Wednesday Update

 I've been busy the past few days and haven't had much stitching to post. But today is the day.

I had a three day weekend last weekend.  I had planned to get lots of stitching done.  Friday I was off so that my dishwasher could be delivered. I was getting things done around the house and the dishwasher was delivered without incident. 

I went outside to empty the garbage and found that I had locked myself out of the house.  Forutnately, it was a beautiful day and I was able to enjoy sitting in the sun until someone came home.  I kept thinking while I was sitting there that that would have been a great time to be stitching.  In fact, that was the first question someone asked me about the incident - did I have my stitching. Somehow, I managed to fritter away the rest of Friday without any stitching.

And more of the same on Saturday, without the getting locked out part.  I did do my Fall decorating.  It's too dark today to take pictures to show that.  Hopefully, it will be lighter tomorrow and I can do that then.

I did read How to Knit a Love Song by Rachel Herron over the weekend.  Each time I read a book about knitting I want to be a knitter.  Only thing is that the gauge thing trips me up every time.  Unless it's a project where gauge doesn't matter a lot, like a scarf, I'm out of luck.  I am going to go and watch someone else knit one of these days to see if I can see where my problem is.  I may even have to take a lesson.

I did get some stitching done on Sunday and finished stitching A Very Merry Autumn.  I hope to get this put together this coming weekend.  Actually, I had hoped to do that last weekend, but I would have had to finish the stitching before Sunday night.  

I decided over the weekend that I would like to choose one of my projects to focus on - meaning that's the one I work on exclusivelly while at home.  I chose An Open Heart by The Drawn Thread.  Here is my progress so far.  I am finding this piece to be a lot of fun and a tad addictive.  Each little motif is a different stitch and last night I found myself wanting to do just "one more" before I went to bed. 

Tonight is stitching at a friend's house.  I made brownies last night to take there tonight.  Not sure which project I'll take, but I have all day to figure that out.

Keep Stitching!
