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??

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!

Sep 2nd Monday Update

 I totally forgot to update last week. My brain haha. Let's have a fun look back at the last two weeks of stitching...

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday the first week I worked on finishing up Summer Quaker by Primrose Cottage

 Friday the 22nd I added Weeks 33 and 34 to the Peppermint Purple 2025 SAL...

I also added 284 to the 2025 Lola Crow Extraordinary Birds SAL... 

Over the weekend no stitching was done. I had a lovely date day with Fred on the 23rd. 

Last week Tuesday I worked on Noel Gnomes by Jardin Prive...

Getting close and I really want to finish this one up.

Wednesday I worked on Trick or Treat by Luminous Fiber Arts. Only added 106 then put it down to work on something else... 

Thursday I did the same thing with the Honey Bee Mill Hill Kit. Just 100 added to the wings...

 

I was trying both days to get some added to the Summer Time by NY Dreamer. I added 429 at least...

 I doubt it and When I Think of Summer by Puntini Puntini will be done in time for Fall but that's okay. So many lovely pieces screaming for attention.

I got 49 little stitches added to Creepy Christmas Village by Lola Crow before everyone showed up for Labor Day weekend. It was fun. Crazy and I'm exhausted but it was a fun way to celebrate the final big camping weekend. 

September is here! Wow. We have a fun vacation planned for end of the month. Our 2nd vacation without my mom. So weird but we are really looking forward to it. Sault Ste Marie, MI and Mackinac. Places my mom loved. Fred has only spent a few days in both places so it will be fun to have a week and a few days to relax and enjoy lots of things. We are so excited. If you want please check out my Flosstube for a peek at my September goals for challenge.
