Saturday Update

It's Saturday and a beautiful day here in Pennsylvania.  A bit humid, but it is September and likely to be humid a good part of the month.

Last night I put that last stitches in Summer by Blackbird Designs shown below.

And I resurrected this guy from the WIP pile.  It's the 1994 Santa by Prairie Schooler.  I think this is one of the oldest things to be stitched in my stash. He is the Santa with sunflowers.  I hope to put in some of the details tonight.  I had already done about half of the red you see here before I picked it up again last night.  I don't want you to think that I'm that speedy or sleep deprived.

 I did meet my stitchy friends for lunch yesterday.  We had a wonderful time.  I think some people were curious about what we were finding so funny - I noticed several people walk past us several times to see what was going on.  A wonderful afternoon.  I had to leave so I could see Mr. S before he left for the shore for the weekend.

Also, got one on other mission accomplished yesterday which was a haircut.  I should have taken a picture when I got home yesterday because what I have done today bears little resemblance to the way I looked when I left the stylist yesterday!

I'm off to the high school football game.  I don't know who is playing and don't even understand the game  - just know I need to go to as one of the drama moms to help out with a fundraiser for the drama club.

Hope you enjoy the rest of  your day. 

The Weekend Is Here

Well, I'm off from work today so my weekend has officially begun.  I planned it so that I can have a four day weekend (a little greedy, I know) and I think I'll be at home.

So, weekend plans.  I am meeting some of my stitchy friends for lunch at Panera later today.  Always good to see them. 

I would like to get some work done on Summer by Blackbird Designs. I do not have much stitching left to complete this part.  I hope to finish it up this weekend.  That way I'll be ready when the second part is released this month.  For this I used fibers that were in my stash a mix of DMC and the called for Weeks Dye Works.  The fabric is a substitution provided by The Silver Needle since the suggested fabric was on backorder.  I'm not sure what this is called but I like it.

This arrived from here this week.  However, the fabric is on backorder so I'll have to drool over this for a bit longer.

I'm working on a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt and would like to add the next row of hexies to these blocks before the weekend is over. 

And then, of course, there are all the usual home tending things that I had hoped to get done during the week but didn't. 

Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.  Keep stitching.
