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!
