Floss Friday #179

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.

Results of April WIPGO

Floss Friday #178

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.

Floss Friday #163

Welcome to 2026! I finished off December 31st trying to make it through my December goal list. Unfortunately, while I worked on EVERY project left, I did NOT make my goals. So I focused on my December WIPGO projects as that is the whole reason to have WIPGO projects. Total win there!

2025 Project Recap

  • WIPs as of January 1st = 21
  • Starts = 52
  • Finishes = 39
  • WIPs as of December 31st = 34

I thought about doing a post for 2025 ending / 2026 beginning WIPs but decided that instead I would create a page for it instead. You can visit the page anytime view the top menu. I did mention I was going to shake things up this year right?

Floss Friday #155

Hello Everyone! I am finally home for a while. It feels so good to be home although I had a great time in NYC. If I find some time, I will do a travel post to cover everything I did in September & October. It has definitely been a very busy fall so far. I am looking forward to some extended time at home and to get back to my normal routine.

Unfortunately for all of you, this may be a bit longish. I will try and wrap up all of October since my post on October 3rd.

Floss Friday #152

We have reached the last Friday of the Summer. So hard to believe we are here already. I feel like the summer just flew by! I didn’t really DO anything all summer. My summer was spent settling in to my new home and selling the old one. My San Jose home finally closed last friday. (Yea!!!) I still have one more home to sell in San Jose and I hope to sell it before year end. Hopefully ya’ll have done something way more fun this summer!

September and Ocotber will be making up for being a homebody all summer. First trip is quickly approaching and I can’t wait to see all my friends in person as we attend the Zephyr Cove quilt retreat on Lake Tahoe.

Moving on to stitchy things!
