Beggar's Night and Do Nothing Day

So, how was your weekend?  Mine was good.

Saturday I spent a fair amount of time getting my living room and hall floors cleaned.  It took way longer than I had estimated.  But, I am happy with the result and that makes it worth all the time it took.  I'm not so happy with the wax that I used and will have to look for something else. 

I don't know about you, but I am feeling like it is time to get the house all cozied up for the months ahead.  The long time of being in at night.  I think that explains my recent bout of nesting or maybe more appropriately nestling.

Yesterday, Sunday, was what I designated as Do Nothing Day.  I had intended not to do any housework or necessary tasks.  Of course, due to my contrary nature, I couldn't help but put away several loads of laundry.  And do two more loads of laundry so that the baskets would be empty at the beginning of the week.

I did however, find some time to work on Beggar's Night.  I am pleased with the progress I made yesterday.  I hope to finish stitching this guy in the next couple of evenings.

For now he will join his other friends in the to be finished box. 

I hope to be able to sit down this weekend and put a few of these together. 

Have a thrilling Thursday.

Beggar's Night - Wednesday

Here is a little picture of what I accomplished last night.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Beggar's Night - Monday Update

I made more progress on Beggar's Night yesterday.  I've moved beyond the Pumpkin Pie and am adding some other colors.

Maybe I can start on the pumpkin tonight.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Beggar's Night - Progress

I was able to spend some time last evening stitching.  And, I made some progress on Beggar's Night by Threadwork Primitives.  And, not too much frogging this time, and I have the border done.

 

Have a wonderful Sunday.  It looks like a beautiful, sunny, autumn day here today.

Here is a little progress update on the piece I keep in my bag to stitch at lunchtime, waiting at the doctor's office, and other odd times that I'm away from home.  This is the seventh piece in the series.  I do have other 6 stitched.  I'll have to show those another day.

Beggar's Night Progress

I've spent a couple of evenings working on Beggar's Night by Threadwork Primitives.  I had made more progress.  Wednesday night just when I thought I had the border done, it was off by . one . stitch.  A mistake I had made in the top it turns out.  So the result you see here is what I had left after some major frogging.  But I am ready to start in fresh again tonight.

Please excuse the wrinkles. 

Thanks for stopping by.
