Oops Still Here

 Wow. So I left and forgot to come back. Sorry to anyone who does stop by. Most the time it's just future me haha. Flosstube is honestly enough and then I forgot to update here too. But I love looking back on what I've done in the past so if I don't update here.....what will I look back on?? No way am I going back to what's been going on since the last post though. ALOT! haha. Stitching all the things does that to you. 

 So I'll just jump into the now. Sound good??

 Last week 4 WIPs including 1 new start. Yes I will update my WIP Tote Tab I think that's changed a lot too.

 Monday I worked on Mermaid by Lina Ova...

I added 100 because Monday is always busy...

Here is where I am now. Fabric is 32ct Tantalizing Tulips Opal from Silkweavers... 

Day 5 on that beautiful piece. 

Tuesday I started Pizza Pups a new Paine Free Crafts. Artwork Brigid Ashwood. Love it. Dogs....Pizza...all the details....those colors. I mean serious...

32ct Lambswool 1 over 1 full X. 75 colors with this one. Day 2. Added 900 so far.

2026 Peppermint Purple SAL is going well. Day 5. Added Weeks 7 and 8. Doing them every 2 weeks like that year...

 40ct Verdal FOTM from Dying for Cross Stitch that Annette gave me. Love it even though makes the black work hard to see the details.

Then Jeremiah spun Evergreen Snowman a Jim Shore Mill Hill kit from 2017....just yesterday haha. 4th oldest WIP in my current tote.

I added 3 days and 1,302 total stitches....

Poor snowman just needs his head and his hat. Love it. So this will stay out till I finish it. 

Life.....everything is going fantastic. We are going to be building a home here on the property and living with my dad. We are hoping to start the process this Summer maybe. Lots to do and lots of excitement with that planning of course. I know I love my dad and I appreciate the thought of taking care of him the rest of his life and enjoying our new home together. Wow to have space again haha. Living here in this tiny home has been amazing though. The transition we needed. 

Okay I hope I'll be back next week. Thanks for sticking around if you did. Hello future me looking back. You are in love with your stitching. Keep it up girl! 

Mar 24th Monday Update Retreat Recap

So all caught up again.

After that I worked on Mushroom Gnome a Jim Shore Mill Hill Kit...

Added 200. Thursday I was off to my retreat. This year was different. A lot of regular attendees didn't come so we had a lot of new people. Anyway change happens. 

When I got there I started When I think of Spring by Puntini Puntini it was the first day of Spring...

A lot of talking so only 75 added and I put it away. I was worried I was miscounting since I was having fun talking. So I pulled out Trust the Universe from The Sunflower Diaries...
