Aug 19th Monday Update - 2 Finishes

Well Hello to the few readers left in blogworld haha. That's okay I'll still be here. Let's see what I worked on last week.

Monday Dashgo call Sunday was WIP with Hands so got more stitching on The Mandalorian by Forbidden Fiber Arts. Grogu has hands so I worked on it again. Finished up Grogu and moved to the words after 320 stitches...

I admit I don't like the way they did the colors in his head but it's okay. I wouldn't try to change it myself. 

Tuesday new Dashgo call WIP with a horse. None for me. So I pulled out Summer Line Up by The Trilogy since I wanted it done by Sept 1st. Added 676...

Wednesday I added 375 more...

Thursday Dashgo call was WIP with Strawberries. Wohoo I have one. Gathering Berries by Luminous Fiber Arts. Added 443 Thursday and 420 Friday and finished it off...

Saturday we had a busy day. Spike had a vet appointment in the morning. He did fantastic. All clear and all medicated for another year. We got home just in time to help with doing up corn for the freezer. We did up 60 bags and the family all split it. 

It was a great time. We had a lot of family and friends.

Bev got out of rehab on Tuesday. She got the all clear. She is walking with a walker some but slowly getting her strength back. They are kidnapping Jeremiah to go gambling again tomorrow. So she is really happy to be able to do that again. Now we just wait and see what's next. I just hope she stays well for awhile now. My dad and her deserve the break.

Plans. More Dashgo this week. Today they new call was Something so heavy you can't life over your head. So I'm going to work on Yggdrasil. Laundry tonight but I should be able to stitch a lot after Jeremiah leaves tomorrow on his fun night away. New calls Wed, Fri and Sun. I have some stitching friends coming over to camp this weekend so that should be a lot of fun. We might just take a trip to a stitching store which is exactly what I don't need hahaha. Plus probably more corn on Saturday. Have a wonderful week. Love yourself. Find reasons to smile!

I will still be here too; until the end my friend! The Mandalorian is looking great. Summer Line Up looks close to a finish. I think the color in Gathering Berries looks so nice. Well when I go down a little farther I see the Summer Line Up is finished! Congrats!!

I hope Bev stays healthy and she regains most if not all of her strength back. I hope you guys can find something to do while Jeremiah is out doubling his money! Enjoy your time with your stitchy friends, the best friends ever! :)
