Dec 8th Monday Update

 I need more time haha. Let's see what I worked on last week...

Monday and Tuesday was a new start with Lisa my stitching bestie. Cardinal Joy Dimensions kit. I just showed the picture last post if interested. I added 746 in the two days. Using 28ct White Evenweave for this so I could have bigger margins on the sides...

 Love it so far. 

Wednesday was two advent starts. First up was from The Steady Thread. I'm doing the Advent Tree. I finished the pot and the first row of the tree...

Using an opalescent 18ct raw piece I had in my stash. The base of the tree is 632 and I'm using 701 for the tree. I would love to catch up with this. Each day ornaments are being released.

The 2nd advent SAL is by Artmishka on Facebook. I loved her SAL last year. I'm using the same thread as last year a Caron Waterlily called Holiday and a piece of 28ct Star Sapphire Jobelan I got from a viewer... 

Finished part one before putting it done. Love it!!!

Holiday Truck Ornaments by Dimensions was a spin for last week. I worked on it Thursday. I added 80 because I also kitted up a stack of new projects to start haha. 

Last night I added 119 to Autumn Quaker after a fun weekend away...

We went up to have our Christmas shopping fun at Michigan City. It was a great weekend away. Lots of Christmas shopping. Just a few things left to gather. Now I need to focus on finishing my two Autumn pieces and the last section of Along the Nesting Boxes. So we'll see what I can get done by next week. 

Love yourself.  

Dec 1st Monday Update

 December is here. I am happy because I love the decorations and I hope life slows down (except our weekends are nonstop busy haha). Wonder what projects will jump onto my QSnaps this month. Let's see what I worked on last week...

A lot of everything but stitching. Monday Tuesday and Wednesday was nothing. Wow. But so much prep for Thanksgiving and life stuff that's okay. Our Thanksgiving was fantastic!!! 

Thursday I finished the 2025 Peppermint Purple SAL...

Just love the way it turned out. Friday was another no stitching day. We put out our decorations and had Thanksgiving with my family at Grandma's. It was very nice. Saturday I warned everyone to leave me alone and I got 800 added to Autumn Quaker from Primrose Cottage...

Close to finished finally. Missed my goal of end of November but that's fine with me. Life is meant to be lived.

Sunday I worked on Jeremiah's Christmas WIP Wheel Spin which was A Type of Christmas from Erin Elizabeth...

Really a joy to work on.

Busy week we are leaving Friday morning for a weekend away. Looking forward to it but want to spend all hours till then stitching haha. First up is a new start with my stitching bestie Lisa... 

Can't wait. I have two SALs I would like to do this week plus all the things. Plus Jeremiah spun Holiday Truck Ornaments again...plus plus plus haha. 

Love yourself. Go stitching! See ya next Monday.
