Jan 29th Monday Update

You might have got a sneak peek because of the WIPocalypse post but I'm here to share my week last week anyway haha. 

Monday I made progress on Winter Line Up by The Trilogy. Day 7 added 213 on it...

After that I rolled my 20 sided dice to see what project to pull out. Woof Block Party by Hands on Designs was picked. I started it in November 2020. I haven't worked on it since. Here is where I was with it...

Monday I added 165. Tuesday I added 604. I have 4 days into it now...

The fabric is 28ct Carmel Macchiato Jobelan from Stephanie Fabrics. I'm using the plain DMC threads for it. It's funny because it seems to go so slow. I'm happy with my progress. Any progress is better than letting it hide in my WIP tote since 2020 haha.

Wednesday I rolled again and pulled out Peppermint Sleds. I was only 36 stitches away from finishing Sled 2 of the 3. So I knew I would finish it quickly. Then I finished the cardinal one too. It took 432 stitches...

So 2 more finishes to add to my page. Wohoo! Plus they are on display proudly for the winter season. 

Thursday was a new start Acorn Gnome another Jim Shore Mill Hill kit. Here is what this one will look like...

I added 339 for Day 1...

Over the weekend I decided Rainbow Dragon from Paine Free Crafts deserved some time. Friday I added 267...

Saturday I only added 18 stitches haha. 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. 

Sunday I worked on Rules for Life again. It was a lazy day so I added 809 stitches!!!

If you want you can look at yesterday's post. 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.

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. 

Anyway I'm off. Love yourself. Take a walk haha. Smile.

Monday Update

 Hi all. I sure hope everyone is doing great. It's almost December?!? I just can't believe it. I have started shopping but I'm not ready for December yet. I just need it to slow down a bit. I love Christmas and I'm not ready for it just yet. I hope soon. I need to put away my fall/Halloween decorations I guess. Time to get the winter/Christmas stuff out. Wow what a year as everyone keeps saying.

We had a very nice Thanksgiving just us 4 and that's okay. We ate ourselves miserable. Yes I gained 4 pounds haha. Don't worry I've lost 2 already. 

I also got to stitch quite a bit...I had started the July.....yes yes July fairy. I just wasn't feeling it. I think it's because I'm mad that I want them done and NOW. Tuesday I picked it up again and finally fell in love with her again...

Then Friday I started the last Naughty November New start...


Woof Block Party from Hands on Designs I got a lot of time in Friday and was having fun working on it...

Saturday I was busy. Mom and I went to get groceries cause they were talking about a big snow storm today. (We got missed...*pout*) Then I came home and did some online shopping for Christmas. Best part is I had saved up vouchers for Amazon so after spending over $300 it was all free. Wohoo!! Now that's my kind of shopping. If only all of it could be that way right?

Sunday I got a little bit more added to the block party...

Love that little dog!!! Then I heard the fairy crying again for more attention. I picked her back up and added another half hour until my eyes couldn't handle it any more. I need new glasses. Mine are all scratched up and I've noticed my eyes are getting really tired in the evening. Time to get new ones. 

Have a great week ahead. Love yourself. Love each other. Stay healthy. Hope we all find time for those wonderful X's.
