This is a special day. My daughter is getting married. I am thrilled to be gaining a son. They have been together for seven years. How time flies. I will share photos in my next post. So let’s get to this week’s cross stitch so I can get ready to go.
Happy Friday! While the weather here in the PNW is more spring like this week, it still has been a great week. I even got in a 4 mile walk with blue skies! Let’s jump into all my cross stitch projects that I worked on this past week so I can get you caught up.
Starts & Finishes
I had one finish this week. I had planned a start but wasn’t in the mood to start a new project. I know! That is very Peggy unlike.
While things are slow moving on the quilting front as I find and organize my 50 boxes of stuff, I have all of my active cross stitch WIPS with me. Now I haven’t been able to find my extra needles, my floss stasth, my fabric stash, or my inactive wips, kits, or patterns, that still leaves me with a lot to work with. Let’s take a look at what I worked on this week.
Starts & Finishes
I initially thought I had nothing to share for this category. I already forgot that last Friday I finished a project!
Wow! First Stitchy post of April. This move has definitely knocked me off my creative crafty horse 🐎. At least I did get some stitching done before the move and just this week finally got settled enough to get going again. I have a few challenges since I haven’t unpacked the craft/sewing studio yet. Let’s get caught up!
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.
Starts & Finishes
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.
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.
Starts & Finishes
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.
Welcome back! This week has been a fairly productive week with all my cross stitch projects. I am looking forward to sharing what I worked on this week. So let’s get started!
Happy Friday! It’s a good day. My daughter who works with USGS is still employed. 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!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope all you lovebirds have a great day today. My brother-in-law and my grandson both brought me flowers for today as well as helping me with my storage unit. I loved the grand gesture from both of them!
It feels like only yesterday that I was sharing what I have been up to this week on all my Cross Stitch projects. In reality, it has been a week! Whoa! What a busy week it has been. We are having unseasonably warm sunny weather here in Northern California. I am enjoying it while I can.
January Goals
I thought I would recap my monthly cross stitch start and finish goals here. I normally try to keep this number down, but January got out of control. 🐿️🤪
