No Stitching to Share

Because of this tonight




Just about ready for the move tomorrow.  Probably no stitching to share tomorrow either.

Have a great day.

A Finish and A Start

Welcome Back!

I finished stitching Trick or Treat this evening.  It took a little more than time than I thought.
I didn't take a lunch today because I took the morning off to tend to some moving chores.  I did stitch a little while waiting for my number to be called at the DMV or MVC as it's now called in New Jersey.  I watched an episode of Madam Secretary when I got home from work and finished the stitching.


So into the bin of shame this one goes until I get the unpacking done and feel like I can dedicate some time finishing.

And a new start - the next one in the series called Night Song.  A very little start and it looks like I went a little off the reservation with my fabric choice.  I'm going to keep it.


I had a busy morning.  I went to the new house to meet the wifi guy and the mattress delivery people. While I waited I unpacked my car - again.  This time it was my hanging clothes , well most of them and some things for the stitching room.  I had time to clean the bathrooms while I waited and to thoroughly clean the refrigerator.  Those were the last tasks I wanted to complete before the move over the weekend.  Of course, I have lots of packing to do here.  I'm confident I'll get it done.

Thanks for stopping by.

So Close

I am almost finished with Trick or Treat. Just a few more stitches on the candy corn and one or two more the the star-like shapes. I should be able to finish it off at lunchtime tomorrow.



Thanks for stopping by.

January 10



This is going to be a quick one.

Here is a picture of another finish Blackbird's Winter Delivery by Blackbird Designs.  The backing is the same fabric as the front.



I'll try to post the next few days but they'll be short ones as I'm in full moving mode.  Lots of boxes left to pack.

Thanks for stopping by.

Monday

Back to work today.  A change of pace from the weekend's activities involving packing and moving.  Physically  a bit less challenging.

I've made a  little more progress on Trick or Treat.  I'll show that tomorrow.

For today I'm sharing another one of my finishes.

This one is Coverlet Berry Scissor Tray by The Scarlett House.  This is a class piece from Summer School at The Attic in 2015.


We learned how to make the strawberries in class. One is stuffed with lizard litter and other with emery to sharpen needles.

Here is a picture of just the tray.


This was a pretty easy finish since the the mat board was precut.  I really enjoyed stitching and finishing this piece.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have  a great day!

January 8

Sunday.  The last day of the weekend.

It's been a busy one for me.  As you know I am packing and getting ready to move.  And then there is the shopping of things like curtains. I must admit that I am getting excited to move.  And get settled.

On one of my breaks today I did a little more on Trick or Treat.



It looks like a lot but wasn't really.  Only one episode of Chance on Hulu.

I loaded the car and took a bunch of stuff to the new house.  And I've loaded the car again so I can drop off another load after work.  

I did a little blog reading tonight to see what everyone is up to.  My consensus is that we are all cold!  My friend texted me to tell me that it was 11 here this morning.  We went out later this morning and it was 23 but very, very windy.  Take your breath away windy.  

Keep warm.

Have a great day!

Saturday

This has not been a lazy Saturday.  I had some errands to do.  Then I really needed to begin packing for the move.  I made great progress on that today and hope to do more tomorrow.

I rewarded myself by taking a little time to put a few stitches in Trick or Treat by Blackbird Designs.  This is how it looks tonight.


Love the candy corn.  

It's been a busy day.  I'm off to bed.  

I'll check in tomorrow.

Have a great day!
