American Thanksgiving. I am still in food coma mode. How about you? It was great to spend some time with my sister and her family this year. So very nice. Food was fabulous as well as the company. Now I am ready to settle into the Christmas season with Christmas less than 4 weeks away. Ready. Set. GO!
So exciting that this week I finished two and started three. I was relieved that I was able to wrap up these small projects.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #119”Welcome to this weeks update on all the cross stitch projects I worked on this week. The atmospheric river is showing its teeth here in San Jose. We have been pretty lucky that we are just on the edge of the storm. Yesterday they were predicting 5 inches now it just 1 inch of rain. Thank you weather gods. On the other hand, weather like this makes me want to curl up with a good book.
LOL! Of course I have been doing that all week because I wasn’t feeling well. Since Monday I read two books already – Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. I couldn’t put them down. They are fantasy books. I like all kinds of genre but it has been a while since I literally couldn’t but the book down. I love reading and probably ready 4-5 books a week. Those are you average book sizes. While it is hard to tell how big these books are, I am guessing they are the 1000+ books. That could be an interesting blog. A weekly blog on what I am reading. No. No one would care about that. Plus I just read too much. Before these two, I finished up a 15 book series in about 2 weeks. That was … I am not sure what they call they genre. I think of it as military romance action books. Like I said, all genres.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #118”Happy Friday everyone! Another gorgeous Fall day here. Woke up early as I still adjust to the time change. Well let’s take a look at all my cross stitch projects that I workedx ont his week.
