Jeremiah did great holding down the fort until Fred got off work. Fred did take Friday off to be here to let Spike out so that was really nice. I was picked up by 3 of my local friends. 2 I hadn't seen since my mom's funeral. 1 since probably 2019. We all got to talking and our last Hoosier Retreat was 2019!!! Boy we missed each other. On the way down we normally stop at a LNS in Bloomington Indiana but it closed. So I suggested stopping at one around Indianapolis called Always in Stitches that I haven't been to in YEARS. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

I have fallen in love with them. So one of my friends said they had the Autumn one I could have and I figured I might as well buy some of the others to go with it. Plus a few more haha. And a few more. In the 2nd photo the seasonal 4 and the Mandalorian chart came from another friend. The patriotic one in the top right I bought from someone at the retreat. The Pirate Snowman is just adorable....as are all the others haha. Now I just can't decide what I want to work on first haha. Like I needed more projects....now I have 21 more!!! OMG. But I smile so big flipping through these amazing patterns. I also bought some fabric both at the store and at the retreat. Black for some patterns in my stash and some linen from a lady selling at retreat. Also an arm full of beautiful project bags my friend was giving away.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">We arrived safely at Camp Rivervale in Mitchell, Indiana and settled in for the weekend.

I did more talking and catching up than stitching haha. I missed everyone!!! Plus had one big unload when I talked about everything going on with me in the 5 years. WOW! I tell you what though. I feel so much better. The support I got was exactly what I needed. Several had been through similar things and it helped so much to hear it's not just me and I'm not wrong for my feelings. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">After retreats like this I always have major motivation and want to STITCH ALL THE THINGS! Boy do I ever now even more. Look at those beautiful new patterns!!! I want to start them all and NOW. Plus Plus I want to work on what I have so I can happily start the new ones....but I want to stitch them all at the same time hahaha. See. Then I was so tired I slept for 2 hours when I got home. What a waste of time. Now I sit here on the computer typing. I don't have time for anything else but stitching for months. Then we leave again this Thursday for a weekend of Wrestling craziness. Jeremiah is going crazy and keeps saying Is it Time Yet?? LOL I can definitely tell you one thing I am a happy girl. Happy with my life. Happy with my stitching options that's for sure haha. Now to just breath and enjoy each and every little stitch. I sure will. No stress.

I get to be here for a normal Monday update.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So I updated on Friday. Took the day off from stitching and tried to get caught up on all things computer work. What a pain haha. But I think I'm finally caught up.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Saturday we went into town to HR Block to do our taxes. Depressing but it's done and we don't owe we basically made enough to pay for our taxes haha. Then we went shopping all day. We went to Kokomo a big town smaller than Fort Wayne but we like it. It has all the stores that was on our list. Hobby Lobby, Jo Anns, Best Buy, Menards, a used game store, a pet store for Spike needs, and food to eat out haha. It was a nice day. I needed to gather things for my retreat. I was having a horrible time keeping track of things but the boys helped me and we got everything we needed. We found a cute little bar to eat a late lunch and came home. No stitching was done. But fun was sure had.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Sunday Fred and I went into town here and stopped at Dollar Tree and Walmart for our weekly groceries and the last few needed items. So other than packing.....I'm finally ready for retreat this coming weekend. Well I leave Thursday. I'm excited and nervous. I miss the ladies. Someone said the last one we had was 2019!!! Wow so much has changed since then. A lot to talk about. Tears will be shed but we always have fun solving all our problems together.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I did finally stitch on Sunday and added 203 stitches to Acorn Gnome...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSY6VapM5P3ntRLRMpeOmck6J0-n29eJ482UHZyODoRRXWSsqacypRBFtiTp6zhv2k7up_Rycgzc6PrJP2gY8b4Wi3-Cxb_tuu2G3sGcdbegBzAUjlr9tvk5RQVeSY3T2lvCRoV_f-CiC5eDjB82z7BA4tXiecHtlqAzyh1gh4a8kGHYCL0LvQwx9i54Op/s2700/20240317_204540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="2397" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSY6VapM5P3ntRLRMpeOmck6J0-n29eJ482UHZyODoRRXWSsqacypRBFtiTp6zhv2k7up_Rycgzc6PrJP2gY8b4Wi3-Cxb_tuu2G3sGcdbegBzAUjlr9tvk5RQVeSY3T2lvCRoV_f-CiC5eDjB82z7BA4tXiecHtlqAzyh1gh4a8kGHYCL0LvQwx9i54Op/s320/20240317_204540.jpg" width="284" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(8) March 17th</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">Acorn Gnome</div><div style="text-align: center;">JS20-2314<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">from Jim Shore Mill Hill Kits Set of 6</div><div style="text-align: center;">Released in 2023<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stitched on Perforated Paper</div><div style="text-align: center;">Using Kit Threads and Beads</div><div style="text-align: center;">Started Jan 25th.

Gnomes are just so adorable!!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This month has just been weird. Emotional! So much going on with Bev and just all over the place with own stuff going on. I'm okay just really burnt out. So I'm really excited about this weekend. Laughing with my girls will be a much needed break. Plus I'm really excited to STITCH. When I do get time lately I find myself distracted and messing with my phone. Just mentally not into it. Even though I stitch and I know I do I miss being in the mind set for it. Not really lost mojo I want to stitch on everything I just let my mind wonder off and then it's a few hours later and no stitching has happened. But I'm caught up and ready to actually go focus I think now. So I will end with Love yourself. Have a wonderful week. Hugs. Find reasons to smile as often as you can.

I was happily reading emails and poof our internet went down. We talked to our internet company and AT&T got into a battle over our provider using their mobile service so a new SIM card needed to be mailed our way. Friday we got the card in the mail. Pop it in and nothing. So several more calls and they had no idea nor did they care that we no longer had internet and offered no hope in fixing the issue. So after 11 days with no internet we decided to go another route. We now have Starlink thanks to Elon Musk haha. It's double the price but we now have better internet than the hard line we had from Frontier even at our house in Fort Wayne. Being a home with a gamer and how much we love streaming internet is like air and critical with only getting more needed seems like every year. So now we have very high speed no limit data and I'm one happy girl. On top of that there was a lot of drama from life but first let's see what I've been stitching when I have had time to stitch.</p><div style="text-align: left;">Monday I worked on Christmas Celebration Sampler from Frosted Pumpkin. Added 217 to hit my goal for the month of 200...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRtRPvOdmjDa8DJNMs-Yb0dPulhjWuCOOVs19eJ1XXHmM75zrXjRu5SldVoc9lfe-PCyzY3XxlAAfCfJegE-b64YylWWICIcBXqub4f3OcLdhR8i0-l_SHaI1ZbVrI-v5tbTlpqnsoLJVjPEZIlT586yx13QVZCglpKWBlTqbDr6B0nESn5lCysGUJBR-/s4080/20240304_170832.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3060" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRtRPvOdmjDa8DJNMs-Yb0dPulhjWuCOOVs19eJ1XXHmM75zrXjRu5SldVoc9lfe-PCyzY3XxlAAfCfJegE-b64YylWWICIcBXqub4f3OcLdhR8i0-l_SHaI1ZbVrI-v5tbTlpqnsoLJVjPEZIlT586yx13QVZCglpKWBlTqbDr6B0nESn5lCysGUJBR-/s320/20240304_170832.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>I also worked on the Erica Michael's piece.

One symbol and backstitching left.</p><p>Then my phone rang and it wasn't good news. My dad had called 911 for Bev. She had 3 seizures. So I called Fred and told him get home. I went into town to ride with my dad. She needed transferred immediately to the ER in Fort Wayne via ambulance. She got a room and we made it home about midnight that evening. Fred took Thursday and Friday off work so I could sit beside my dad and find out what was going on. She had swelling on the brain and it needed relief as soon as possible. The test that they would run on a typical person couldn't be ran on Bev because her platelets were too low from her cancer and chemo. I hate when you see a doctor that wants to do something and can't because a health issue is in the way stopping them. So they started her on a medication to hopefully treat the infection that was maybe doing the swelling. A lot of uncertainty. She was very agitated and it was just exhausting trying to keep her calm and safe. Then finally Saturday morning early she settled and fell asleep peacefully. It was a sigh of relief for everyone involved. Maybe the medication was helping?</p><p>Saturday I went up to Fort Wayne to stitch with my stitching friends who have a get together the 2nd Saturday of every month. I was thankful to finally be able to attend but so fried I didn't even both taking stitching. I walked in to see 3 close friends I haven't seen in years and literally busted out into tears. I appreciated their hugs dearly. Then we stopped for a visit to see Bev and came home. </p><p>Now to add to no internet our antenna TV basically stopped working and my cell phone had been being very slow to do anything for a bit now. Sunday I finally had too much and blew a fuse. Fred ended up getting a taller pole, new antenna and installing it all. Which fixed the TV and now since our phone receiver was taller it fixed the phone reception and speed too. No internet but maybe we could survive for the time being haha.</p><p>I pulled out Grow Together from HAED hoping we could Grow Together and lean on each other with everything going on. 154 added Sunday (just couldn't focus easily distracted). </p><p>Monday (boy I missed having my laptop to do an update) we had doctor appointments (my blood pressure is finally under control). But with everything mentally weighing on me I only added 35 stitches. </p><div style="text-align: left;">Tuesday I finally had focus (somewhat) again and added the last 228 for my needed 400 for the month...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBZTXXu1rRNrlEZVYQ44bqlav2AJAvJKi8pASEVmjD82QEv3uKcMsMfuy8qLz5sckVmVIs7edXCfWwTBUuupyRzBF825NL0oOBDnFGkebWFiA-kLuVkNsg96TYwt9d67cBww6NlO2wyk7-BmNvuE1xEcOnD7SgYzQmtlhUZbjW9b9XjuCYYFR-TLCBWx1o/s4080/20240313_160259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3060" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBZTXXu1rRNrlEZVYQ44bqlav2AJAvJKi8pASEVmjD82QEv3uKcMsMfuy8qLz5sckVmVIs7edXCfWwTBUuupyRzBF825NL0oOBDnFGkebWFiA-kLuVkNsg96TYwt9d67cBww6NlO2wyk7-BmNvuE1xEcOnD7SgYzQmtlhUZbjW9b9XjuCYYFR-TLCBWx1o/s320/20240313_160259.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> A lot of confetti in those trees but sure is pretty when stitched up. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Wednesday I caught up on some house stuff. Also it was laundry day. Luckily the new Erica Michael's design Thanks to the Brave goes quickly right now because it's background fill in. I added 329 more to it.

Fred stopped on the way home and finally got us what we needed to switch internet companies. After way too much research (I get obsessed when researching the best option haha). We decided to go with Starlink. This is a satellite service that Elon Musk has helped into existence. They brag about no limit high speed internet for rural areas. Our options are limited here in our little town. This one looked the best. Of course double what we were paying but like I said we all accept how important internet is. Plus you can buy the equipment at Best Buy an electronic store in Fort Wayne that Fred could pick it up on his way home. </p><p>Long story short. We have internet finally!!!! After 11 Days!!! Plus ready for this, it's better than any internet we've ever had even in our big city of Fort Wayne. It's amazing speeds and not even hooked up officially just basically sitting on our storage shed waiting for proper installation this weekend. Jeremiah had two new games that of course were released during the time off and they downloaded just crazy fast. Soooo nice. Worth every cent already.</p><p>Bev update. A lot is coming to attention in the last few days. The chemo treatment at the hospital is very negatively affecting Bev. She has worse reactions every time. The swelling could have been a reaction to the chemo instead of an infection. She just can't do it any more. So they are changing focus from that intense treatment to find another fit for her. When I first heard this I broke into tears because I heard it as stopping treatment. But it's not really that. Just changing to new technology that some people have to have to survive chemo. There are 3 new pills available to help in the last year the doctor said. So we are still in discovering the proper way to go forward. Quality of life is something that is important. She just can't survive another round. No way. So they are making a new plan now. Just waiting to figure out the best way ahead.</p><p>My mind is slowly letting me focus again. Amazing what having internet does haha. We have 4 weekends ahead with fun stuff planned. So focusing on the positives and trying to enjoy every moment. Hopefully stitching will happen too. If not....that's okay. This is my hobby and I love it. </p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-35613788314735534262024-03-04T10:59:00.000-05:002024-03-04T10:59:03.377-05:00Mar 4th Monday Update<div style="text-align: left;">Wow it's March already.

I love these Erica Michael's charts. So teeny on the 40ct silk gauze. I did treat myself to the suggested specialty threads.

Next time I'll have to get a picture with a coin or something.</p><p>Bev update. She fell on Monday and was not feeling well at all. She went in for blood work Tuesday and they sent her to the hospital. They did all the tests and found out her potassium and magnesium was low so they medicated her and let her rest. Complications from chemo. She came home Friday. My dad said every time he takes her up he brings one less piece of her home. She is high spirits but very tired. So please send prayers/thoughts her way.</p><p>Saturday we decided to celebrate Fred's birthday early with a day out geocaching. If you haven't heard o it you go online to geocaching website. People hide things and post coordinates for you to find it. You use a GPS and locate the item. Inside is a sheet of paper where you sign your name and you log the point. We've done this since Jeremiah as tiny. Something to do to get you out and about. Plus other than gas it's free entertainment. The weather was lovely so we spent the day driving around the country. We found 13 and hit a total of 1800 since we started. We also stopped by Fred's favorite cigar shop. Grabbed some groceries and dinner and headed home. I had several phone calls with people about having a get together Sunday here at the campground since the weather was going to be gorgeous.</p><p>Sunday we woke up had breakfast. Started a fire in the fire pit and waited. Dad and Bev was able to come over. We ended up with 18 people including us here. It was a lovely day and impromptu gathering. It was great for Bev to visit with people and sit in the sunshine. Dad was able to relax and enjoy everyone helping to get what Bev needed. It was just needed. I put my phone on mute and put it down. Everyone was gone by 7pm and we had a wrestling pay per view to watch we were excited about. My eyes kept closing so we shut it off at 10pm and went to sleep haha. I'm so old haha. It was a lovely day and we all needed it. </p><p>There is so much going on in the world and our worlds. We are in a holding pattern. We don't know what's to come. But we try to focus on what we have each day and celebrate each little thing. I have to breath and know the future is a question but I will go where I need to go when I need to go there. So breath and enjoy my day currently. I will do just that. </p><p>Have a great week. Love yourself. Find reasons to smile. Stitch when we can. Stop when we need to. <br /></p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-85309662533348274472024-02-29T12:55:00.000-05:002024-02-29T12:55:00.154-05:00Goals: Feb Recap and March Goals<p> First let's see February acrostics...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzVEGQjhKNNzc6Dqw87Ee8HyH3zWTj_hJXoX0T5lJzy_vOBnnb3rM60iW07NPM41zsQZzdRDBJ3vlHq2kNOsFA26meOYw55xNtmygD68zKfb5WT6SMIbn1OOpuqhFwgRlvn2B1WZqPEESBJVMJ0i9rqEGUHGOajYti5QZNSqyXDqInRz-GK8zxnudbR0Z1/s1800/Collage_2024-01-18_17_05_20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzVEGQjhKNNzc6Dqw87Ee8HyH3zWTj_hJXoX0T5lJzy_vOBnnb3rM60iW07NPM41zsQZzdRDBJ3vlHq2kNOsFA26meOYw55xNtmygD68zKfb5WT6SMIbn1OOpuqhFwgRlvn2B1WZqPEESBJVMJ0i9rqEGUHGOajYti5QZNSqyXDqInRz-GK8zxnudbR0Z1/s320/Collage_2024-01-18_17_05_20.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk8S13ioxtmKJkSQB8asKYR14TU0foMvim9nLxsUpNvCLo3CuHAa1nylsAhh37X3Q1UBWaRshNONFJZMVg43g8kPTn7EG_dxzAIvtZEuyAS5GeePAtBCAnicnyAiLV0gOWb3YKUb9GncLTZR_8x9JoRMASXGwhAzzC29WGGRj69-BnRVtWCEPdSCa7FsDN/s1800/Collage_2024-01-28_12_42_15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk8S13ioxtmKJkSQB8asKYR14TU0foMvim9nLxsUpNvCLo3CuHAa1nylsAhh37X3Q1UBWaRshNONFJZMVg43g8kPTn7EG_dxzAIvtZEuyAS5GeePAtBCAnicnyAiLV0gOWb3YKUb9GncLTZR_8x9JoRMASXGwhAzzC29WGGRj69-BnRVtWCEPdSCa7FsDN/s320/Collage_2024-01-28_12_42_15.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><p>Goal all met except one.

The fabric is 14ct Riviera Aqua Aida. Threads look like DMC from what I can tell. I just love the way it looks so far. I did see it's typography which I always enjoy. What's next??? We'll have to wait till Friday to see.</p><p>Our weather is typical Indiana Springish time but we've been running about 20 or 30 degrees above average. Then it snows. So never know what will be out the window. Today the front door is open. Wednesday snow. In between possible severe storms. 60plus to 30's haha. </p><p>Last Wednesday Jeremiah had another eye doctor appointment and everything was great. His pressure was lowest she had seen it. Who knows why we haven't changed anything since last visit. But we hope it stays that way. I had my BP checked and it was still high so they doubled my med. Which made me dizzy and way confused so hopefully that means it's working haha. I go the 11th to be checked again. Fingers crossed that was the answer. Bev did great with her 2nd treatment. Just a 5 day hospital stay back home yesterday. This time they put her on a chemo pill to keep taking while at home. She will go back to the hospital in 3 weeks for another stronger treatment. But so far so good. So thankful. </p><p>Okay I've been updating this way too long. Typical Monday. Everything goes longer than you want haha. So I'm off. Love yourself. Find a reason to smile. Hugs.

So maybe I'm holding off the world from being able to end. Whatever works. I like to use this an excuse to report my progress since the last check in.

Others were saying possibly 2. It was beautiful. Now it's warming up so mud everywhere haha. Spike wishes the snow would stay around. He just loves jumping around in the snow. Saturday we watched Oppenheimer on Peacock. Jeremiah our little history buff really enjoyed it a lot. The 3 hours movie took 10 hours with all the pauses for history lessons for me haha. I can definitely see why it won so many awards. Fred has been trying to make jerky in our air fryer. The first round was way too salty. Sunday he changed his recipe and perfected it.

It's Secret Stitching Sweetheart time. Participants sent a heart/love theme photo to Jo. She mixed them up and passed them out for us to hide on our blogs. Then we hop through the links to find our secret stitched piece.

I hope everyone is doing good. Let's see what I worked on last week.</p><p>Monday was one of those days. I worked on my computer. Life happened. Laundry and Groceries in the evening. An annoying reminder that life can just suck sometimes type of day. But it will be okay. Just some annoying things that needed focused on that took my time away from my fun hobby.</p><p>Tuesday was more of the annoying thoughts and just couldn't shake Monday. I did get Mermaid Biscornu by Tiny Modernist out which didn't help haha. This piece annoys me. I stitch stitch stitch and I feel like I don't get anyway but pictures sure do help. I am more surprised by anything at how slow it seems to go. I added 58 stitches Tuesday...sad. So I kept it out Wednesday again.

Another Monday update. I guess that's what today is haha. Let's see what I worked on last week.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Monday and Tuesday was doctor appointment days for me. I already discussed my doctor appointment Monday. I called the OBGYN that my doc suggested for my skin tag and they had an opening Tuesday so I reluctantly made the appointment. I was just wishing they could just get it done. The lady was older and very set in her ways. She wasn't happy with a lot of my life choices and made sure to share with me. I just asked her to please take care of this problem. She definitely seen the issue and said Okay I will remove it today. I was excited until I thought about wait they need to numb me to remove this. Yep shots in a very sensitive spot like a dentist appointment injection...I came off the bed and was not happy but luckily it was numb and removed quickly. Then she did sutures and I said Wait literally with needle and thread...Yep. Weird. They dissolve which is very nice but I really wanted some pretty X's at least haha. She said no just a running stitch. It was finally over and taken care of. So no more worrying about that. Plus I don't have to return to see her. All testing was negative so no worries there. Just a weird thing that happened. She did say I could blame Jeremiah so I have a lot haha. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">All my test results from blood work and all other tests came back negative. So everything was fine except for blood pressure. My A1C (shows for diabetes) was even great. Which makes me very happy. So all clear for a go at being a healthy me. Just needed to heal from the removal of that annoying spot (finally feel mostly all better today it was sure sore). </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Tuesday I did get a few stitches into Rules for Life from Kincavel Krosses. Just 89 though.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Wednesday I kept Rules for Life out to give it the respect it deserved plus the February challenges hadn't started yet haha.

The backstitching was a pain but I love the way he turned out. 4 Days into this one now. Slow but fun. <br /></p><p>I joined the Stitchonomy Winter SAL which starts Feb 23rd. I splurged and bought complete kit which arrived safely from Germany last week. I'm looking forward to stitching that with several friends who have joined in as well. </p><p>Yesterday was officially 2 months since Bev was home the last time. She is hopefully in the rehab for her last week though. She is doing fantastic. This week she has several doctor appointments one with a local oncology to find out her next steps but hopefully this stuff will be easier than the first round in the hospital. She should be able to be home with my dad while on it. They are both very very happy about that. My dad has left the house every day for 2 months and he is exhausted. Ready to have her home. He said they aren't doing anything other than sit and nap haha. Good for them. They sure deserve it.</p><p>Yesterday was had a frustrating thing happen. Fred, me, and Spike went to a local park for a walk. It was a slightly warmer day and sunny. We were really enjoying ourselves until I seen two off leash dogs. I was worried because I didn't see the owner anywhere. Of course here they came. I'm not judgy about breeds but honestly we know some dogs are more aggressive than others. When they got closer I realized they were pit bulls. The female was smaller and wanted to play but she wanted to play a lot harder then Spike did so he verbalized to get her to stay back. The larger male who was already watching Spike closer took that as excuse to bark and show teeth. Which irritated the female and Spike. It was a blur of teeth and barking and it was very very scary. Fred grabbed Spike to get him as high as he could. Our probably 40 pound plus dog. The two other dogs were jumping and barking and snapping. She kept jumping up a licking my nose which I was glad was at least a lick but still. It was scary because I was so worried any moment biting would start. Fred pretty much ran like a football player holding Spike to get to our van. We jumped in quickly at that point breathing very heavy....All of us. I was looking for a number to call to report the incident and the owner pulled in looking for her dogs. I seen online a lady had posted looking for the two on our local FB board. </p><p>I took a deep breath (being arrested is expensive) also bottom line I care about animals and no one was hurt and stepped out of the van to show her where the dogs had ran off to. She sheepishly asked me if my dog or anyone was hurt. So in that she proved she knew they shouldn't be running loose. I said Thankfully no one was hurt. She apologized so many times. Her young son had let them outside while she was in the bathroom. She was able to get them into her vehicle and we headed home. Careful examination of Spike found a lot of slobber on his side so contact was made but luckily no bite marks on him or us. Frustrating end to a nice time that definitely could have been a totally different story. </p><p>Today...It's a new week. Hopefully lots of stitching ahead. Love yourself. Have a wonderful week. Find lots of reasons to smile. <br /></p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-46422423482264416222024-01-31T11:48:00.003-05:002024-01-31T11:48:58.056-05:00Upcoming February Goals<p>I met all my January Goals.

So he picked well. </p><p>Remember these are just for fun. So no worries if I don't keep at them. Just for a fun push. I'm also going to try to do my exercise fun daily challenge. Time to get back at it. For those who enjoy following along my challenge list I have them listed on the right side of my blog. I will check them off once I finish each one. </p><p>Let's make February a great one! I hope it goes slower than January. It was a mix of busy and nothing but health issues sure took over and added unneeded mental stress.<br /></p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-71451714104368452972024-01-29T16:54:00.001-05:002024-01-29T16:54:20.437-05:00Jan 29th Monday Update<p>You might have got a sneak peek because of the WIPocalypse post but I'm here to share my week last week anyway haha. </p><p>Monday I made progress on Winter Line Up by The Trilogy.

We ending up doing everything else. Finally put away the Christmas tree. I miss it now. Left out winter theme stuff and added a vase that lights up that my mom loved. It took place of the lights from the tree at least. So we will survive haha. We also watched a WWE PPV because it's my favorite one they do. We really only watch AEW now and we were not surprised with really not enjoying the PPV from the old company. Just so many different ways of doing things. But Jeremiah and I enjoyed our time together complaining. Fred had a radio contest so he was out in our enclosed porch. He had a blast. It was from 2pm Saturday to 2pm Sunday (of course he did take a break to sleep). He ended up with 117 contacts so he was a happy little nerd haha. </p><p>Sunday I worked on Rules for Life again.

I got the whole part by Love on the right added and a bunch of the right border. I'm actually really close on this one now. I think I will keep it up for a few days till February challenges start to see what I can get done.</p><p>I had a doctor appointment this morning. Yearly physical. I already knew the bad news. I'm fat. But there are several different ways its starting to add up. I've never had high blood pressure. Of course now I do. It was really high and probably has been for a bit. So she put me on a medicine. My liver is acting up losing weight would help. I have a skin tag that needs removed. Just frustrating and things I already knew I needed to work on are definitely being pointed out to me in different ways. But stitching hours and hours is just so much more fun I told her. So I need to work on balance and adding in my fitness again. But not letting it completely take over again. Just putting it here is helping with my accountability. I'm admitting it out loud. Time to focus on my health so I'm not my mother. I have to. So I can stitch longer. Plus be in Jeremiah's life. Time to be smart with my life choices. </p><p>Anyway I'm off. Love yourself. Take a walk haha. Smile. <br /></p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-76151147428696686032024-01-28T12:29:00.001-05:002024-01-28T12:29:12.729-05:00January WIPocalypse<p> It's the last Sunday of the month which means it's time for a WIPocalypse update. What's WIPocalypse? A fun push to finish our WIPs before the end of the world. I will hold it off forever with all my WIPs haha. I use this as an excuse to report what I've worked on the whole month and the before and after progress. I keep a journal with what I've worked on each day. On the notes I keep track of how many stitches that day and what day on the project I'm on (unless it was before my tracking days). So let's see what I've been working on so far this year and then next month I will go from here.</p><p><b><i><span style="color: #800180;">Halloween Potions - Les Petites Croix De Lucie -- 2 Days</span></i></b>.

She's doing great with her rehab. Walking with a walker now. Her vision is still spotty. After visiting we stopped at Walmart and grabbed our groceries for the week. I added 260 on Saturday and then 735 Sunday. I really enjoy this one because I outline with the Kreinik and then go back and color it in. Seems to go quickly.</p><p>Our weather has still been really frigid cold so staying inside as much as possible. Now tonight we might get an ice storm. Then supposed to get warmer and rain everyday. So our lovely snow will be replaced by yucky mud. Who knows what February brings though weather wise. Just have to wait and see. </p><p>Have a great week. Love yourself. Smile as much as possible.

Wednesday we will finally hit 23 so double digits but below freezing till next Tuesday right now. Brr is an understatement. We stay warm and cozy in our little cabin. We have 2 small electric heaters. We put plastic on our windows to keep the heat in and there was ice on one of them from the condensation freezing even. But point is we are warm inside. Just make short short trips out. Even Spike doesn't want to stay out. Well he does but his little feet get cold he settles to run back in soon.</p><p>Let's see what I worked on last week...</p><p>Monday and Tuesday I worked on Colorful Eagle by Kitty & Me. I sat a goal of 400 stitches this month on this one. Monday I added 333. Tuesday I kept it out all day because why not and hit 590 haha. I like to make small goals though in case I just don't get time on that piece. But I definitely hit my goal for the month haha. 923 in the two days...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCy9TOl1eFNxjeSwTdho2byJ0FuOLyyrVCZ3gWBG2CgwJIIwGTBa4NA5K3t8ESLCUojPxM_lYR2R7Fhnf0qZ0MGTIHtIAI41NHIWC3x0qkgDlWOTkNVDynOiYZRsgTAWphHJawtJtumOgz3R3docrIM7YZGyoG66FcB-cnY3L6xv0RCJNb54g6hPZ7qZiZ/s4080/20240109_220219.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3060" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCy9TOl1eFNxjeSwTdho2byJ0FuOLyyrVCZ3gWBG2CgwJIIwGTBa4NA5K3t8ESLCUojPxM_lYR2R7Fhnf0qZ0MGTIHtIAI41NHIWC3x0qkgDlWOTkNVDynOiYZRsgTAWphHJawtJtumOgz3R3docrIM7YZGyoG66FcB-cnY3L6xv0RCJNb54g6hPZ7qZiZ/s320/20240109_220219.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> I just had to get his eye stitched. Now he is begging me to stitch more. I have to say I just love the colors. So patriotic. So bright on the Silver Moon fabric. Love it. I don't even mind stitching with the Kreinik because it looks beautiful after. It kind of makes it like a coloring book too. I outline the area and then fill it in. Very easy to count.<p></p><p>Wednesday I did my 100 weekly on Winter Line up by Trilogy...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0FsLt1sjYUqME7pmWQ6tGglR_cgXbiSLuyk2ivw0YfeHJYAzk30KzvXzSvy6cxwH3AqgWQRaNxAQ51WtT7niP019S7lEovTJt9bkIIWtjlBkpvtEaKuZ6oRiyCHBcqCozivviQBrBhWKmQf9hqIyx91gndcNhe6XmALDPGJDUj6gv_ji5y5oanCs8ZMWZ/s3060/20240110_132630.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2363" data-original-width="3060" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0FsLt1sjYUqME7pmWQ6tGglR_cgXbiSLuyk2ivw0YfeHJYAzk30KzvXzSvy6cxwH3AqgWQRaNxAQ51WtT7niP019S7lEovTJt9bkIIWtjlBkpvtEaKuZ6oRiyCHBcqCozivviQBrBhWKmQf9hqIyx91gndcNhe6XmALDPGJDUj6gv_ji5y5oanCs8ZMWZ/s320/20240110_132630.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Actually 104 because that it what I needed to finish the adorable scarf. </p><p>After that I pulled out Christmas Celebration by Frosted Pumpkin.

I had 3 days into it already but my goal for the month was to finish him up. Thursday I added 427 and Friday I finished the stitching at 215 more. I decided not to count the backstitching this time.

Which I'm very happy for. The background is so boring haha. <br /><p>So all the goals I setup for January are finished other than two more weeks of adding 100 to Winter Line Up. Wohoo!!!</p><p>I'm going to make a list of 20 WIPs for a random dice roll when I have a day that I don't know what I want to work on. I really enjoyed the dice rolls in December. Of course I might keep it out longer than a goal this time around. See what I can accomplish until it gets boring haha. Then when I finish one I will replace it. This will really be fun on those random days when I made Jeremiah pick for me haha. First up today I'll get my 100 added to Winter Line Up.</p><p>Amazing Bev update. They finally got her bone marrow test done before kicking her out of the hospital. She is amazingly cancer free! This round of chemo had a 30% chance of killing the cancer and it did. Now it almost killed her but they got it. So she has transferred to the rehab to get her strength back. Her vision was affected by the strokes too but seems like each day she is seeing better. She saw the time on the clock today. I don't know yet what the future holds. I know she does have the gene that shows the cancer will come back. They suggested a bone marrow transplant with a warning of how dangerous it will be. I just don't know. Do you take a chance and wait and enjoy every day. Or go through the treatment. What a hard hard decision. Right now she is just thankful to be alive and cancer free.</p><p>We have a brutal cold week ahead like I said at the beginning so I doubt we will do anything much. So hopefully that will mean lots of stitching time. Have a fantastic week. Stay warm. Love yourself. Find a reason to smile. <br /></p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-75976742224243192042024-01-08T11:47:00.001-05:002024-01-08T11:48:25.018-05:00Jan 8th Monday Update<p> Hello readers.

Been a month now. My dad took me up two times last week. We found out she had a cluster of a dozen strokes. So that explained why she hadn't woke up or communicated for a week and a half. Luckily she woke up and was finally communicating. It seems to have affected her sight but my Uncle had a stroke bother his vision and he has regained his sight now. So the neurologist said sometimes the brain can rewire itself to be able to work around the damage. The brain is an amazing thing that's for sure. Now they are started rehab so she can get her strength back. They are also doing a bone marrow test and hopefully that shows her numbers have drastically improved. That will be the next hurdle to cross. We went up yesterday Fred, Jeremiah, and me and it was adorable how happy she was to see Jeremiah. So we are sure happy to have her awake and talking at least now. </p><p>Well I'm off to read blogs and then stitch. We have several rounds of snow coming this week and brutal cold end of the week. So perfect stitching weather. Love yourself. Enjoy stitching all the things. I sure will.

Today is time for an Intro post for WIPocalypse. Stop over <a href="https://measi.net/wipocalypse-2024-kickoff-post/">here</a> to find out more. The idea is to have fun stitching all our WIPs before the end of the world. <p></p><p><strong>Question of the Month:</strong> Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!</p>
<p><strong>Next posting date: </strong>January 28, 2024</p><p>Hello my name is Katie. I live in Indiana. I have a fantastic kiddo and am lucky enough to be happily married. We recently had a major life change after losing my mom who I was a caretaker for. We moved from a big city to my small hometown. We lived in a huge house and now live in a tiny home / cabin on a private family campground. So many changes. One very happy change though I found my love for my stitching again. Majorly. Like Addiction level haha. </p><p>I write my blog like a letter to a stitching friend because I figure that's who reads it. I work on everything and anything. Right now and for awhile I want to STITCH ALL THE THINGS! and boy it's showing haha. I update my blog regularly (or sure try to) on Monday's. Then I love to play along with excuses to blog like this one.</p><p>For this I report what I've been working on and progress made since the last time. I recently went through my many many goals. So instead of saying them all again please scroll back a few posts. Unexpectedly the Halloween group that I so loved is closing end of March but I found another fun acrostic type challenge to join and they might have some other monthly challenges too. So my list will change when I find out more information. </p><p>My goals and WIPs like to change a lot and that's okay. I'm here for me so why not do what I want to do. Right?</p><p>See you Jan 28th where I will go over everything I have stitched since Jan 1st. Have a great month!!! <br /></p><p></p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-12047095562975650552024-01-07T16:07:00.000-05:002024-01-07T16:07:21.436-05:00The People's Choice -- Designer of 2024<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis8cky6nHdQOrrVzVd2asBo6Ra3AGzQcdwos_x5MmLdORlxmBtYHJhlOJ8NuwXBW-YiWfKSmPatZjUoEy2iljScFC41j_kTLm9xXNAfZD8UuF7A7eDammFBG79pBrllpA7-BpLfOjlUPteln_KMdzOd7YRKMvcSi-N26fUhN_7XeDCBMqMPIXrFm-cGhKU/s320/You%20Choose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="222" data-original-width="320" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis8cky6nHdQOrrVzVd2asBo6Ra3AGzQcdwos_x5MmLdORlxmBtYHJhlOJ8NuwXBW-YiWfKSmPatZjUoEy2iljScFC41j_kTLm9xXNAfZD8UuF7A7eDammFBG79pBrllpA7-BpLfOjlUPteln_KMdzOd7YRKMvcSi-N26fUhN_7XeDCBMqMPIXrFm-cGhKU/s1600/You%20Choose.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The lovely Jo has had a fun blog event to join in. I missed so many and I just seen this will be the last. It does take a lot to post for but it's always fun to see what people post about. Anyway stop over to <a href="https://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-people-chose-designers-for-2024.html">her blog</a> to see who played along this time around.<p></p><p>This month is a fun one Designer of the Year. My tastes have changed lately and I'm stitching more for myself. I've definitely noticed a big change from my long time of nautical stitching for mom. I found 2 new designers lately.</p><p><a href="https://cottagegardensamplings.com/">Cottage Garden Samplings</a></p><p>I fell in love with her new series which very much surprised me because I don't normally like houses...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn23UdrsQ4SlQgfP0Y_0nsnklWDTCcOESng1l3SMPl-gVri7GByB4twPN3eKmrEUrl20bozs_VOWaQvqCjUA1p_G30xG9IUs5WDHtXUwuXtEJTBeeKqZ-gemARe1PPWzRweWjDWN2gG9Nf-OqODlrfIFjlm_RsH1GtihDbyAdm43KU1dxSiPBU1FZLZUQS/s1949/rs=w%201240,cg%20true.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1949" data-original-width="1240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn23UdrsQ4SlQgfP0Y_0nsnklWDTCcOESng1l3SMPl-gVri7GByB4twPN3eKmrEUrl20bozs_VOWaQvqCjUA1p_G30xG9IUs5WDHtXUwuXtEJTBeeKqZ-gemARe1PPWzRweWjDWN2gG9Nf-OqODlrfIFjlm_RsH1GtihDbyAdm43KU1dxSiPBU1FZLZUQS/s320/rs=w%201240,cg%20true.webp" width="204" /></a></div>I don't know why I just love these so far and I love the ideas of the ones coming next. I just can't wait to see them. I have special ordered some 40ct fabric and if I ever receive it I will finally get to start the Santa's House. So pretty. <p></p><p>The other designer is <a href="https://lepointdecroix.com/">Les Petites Croix de Lucie</a>. I found them on 123stitch.</p><p>I'm doing the Halloween Potions pattern... <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzdXI0IboyzuSqSj0zcN-VGgmtYjT9sGbw0lQXAMLsHI68lC-WOGtTElHP3nQsWp_5K8YrkwFjh6jvG0RbXWxiu4EI7rAx9zXuqouZAtN_nE_g3QgHNYFv89hB8cIPS1Xz7P3m4Jvt1Ti47WCKarywkIz47a9yzE0hg7iN1VE93bZJlJ3Xi09bWElhSUT-/s340/23-3137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="262" data-original-width="340" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzdXI0IboyzuSqSj0zcN-VGgmtYjT9sGbw0lQXAMLsHI68lC-WOGtTElHP3nQsWp_5K8YrkwFjh6jvG0RbXWxiu4EI7rAx9zXuqouZAtN_nE_g3QgHNYFv89hB8cIPS1Xz7P3m4Jvt1Ti47WCKarywkIz47a9yzE0hg7iN1VE93bZJlJ3Xi09bWElhSUT-/s320/23-3137.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Then I also found this fun Halloween chart and realized it was the same designer...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmA9AjMjRSznhHBnyrsoVYu-cnRP_wLh-jpmlk_rOFaGoZbtoUz7Uo2OF0c5hUVJJGarAtAKAF5Y5UHU0ByDEYFa0P07tpfo4xCH-acAVz-lBcwhMWpFANoMFXv6AAiosnegmhAHdlWbrykRkwTQTVhddHJzeqMvqqeay7p_BrJ73PCzPPrHKsLf0TEMpL/s340/22-2168.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="72" data-original-width="340" height="68" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmA9AjMjRSznhHBnyrsoVYu-cnRP_wLh-jpmlk_rOFaGoZbtoUz7Uo2OF0c5hUVJJGarAtAKAF5Y5UHU0ByDEYFa0P07tpfo4xCH-acAVz-lBcwhMWpFANoMFXv6AAiosnegmhAHdlWbrykRkwTQTVhddHJzeqMvqqeay7p_BrJ73PCzPPrHKsLf0TEMpL/s320/22-2168.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>I found a pattern in a magazine that I really liked.

I also have a few gnomes from this designer in my ever ending stash pile. They have a lot of really cute gnomes. These 3 above will more than likely be started this year though. </p><p>Thanks Jo for hosting this fun blog event.</p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-51031191914103904042024-01-02T17:17:00.003-05:002024-01-02T17:17:20.523-05:00WIPocalypse<p>The last Sunday every month (or as soon as you can) in the blog world a fun excuse to blog happens WIPocalypse. The purpose on this is to stitch all our WIPs before the end of the world. I have enough to keep us going forever and ever haha. I don't plan to stop unless the apocalypse happens either. Stop over to <a href="https://measi.net/december-2023-wipocalypse-check-in/">Measi's blog</a> to find the check in and find more information.</p><p>I like to use this event as a fun way to keep track of my monthly progress. So I post how many days I've spent on what projects and the progress I've made. I write in a planner what I've worked on each day. I now also keep track of stitches on each project. So I have the project, the day number for the project, and the amount of stitches for that day each day wrote down. <br /></p><p><strong>Question of the Month:</strong> Recap your accomplishments for the year! (Your finishes, your final before/after photos, etc).</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj79j9o3Kf8-rAXD7Sa43liqd1zgN-in_YZ4d3QThM96YfGyultu6En0vjcW-05wmOi5zJG8WTTrb9jYFI_TQdSPTLHeukyBita9HACejhaHFsFtuFtrZZCz5zscEYClx3EPnnwwB9mFNa_wTxYb94twhpJyNqOuLVSfk5tnbat6XsMr4dC6hK2_8w0J_Mw/s1403/Collage_2024-01-02_14_53_24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1403" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj79j9o3Kf8-rAXD7Sa43liqd1zgN-in_YZ4d3QThM96YfGyultu6En0vjcW-05wmOi5zJG8WTTrb9jYFI_TQdSPTLHeukyBita9HACejhaHFsFtuFtrZZCz5zscEYClx3EPnnwwB9mFNa_wTxYb94twhpJyNqOuLVSfk5tnbat6XsMr4dC6hK2_8w0J_Mw/s320/Collage_2024-01-02_14_53_24.jpg" width="274" /></a></div>My finishes are all in a tab above if you are interested. I am going to do a lot better record keeping in the new year (at least I have better ways to keep track now haha) so it should be easier for me to post a proper recap next year. It was definitely an overall stitching filled year and I found my LOVE for stitching again. My tastes have changed. I'm just happy. Now let's see what 2024 brings!<p></p><p><strong>See ya next time for the WIPocalypse Update...Next posting date: </strong>January 7, 2024</p>

LOL Sorry. So I belong to 3 Challenge groups now. Love them!!! Each one has monthly and yearly challenges. So let's break down what's above...<p></p><p>Yearly Challenge --</p><p>1 Mixed Up Monthly -- I picked 12 patterns. I'm starting 1 a month and hope to finish them.

I can leave or just not post any time. No worries. I want to also get back into a healthy movement/eating lifestyle. I have to for my future health. I am going to have fun. Right now these are so much fun for me. Helps me to have a purpose instead of just trying to decided what WIP is yelling loudest. They all are right now haha. So I listen when I setup my plans for my month. I gave them all a spot. Now to have fun. <br /></p><p></p><p></p>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507113532980218501.post-44434963388298020752024-01-01T11:08:00.005-05:002024-01-01T11:08:55.265-05:00Jan 1st Monday Update<p> Happy New Year Readers. Wonder what the new year will bring. It's sure my most planned stitching year. I have 3 new planners to keep track of all my fun goals and challenges. I'm in 3 Facebook groups now for stitching challenges and I love them!!! It's been a lot of fun setting it all up. But first Monday's I like to do a Monday Update. This is a look back at what I stitched in the last week.</p><p>I decided to push to see if I could finish the WIP Wrangler Challenge.

She is fighting hard and boy we are worried about her. Leukemia is a beast she has to fight hard against. The first few weeks went pretty easy and then it seems to have caught up with her. So my poor dad is having a very hard time.</p><p>My Grandmother (my dad's side) always has Christmas on Christmas Eve but decided to do it Saturday this year. Which was fine but wow what a change. So Saturday we had a lovely visit there. I have 4 cousins and 2 of us haven't talked for a few years no idea why. We even chatted a lot. I think knowing someone in the family is in the hospital made a lot of hearts closer which we all needed. It was a very lovely visit. We did video call my step mom to all share our thoughts with her and wish her Merry Christmas.<br /></p><p>Sunday was Christmas Eve and we had nothing to do. It was so weird.

Either something we have received or something we are giving. I normally have a hard time participating because so much of my stash was gifts from my mom or to my mom. But with life change I was thinking hey I might be able to join in again. Then I received 3 gifts to share with you all. So perfect...<p></p><p>I won a blog giveaway from <a href="https://stitchingdream.blogspot.com/">Stitching Dreams</a> a wonderful blog that I love reading. She had a drawing for this adorable chart.
