Weekly update November 28th, 2021

Hi Everyone,

Not a lot to share this week.

Tuesday we went to get the last minute items for our meal... came home to find that a bird had hit one of our tractor house windows.  It was a Ruffed Grouse. So Wednesday was spent getting a new pane of glass and doing the repair work.

Thanksgiving was nice.. Had a quiet day with DH and Mom.

Friday woke up early walked Macey in the rain. Slept a little more and then spent the rest of the day sneezing with a  runny nose. 

My post is a little late today as I was cleaning up our living room - new loveseat arrives tomorrow (old one was a pull out from 2004).

Stitching:

On Friday, I finished the stitching and backstitches on:
Winter Bullfinch kit from MP Studia 0-039.
Using the supplied threads on plywood.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just have to assemble it. Looking for my beads or jingle bells to add to the running stitch.

 

 

 

 

 

Started a quick Seka stained glass ornament on perforated paper but couldn't get a picture today. (It was put away before I remembered).LOL!  

Stash:

Weekly update November 14th, 2021

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick update today.

Stitching:

My allergies/ head cold has me stitching less this week. I'm not sure but it might be something in the plywood of this kit. So I'm trying to get it finished quickly before I get to the point of placing it in time out. I woke up earlier this week with a bloodshot eye (only one) and lots of sneezing. Normally my allergies are bad this time of year -we've had a lot of rain and the leaves are decaying..so that doesn't help. Good news is that we had a brief dusting last night and more on the way tonight, so hoping that it's enough to make life bearable again. We've had frost several nights but the warmer temps in the day make things worse.

Crazy Annie's lady dot finishing kit  - November

This is the last kit for the year.  

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure what I'll sign up for next year - I have several things I'm waiting for that aren't automatics. I did see another exclusive Annie Beez (this time stockings) coming next year.. so maybe I'll sign up for that one.

Went South for some shopping early in the week. Stopped at Barnes & Noble..had some gift cards to use.. so I bought DH some puzzle books and I found this magazine. I was interested in the 3D Greenhouse.

Until my next update,
Have a wonderful week!

Weekly update November 7th, 2021

Hi Everyone,

Not a lot to show this week... I prepped some fabric for upcoming projects and had a few days of very little or no stitching.

DH's birthday was on Tuesday.

Thursday we went shopping for a new recliner for him and a couple of new wood kitchen chairs. Also had to stop in at our TV system place as our TV can't do a firmware update and it hasn't been able to access internet since 1 year ago.
