Wintertime – Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #125

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.

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.

2024 WIP Parade

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:

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!

Starts & Finishes

So exciting that this week I finished two and started three. I was relieved that I was able to wrap up these small projects.

Amazingly I had two starts & finishes this week. Didn’t realize that my two year long small projects were both this week. Let’s take a look.

It has been a buys week with lots of travel. I managed to watch Shaun via streaming while he was in LA and I was in Seattle. I got to spend quality time with my daughter. We had afternoon tea, shopping, and hiking as well as great food. One night we had Dim Sum and another seafood. She made homemade pasta another night. Yummy! Let’s take a look at what I did work on this week.

Floss Friday #76

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?
