Monday Update

Here is the November Snapshot now after 3 days progress. The first block is finished and the other blocks are outlined and ready to go.

Friday and Saturday we had a blast shopping at Shipshewana. Jeremiah, Mom and me went Friday. It was our first time at these new buildings. The one building had 50 vendors and the other had 150 at least. We had so much fun and found lots of great goodies for Christmas. Saturday Jeremiah stayed home with Fred and we met up with a close family friend to shop again all day. We shopped till we dropped and then shopped more. It was a great time indeed. Yesterday my whole body hurt so I happily threw myself on my couch to stitch all day.

This weekend is the return of the official IHSW...
I looked at the calendar to see what the plans were. Hubby is going to be busy all weekend with his HAM radio club. My poor DVR is full and there are so many shows begging to be watched. So I warned Mom and Jeremiah. They are on their own. Just imagine I'm at a stitching retreat all weekend. IHSW is the perfect excuse to demand a lazy weekend. Are you going to join in too?

Another cute snapshot! I have enjoyed seeing your progress on these throughout the year. A hermitting weekend sounds perfect but it's the school Christmas fayre on Sunday so a hectic weekend ahead for us. I'll join in when I Can!

November looks great! Love the photograph edges. I have been planning to do hermit stitching on any day but I guess I might get some time this Friday and Saturday as some floor work is getting done in few rooms so I will be restricted to kitchen and bedroom. I will try to restrict myself to bedroom only and stitch all day ...lol:) My hubby is taking off so he will manage food and the floor workers.

You made a wonderful start on the November Snap Shots. Maybe you can finish them during next IHSW. Maybe I'll join in as well - if I can overcome my stitching slump that is, lol.

You have made some great progress on the November Snap Shot project. I bet if you do hermit, you will get it done! And more! Hugs!

I really love the colors in this November Snap Shot, Katie! And what a fun weekend with your mom! I miss those days with my mother who is now 90 and really can't get out to shop much at all...
