I finished my Stitch Quarterly project from Fat Quarter Shop over the weekend! For about five minutes I was considering being super lazy and not stitching the border. After doing a couple of test leaves I decided they weren't as fiddly as I thought they might be and had them all done in no time. I'm so glad I did because I really love the way it turned out!

I love these Stitch Quarterly kits! They come with everything you need, right down to the needle, plus a matching project bag and other fun goodies. This one included a cute hedgehog needle minder (presently stuck on my fridge!) and a pair of scissors.

As soon as we've finished the laundry and had some lunch, my plan is to do some finish finishing. That is, if a certain small puppy will cooperate and not insist on Mom's undivided attention.

Mom? Mom! Hellooooooo???

MOOOMMMMM?!?!?!

Still Truckin' Along

Long time no blog! I am slowly getting things back together after this years hurricane season. Helene wasn't too bad here in central Florida but Milton? Yikes! He made a mess of things! A huge tree came down just across the street from me, taking out our power and blocking the road. I can't tell you how scary that was! Both Aida and me ended up having to take sedatives to make it through the night! They had our power back on in about 48 hours so that wasn't too bad considering the amount of work it took to remove the tree and install new poles and lines. Internet was another story. It was a good week before our service was restored. It was such a pain trying to drive anywhere to use WiFi that I mostly stayed home and did a lot of reading. My brother happened to be in town (not sure if that was good timing or bad!) staying at my dad's so I went over one day and helped him clean out the pool and repair some fence panels. For all the mess and inconvenience, I know it was nothing compared to what other people endured. I can count myself lucky!

On to lighter topics... I did get some stitching done!

August Truckin' Along

I love the vintage truck and sunflowers so much! Definitely one of my favorite finishes this year!

I subscribed to Fat Quarter Shop's Stitch Quarterly club and have been working on their September kit. It's been a really fast stitch and I'm hoping to finish it soon!

 

Aida is running out of puppy patience so I better click publish on this blog post and pay her some attention!

Thanks for stopping by!
