Monday Update

Boy we had a crazy weather week last week. We spent 36 hours below zero. I think it got down to -45 wind chill too. We also got 4 inches of snow one day. It was just a weird cold frozen week. We survived though. We had all our groceries we needed and our home stayed warm and cozy. Just had to have a few talks with the dog about not playing outside. Brrrrr! Jeremiah's best friend had school canceled 3 days and Friday ended up being a 2 hour delay. Our local schools had to close Friday because the buses wouldn't start since they had been so cold. Crazy. So I stitched and watched a lot of TV shows on my DVR haha.

Like I said on my last Monday update I heard a lot of whispers from my WIP totes. Dream of the Sea just had to go away until I could get the whispers to quiet down. I walked over to see what I heard the loudest and out popped my Winter tiny from Erica Michaels...

Here is where I was with it after the 2 Days last time I had it out...

I worked on it 3 more days and it's here now...

The pattern of the border finally caught on and I was able to get a lot done. I was really happy with my progress. Then Friday it was February 1st and Mom's monthly set was screaming Hey Me ME!!

February from Sand, Sea & Cross Stitch Book

Stitched on 14ct White Aida Fabric

Threads are Suggested DMC

Started Feb 1st. Took 3 Days.

 

I finished it up yesterday I'm happy to report. Mom already has it proudly on display. Now I have a valentine piece to do for Jo's upcoming blog hop. Plus my Lizzie Kate set is telling me it demands to be after that. My stitching is sure demanding.  

Hope everyone has a great week ahead. Today we are having a heat wave compared to last week. It's 54 degrees right now. Our yard is a big wet mess with all the melting snow and now we have rain on top of that. We are supposed to get ice later tomorrow maybe. Just never know what we'll get. Probably another week of staying inside safe and sound. Hopefully it means lots of stitching time though so no complaining here.
