Monday Update

Last week was a relaxing stitching filled week and boy I sure got a lot of stitching time. I already shared a celebration Happy Dance with my readers from Wednesday. This weekend was full of the same. It was too wet to work on our cabin spot so that plan was off. Hubby had amateur radio plans Saturday evening and during the day Sunday. So I declared a HSW (Hermit Stitch Weekend) of my own full of stitching and catching up on TV shows. It was wonderful and guess what I have to share with you....

Here is the whole little shelf area right now...
Just love it! It's so much fun to decorate this area with each season. By the way there is a 4th pillow from the Hands on Design set but my mom stole it so it's missing from this picture haha. There is one last double sided pillow left from the Hands On Design PALs pieces to stitch up. It's on my list to complete this year hopefully. It will be sad not to have a new one to add to it this coming October.

Well it's a new week. We are having weird weather. It's snowing today. Not going to amount to much maybe half an inch but still sure looks like Winter outside. We are supposed to have some 70's later this week so I'll try to hang in there. Never know what it will do in Indiana this time of year. If you are reading this I hope you have a great week and get done what you want done. I hear Ocean in a Bottle calling for attention again. Thanks for stopping by!

Those are all so cute!! What a great display area!! Biscornus too!! Actually, we never know what the weather will do ANYwhere... but it sure seems like Spring has not taken hold in a LOT of areas! It's 47 here...and very windy, so probably colder... Ugh! Thanks for sharing! Hugs!

Lovely stitching, what a great display shelf

Sometimes I really love rainy weather. Because you can use your time for all the things inside the house that you usually don<#t have too much time for. Like stitching, lol. So wonderful, your two finishes. I particularly love the sandcastle. Great job.

Aren't you tired of this weirdo weather? I am so ready for spring but winter just doesn't want to give up! Your shelf definitely feels like spring even if outside is bonkers :D

Your little shelf looks wonderful, Katie--so many cute smalls :) Yes, very strange weather--we were in the 70s this weekend and tomorrow it may snow!

Such a cute little pillow! Well done for not only finishing the projects but for keeping up with fully-finishing them off too! Don't you feel it gives you a much greater sense of satisfaction? :)
