Dec 1st Monday Update

 December is here. I am happy because I love the decorations and I hope life slows down (except our weekends are nonstop busy haha). Wonder what projects will jump onto my QSnaps this month. Let's see what I worked on last week...

A lot of everything but stitching. Monday Tuesday and Wednesday was nothing. Wow. But so much prep for Thanksgiving and life stuff that's okay. Our Thanksgiving was fantastic!!! 

Thursday I finished the 2025 Peppermint Purple SAL...

Just love the way it turned out. Friday was another no stitching day. We put out our decorations and had Thanksgiving with my family at Grandma's. It was very nice. Saturday I warned everyone to leave me alone and I got 800 added to Autumn Quaker from Primrose Cottage...

Close to finished finally. Missed my goal of end of November but that's fine with me. Life is meant to be lived.

Sunday I worked on Jeremiah's Christmas WIP Wheel Spin which was A Type of Christmas from Erin Elizabeth...

Really a joy to work on.

Busy week we are leaving Friday morning for a weekend away. Looking forward to it but want to spend all hours till then stitching haha. First up is a new start with my stitching bestie Lisa... 

Can't wait. I have two SALs I would like to do this week plus all the things. Plus Jeremiah spun Holiday Truck Ornaments again...plus plus plus haha. 

Love yourself. Go stitching! See ya next Monday.
