Wow finally my last post for today. Good thing it's almost 11pm. It's been a long day. *sigh* It's okay tomorrow is a new day.
Last week was a full stitching week again. Every day I worked on the Heart Freebie for my half hour a day. Saturday was a mandatory stitch day and I'm happy to say I stitched on the Heart Freebie everyone day in February. No missed days. Even with our road trip. I worked on it Friday on the ride up. First time stitching in the vehicle. It's a little hard to find the holes with all the bumps but I got it. Saturday I worked on it at the hotel and finished up the design just as my last 30 minutes was over...
Reminder you can get this adorable pattern
here. I stitched my version in my favorite color purple. I did successful complete the Embroidery.com challenge. I seen a peek at the needle minder we will be receiving and it's beautiful of course. So I will have a free needle minder prize and a finished piece to celebrate the challenge. Sounds good to me.
I pulled out Rules for Life Monday so I could mark off the letter R on my acrostic. Loved the progress I made one it...
Tuesday I worked on 3 other acrostic pieces. Camping out. I finished a small section under the tent section...
Wish Upon a Starfish. I made more progress...
Boba Fett. Got a start on the 2nd page...
Wednesday it was time to get back to the Homely Houseplants. 2 plants left. I started #11 finished it up Thursday after 6 hours and 21 minutes...
Thursday and yesterday I got some work on the last plant...
We had a great weekend away. Lots of laughs and more memories. It was to celebrate Damein my godson's 18th birthday. I can't believe he is 18 now! Wow. We went to two different casino's to practice for Vegas in April. It was a lot of fun. Friday I lost a lot but Sunday I won most of it all back right before leaving. I was really happy of course. Mom always seems to have good luck. So does Fred. Jeremiah lost a bit and won a bit so he did even. It was a great time. Swimming. Laughing. Eating out. Casino's. Family. Friends. Perfect memories.
Have a great week. I hope to finish that darn plant quickly haha. I'll stop posting now and leave you guys alone.

Great projects, all growing. I have never been to a casino, glad to read you didn't loose it all
Ha ha, I love how you used Damein's birthday as an 'excuse' to practice for Vegas! Glad you had a great weekend away making lots more memories.
Now you're caught up with blog posts I wonder if you'll take a day off from stitching to recover, but I'm guessing not; you'll be back either tomorrow or the day after with a finished Houseplant SAL! :)
Lovely project updates. Still in love with Houseplant SAL.
Wow! Look at you go!! Great progress on everything you've shown here! So glad you got a little practice in before you head to Las Vegas!! I hope you got your walking shoes broken in too! I'm also glad you left with your wardrobe intact. LOL!! Seriously, though, I do love your stitching. The heart is sweet and that starfish is amazing. The houseplants got me sucked into the next SAL she is planning. I'm sorry I missed the plants...it would be nice to have a few in my house that I couldn't kill! LOL
Nice progress on your stitching and a fun weekend, Katie! What could be better :)
Good luck with March plans.
I could never stitch and ride in the car, I would feel so sick
Here's my comment Katie. I certainly home that this will help. By the way my friend......I continue to enjoy every post of yours.
It sounds like you had a very fun weekend and also had a great stitchy week!
Sounds like you had a fun weekend! Lovely updates and great progress.
Well done on the Stitch Every Day challenge. The Heart does show that a little bit each day will see good progress and a finished design in time.
Happy Birthday to Damein, I see you are introducing the boy to the vices of gambling! Hope his luck is good.
Sounds like it was a great birthday weekend. Imanaged to stitch everyday in February too! I almost missed one but managed to squeeze it in. I think my favorite this month is your Wish Upon a Starfish!
Great progress on your projects. I love the Purple Heart and the thread colour for Rules for Life. Your plants are coming along nicely.
You work on the most darling projects! I loved watching your progress on the heart freebie. And, if I had not promised myself no new cross-stitch projects until I finish Twilight Duel and Fractal White Tiger (it's going to be a while - lol!) then I would be looking into the Rules for Life. Love it! Beautiful work, Katie!
Your plants look great, I never started them but I do have the pattern, so maybe one of these days?!
Glad you had another fun weekend making memories, even better that you sort of came out even.
