Continue reading “Floss Friday #187”Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! The week just flew by for me. I had a couple of down days this week. Got caught up doing home stuff and too tired to pick up any projects. Otherwise it has been a good week!
Dispite my distractions this week, I have had two finishes that I want to share with you.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #186”Welcome back Stitchy Friends! Excited to watch the USA play Paraguay in the World Cup tonight. It will be a weekend full of World Cup games and time for stitching. Love it!
Just in case you were wondering. For me a start is when I start a new CHART. Some projects have multiple charts and I consider them a seperate project because I don’t have to stitch all of them. I am doing quite a few series and each is a seperate chart so seperate project even if I decide to do them as one larger project. This thought process evolved to help keep me motivated and keep up momentum.
On the other hand, when I finish stitching a CHART, I am calling it a finish. This is not to be confused with FFO (Final Finished Object) which when they happen for me end up in its own category. I am just horrible about that final step so you don’t see that here often.
With that said, I had a couple of starts this week.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #184”Welcome back my stitchy friends! How is the last day of spring been for you? We have overall had a very mild spring with days in the 50s and days in the 80s. Some rain and some sunshine. Perfect spring weather. Right now we are in a rainy phase. This morning when I got up it was pouring cats and dogs. This afternoon I see peeks of blue skies between the white fluffy clouds and the grey stormy clouds. Wait five minutes and it could change!
I am happy to say I finished both of my May WIPGO goals and made some progress on those old April and January goals.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #183”Welcome back my stitchy friends! Wow! It has been an eventful two weeks. I had the cross stitch retreat hosted by 141 Design Company and travel home. I would love to tell you that I got a ton of stitching. Well… I talked more than I stitched. LOL! Of course isn’t that what retreats are for. Let’s take a look at my weeks.
No finishes this last two weeks but I do have to new starts. I hope to finish one more project and start another. Keep your fingers crossed.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #182”Welcome back for some cross stitch goodness! Last week we went in depth on my Cross Stitch WIPGO results for April (and past month goals) as well as to diving into the May WIPGO projects. I was pretty focused this week and went with finishing a goal before moving onto the next project goal. I know..a little unusal for me. It is just where my head was this week. I feel good with the results.
Let’s jump in.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #180”Welcome back to Floss Friday where I share my cross stitch projects. It has been another busy week with life happening left and right. I ended up missing getting any quilting done (until today) as well as missing my To Do Tuesday blog. #sigh. I had nothing to share. Days went fast and before I knew it, it was evening. Still needed to cook and eat dinner, so even my stitching time was abbreviated. I did work on projects.
Let’s start with a WIPGO update.

April was a WIPGO heavy month but short on time to complete those goals.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #179”Gorgeous sunny day here in the Pacific Northwest. I was outside enjoying some of that sunshine with the cats who were cracking me up.


Went for a walk in the neighborhood today. First thing that happened was being greeted when I walked out the front door by two birds. It took me a minute to figure out they were chattering at me because I was standing by their nest.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #178”It has been two weeks since I posted. Check out my quilting post for all the fun I had at the quilt retreat here.
I was very optomistic about how much cross stitching I would get done. Surprise! Yet I still managed to get a wee bit of stitching from time to time. I did take one of my WIPGO projects.
There were a lot of down days this past two weeks. I would like to say they were all while I was at the quilt retreat but that would be a fib. Yet I was able to finish one of my projects.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #177”After days of rain while the sun is shinng, today is all sunshine! It is nice so see such blue skies. Loving this spring weather. Busy day today so getting this one posted late. Let’s hope to it!
