Monday Update

Let's see what I stitched on last week...

Still working on the Heart Freebie every day for 30 minutes for the Embroidery.com #LovetoStitch challenge. Here is where this piece is as of yesterday...

That's Day 23 on this one. I have the heart I'm on and the large middle heart left to stitch. I don't know if it will take me all the way through the end of the month or not. 6 more days. I bet I'll finish it. I'm not good at estimating how long it will move along in the 30 min spans. I do have a 2nd piece ready to finish off the required 30 mins a day on.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I worked on the Homely Houseplants. I finished up #9 and #10 plants...

#9 is the top right plant. It's a chinese money plant. She told us they are really popular in the Netherlands where they call it a pancake plant. #10 is on the top shelf on the left. It's a calathea omata plant. The last two have been released and they are in the open spot on the left. They are both hanging basket plants that would be hanging from the "ceiling" in this piece. I can't wait to get them finished up.

Tuesday I also worked on Winter Time by New York Dreamer. This completes the A acrostic for the month...

It was a busy weekend. Fred had the day off work Friday and we went down to our cabin. My dad's work had a retirement celebration for him so we were able to attend that. We went out to eat together with some family friends after the thing at his work. Then we went back to the cabin and settled in for a movie together. Jeremiah was so happy to be in our home away from home again.

Saturday we surprised my dad with a big family and friends party at my Grandparent's house. It was fun to see everyone and we really surprised him. Sunday we cut down a few trees and had a nice meal together before heading home. Jeremiah said it was a tease since he wants it to be time to go back down every weekend. It was still pretty chilly out so it will have to wait a bit more. We did stay very warm in our cabin with both heaters running. It was wonderful.

Now it's time for another short week with a lot to cram in. I want to finish up the last 2 plants. I would love to finish up my other acrostic pieces so that means making a little progress on Rules for Life, Boba Fett, Wish Upon a Starfish, and Camping Out. With the plants and the heart progress and life I might just have to squeeze them all into one day just to make a few stitches and call them done. The plants just stole too much time this month. I'm already dreaming about what I want to stitch in March. We'll see.

Have a great week! We are also leaving Friday for a fun mini vacation to celebrate my god-son's 18th birthday.
