Feb 13th Monday Update

It was a busy week but let's see what stitching I got done first...

Monday I did the 6th part of the blackwork SAL. Love the leaves!

Then Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I worked on AAN Paw Print for least 30 minutes and then Season 2 Year of Celebrations February piece...

The Paw Print is so slow but I do enjoy working on it. Small amounts of time works well for it. February is slowly coming along. Love the cardinals. 

Wednesday I needed 6 miles for a challenge I was in. So I was too tired after to stitch. Yes I did get it!  Saturday morning we woke up and took a road trip. Our dog Spike has never had a night in a hotel. We have a 2 night trip planned for Easter and our big May trip so figured why not do a fun get away night for a test. So we headed up north to visit friends. Spike did amazing of course. He loved his time away. Behaved perfectly the whole time.

Here We Go
Found a dog park. Spike is happy! He got to meet a Bull Mastiff pup only 10 months old. 
Ice floating on Lake Michigan. So pretty to see.
Michigan City Lighthouse.
The wind had blown the sand over this bench. So we had to try to sit on it. That's my campground daughter on the left. We got to visit with her for a few hours.
On the way home we stopped to visit our favorite casino. Jeremiah and me had a blast playing this Leprechaun machine. We both did really good on them.

We got to see several friends. Spike got to learn how fun traveling can be. We had a blast together like always. Poor Spike has done nothing but sleep today haha. Making up for all the fun we had I guess. 

This week Jeremiah and I both get to meet our new doctor and get physicals. Here's hoping it's all good news. Have a great week. Smile. Love yourself.

Wonderful progress on all of your WIPs, Katie--I especially love the HOD birds :) So nice that you could get away for a bit and that Spike did so well in the hotel. He sounds like one special pup :) Enjoy your week--and Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

The Blackwork piece looks great Katie! I just love how the sections are small so you can have time to stitch it and something else! Looks like you guys had a great road trip and a fun time visiting friends. Even Spike got to make a new friend.

Great progress and keeping up with your stitching.
It looks like you had a great getaway, especially Spike! Visiting with friends is always nice and being near the water is a big plus.

Your stitching is lovely! I've been eyeing that Blackwork SAL too, and the leaves are my favorite part! Sounds like you had a wonderful get away, it's great to see some place new especially in the wintertime, it's good for body and mind! So glad you got your waking in too...well done!
