Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
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.
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. šæļøš¤Ŗ
Continue reading “Floss Friday #126”I am exhausted from working on the Cross Stitch WIP parade. It sure felt real good. I didnāt have any new FFO for Cross Stitch in 2024 so that will definitely be a goal for 2025.
Meanwhile, letās 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:

December 26th was a very rainy day to contrast with today where we have sunshine. The joy of being in California!
I seem to still being have some focus issues this week. I have been reading a whole bunch and being distracted from stitching or quilting. š All is good, I am planning a New Yearās Stitch-A-Thon to work on any WIPS that are on my goals list but might have been slighted during the month of December. š§āš
Continue reading “Floss Friday #123”Hello Everyone from Vancouver, Washington. It was a foggy day as I drove in this afternoon but whenever there was a gap in the fog, we had sunny skies. I left sunny and bright San Jose with temps of 71F to be here with temps in the 40s. Now it feels like winter and the Christmas season.
Letās take a look at what cross stitch projects I worked on this week as well as how November WIPGO wrapped up.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #120”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”Friday was a busy day so I am running a wee bit behind getting this up. Thank you for allowing me to share what I have been working on this week in my cross stitch world. Letās jump in.
No new finishes this week but I did get started on two more from the planned 9 starts for this month.
October is over! So hard to believe that 2024 is coming to an end. Itās been a good year for me. Hope it has been good for you too. I have a few ideas of things I will be working on in 2025 but havenāt really nailed it down. Check the end for my thoughts on 2025. Letās take a look at this past week.
This has been an exciting month since I finished both WIPGO Projects. Letās take a look. First up:
Continue reading “Floss Friday #115”Last Friday of October already. Honestly this week has felt like the last week of October but I still have 7 more days of October! How exciting. The November WIPGO projects are out and we will take a peek. By default, that means we know the December projects as well. I have chosen not to go there. I am excited about winding down October and starting on November. Letās get started!
The goal each month is to work on the project at least five times or have a finish.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #114”Welcome back! Not as many projects this week but some nice progress towards my goals.
After having days of overcast and windy, it is nice out today with a high of 77F. Very nice fall weather. Perfect Fall day. Guess that is why I am finding so much joy stitching autumn and halloween this month.
