Monday Update

Don't worry I'm still stitching like a mad woman. Let's see what I've been working on...

Heart Freebie I've worked on every day for a half hour a day for the Embroidery.com #Lovetostitch Challenge. If I keep at it and post everyday (with 4 allowed miss days) I will get a free needle minder. I participated in the WitchyStitchy challenge during Halloween and the needle minder was very well made and definitely worth participating. I've been stitching this adorable heart freebie that I seen a picture during last year's Valentine Blog Hop...

You can go here to get the freebie if interested. I'm doing mine in 4 different purples on this beautiful random piece of purple 28ct evenweave I had in my stash. Here is the most recent picture after day 9 on it...

If you would like to see my daily progress check out my Instagram here.

I've also been doing good keeping up with the Homely Houseplants SAL. Worked on it 4 days last week. We have 5 plants now. I have 4 finished...

Plant 1 was the huge one it's a monstera plant. 2 is the small cactus sharing a table with the monstera plant. It's a columnar cactus. The one in the 3 legged display is a sanseviera plant also known as snakes tongue. The little tiny cactus on the first shelf is a globular cactus. I love the way this one is turning out so far. It's time consuming but I'm enjoying them. I didn't do yesterday's yet I wanted to work on something else for the day. I will start it today after my half hour on the heart.
As you seen in my FFG post I finished up the Feb fairy Wednesday. The other piece I worked on last week was 99 Bottles over the weekend. I have the 4 bottles added for this month. Remember in order to meet my goal of finishing this year I want to add 4 bottles a month. I had 48 left to stitch this year. Now I have 40 left. Here is the new 4 bottles on the 6th shelf...

Sunday we had a meet up to stitch at the hospital cafeteria right near me. Yes it seems funny to gather at a hospital but the cafeteria is huge and makes a fantastic meeting spot. We had 8 total this time. 3 new ladies. 2 came from 2 hours away to attend! It was a horrible snowy day too so how nice to meet them. Glad we were able to still get out and see each other. We sure had a lot of fun.

Over the weekend we binge watched Locke and Key on Netflix. We really liked it. It's a mix of Series of Unfortunate Events and Harry Potter. Magic. Mystery. Kind of spooky but not too bad in my opinion. We did watch a very nice scary movie called Eli. I loved it! Lots of twists and turns and I sure didn't predict the ending. The last one we ended up binge watching too was The Stranger. Definitely a mystery with lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed it overall though the ending really wrapped it all up and finally answered the questions so that's always nice.

Jeremiah has been having gaming marathons on the weekends with 3 friends. My godson, his dad, and brother. The boys got their dad an Xbox for Christmas. They are playing the same game together and talking via Xbox Live. Jeremiah has been having a blast. It's great to hear him laughing so much. So it makes late nights and extra TV watching time haha. Which is okay because I seem to get a lot of stitching time along with that haha.

Have a great week. I'll be working on the Heart Freebie, Homely Houseplants, and then working on getting my WIPGO goals met. Both numbers called this month were for 200 stitches on Beer Dragon. So I'll shoot for at least a minimum of those 400 stitches to call that one complete for the month. It's also on my monthly acrostic so that works.
