Thursday

I got the groceries.  I'm sure I forgot some things but couldn't bring myself to take the time to make a list.  I did get the cat food and treats - so some little girls should be happy.

I finished stitching Theodore's legs.  I can begin to fill in the details at lunch and after work tonight.   I have been invited for dinner and stitching at a friend's house.  I am looking forward to that!

I'm happy with my progress so far this week.

I am looking forward to the weekend.    My plan is to attempt to stitch 24 hours out of 48 on Saturday and Sunday.  I will need to get up and walk and will do a lap around the neighborhood after I've been stitching for two hours.

Keep on Stitching!

Wednesday

No stitching progress to show for yesterday.  I didn't sleep well on Tuesday night and was only wanting to sleep once I got home from work.   And I gave in and slept.  I felt more rested when I got up this morning.

Here are a couple of pictures from our recent vacation to Keuka Lake in New York.  We had a week of wonderful weather.  The views from the house were stunning.  I realized when we were leaving that I would miss that view.  I also realized that we didn't turn on the tv and that I hadn't eaten in the house all week.

the small house is a Honeymoon Cottage that was part of the property we rented, but we didn't rent that little piece

We visited with family and I saw all my siblings while we were away.  And my aunt, uncle, and cousins, too.  My heart was truly full.   I am blessed I am to have such a loving family.

I did visit Expressions in Needlearts in Canadaigua when I was there.  A little bit of stash acquisition happened.  Pictures of my finds are below.

I can't figure out why the last picture is oriented that way.  I'm not able to turn it and turning it before I uploaded it doesn't help.  Sorry about that - more technical difficulties.

It's off to the grocery store for me and then home to hopefully do a little stitching on Theodore.

Keep on Stitching!

Theodore Has Pants!

I had a good evening of stitching last night and managed to get Theodore's pants stitched.

I think I'm putting the picture in correctly this time!

Tonight I hope to get his legs stitched and maybe start of filling in some of his stripes and other details.

Keep on Stitching!

More Progress

I made a bit more progress on Theodore last night.  I'm not sure that you can see the picture from yesterday's post. (I've done a bit of fiddling so you should be able to see the picture from yesterday's post in that post now!)  Let's hope this one is better.  My photos go from my phone to Amazon Prime Photos and I'm not quite sure how to retrieve them to have them appear here.  

I have made progress on his pants but have a long way to go.  I hope to finish his pants (or maybe they're shorts?) tonight and move on to his legs.

I'm home this morning waiting for an inspector to come.  So, may get some time to stitch before the inspector arrives and I head off to work.

Keep on Stitching!

Hello!

It's been a while.

I have been toying the with idea of becoming a Flosstuber.  I have now decided against that.  As with so many things on the internet there are people out there that ruin the fun.  You know the stalkers, etc.
Reading posts from other Flosstubers about their experiences has helped me decide to stick to blogging.

I have been gone for a bit.  Let's just say that life has been a little busy and let it go at that.

I have been working on Theodore from the Animal Cracker Series by Stacy Nash. My progress so far.

I have welcomed these purrbabies into my home.  They were born on March 15.  They are growing like crazy and are a bit spoiled.

  Tilly is the calico and Tess is the black and white.  They gave gained a pound and a half in the month that they have been living with me.  Their story is that they were born in New York state.  My aunt posted a picture of a box of kittens on Facebook.  I asked here about the calico.  She thought she would been keeping that one.  A few weeks later she texted me to say that I could have her if I wanted.  We made arrangements for me to pick her up in mid-May.  In the meantime, she became attached to her sister, Tess and I was given the opportunity to bring both of them to live with me.  I didn't want Tilly to be lonely so Tess came along too.  I must say that I enjoy these purrbabies immensely and am constantly entertained by their antics.

That's about all for today.
