Jun 3rd Monday Update

I know we all say it but serious....how is it June already?!?! Wow. Slow down 2024!!! Let's see what I was up to last week...

Monday was Memorial Day. So no computer time and no stitching. Too tired from the great weekend. 

Tuesday and Wednesday I worked on Dragon Biscornu by Tiny Modernist. I had a goal of 200 for the month...

After hitting my goal Wednesday it was time for my last new start for May...

Tickled Pink in Stitches posted this beautiful Irish Blessing. When I seen it was a freebie from Herrschners I was like um well I need to do that haha. I mean....Irish! I'm using 32ct Antique White Linen for it and the suggested colors. It did surprise me how many color changes there are but it looks beautiful so I'm okay with it. I added 354 Wed, 78 Thurs, and 108 Friday...



Saturday was June 1st and I decided why not start Yggdrasil. I mean 7 new starts in May just isn't enough haha. 

Using 32ct Lambswool for my Paine Free Crafts like normal. 1 thread over 1 complete X. 



Saturday and Sunday 500 added already from that beautiful upper left framework. Love it!!! Just love how it's right into the design. Just love the overall art. Just love each little X. 

Life. Wednesday Jeremiah was off on an adventure with Dad and Bev. They hadn't went anywhere since August. They had a great time. The 2nd was Fred and my 23rd anniversary so I joked with him about taking Thursday off since Jeremiah would be gone. He took Thursday and Friday off work and we had a great time! We went out to eat a delicious dinner Wednesday together. Thursday after breakfast we loaded up with Spike. Took him to get his nails trimmed, went to a dog park and on a little hike, then went to Fred's favorite cigar bar. They allow dogs and Spike did amazing! So he will definitely go back. Jeremiah got home sometime in the afternoon Thursday. He came home with $175 more than he took. Lucky little turd haha. Bev was tired but really had a great time. Friday Fred and I ran up to Fort Wayne to do some banking and quick grocery trip. It was a nice relaxing day. We watched the rest of Fallout on Prime. 

Saturday we did some work. Time to put away our winter shower house and get the sink back setup...




This time we built it so we was hoping we could just pick it up with the tractor and not have to take each board and sheet of metal apart like last time. Up it went and away it went. Perfect! This coming winter we can just pop it back on and done. Fantastic. We also got a tree cleared that had fallen down in a storm.We are having the band back here at the campground June 15th so we have a lot of stuff to do but Fred has the week before off work. So hopefully it goes as fantastic as this last week and we'll be ready to go in time. Excitement is definitely growing as it gets closer. Bev is going to put off treatment till the week after hopefully. She is telling doc tomorrow so fingers crossed her is okay to delay.

Life just keeps moving along. Smile. Love yourself. Find whatever makes you happy. See ya next week with hopefully more stitching to share. I don't know what's screaming loudest to be stitched because I hear all of them. Me Me Me.

Very nice new start! You got pretty far on it. Boy, what a work "Yggdrasil" is! LOL
I hope you guys have another 23 years together! Glad Bev and your Dad got to get out and do something with all they have been through lately. Sounds like Jeremiah did have a fun time winning all that money! Now that hard part... what should he buy. Glad you guys are finding shortcuts for putting stuff up and taking it down. Sounds like it will be a busy Father's Day weekend for you guys!

Stay safe!

Love that Irish Blessing piece, Katie--very nice progress! That's great that it is a free chart, too. Sounds like you all had a great time while Jeremiah was busy winning money :) I've only been to a casino once, but lost all I brought with me within five minutes--ha! Decided gambling is not something I'm good at. Best wishes for Bev!
