Preparing for the Blizzard

I hope all my stitchy friends in New England are able to stay home and watch the snow pile up for the next two days. I know I've got my current projects all lined up and ready to stitch. I'm hoping to make some good progress this weekend thanks to the 2+ feet of snow they say we'll be getting. Sadly this week has been a bit of a disappointment on the progress front. I've been a bit distracted by some issues at work and the need to do a bit of straightening up around the house plus a little bit of reading. Do any of you use Goodreads? Is anyone else doing the 2013 reading challenge? Last year I found myself reading a lot to escape from the stress of work so I set myself a challenge of 150 books this year. So far, I think I'm doing pretty well despite less time in hotels, planes and airports where I tend to get quite a bit of reading done.

I'll post a bit more later as the storm progresses - maybe a few non-stitchy pictures to mix things up a bit and show you what Storm Nemo looks like from central Mass.

Thanks for reading!

Some Summer Finishes

Hello Everyone! Ahhh summer. So many distractions, so little time. I am still stitching away here in toasty warm Massachusetts, but I've sadly been neglecting all my followers and not updating you on the progress. What can I say? Is a picture worth 1000 words? Sorry to say the computer just doesn't make it down to the beach or the pool - sand, water, electronics - bad combination. But, now that I'm back at my desk I can diligently share with you all the wonderful progress I'm making on my never-ending list of projects. Mill Hill Dragonfly Such a summery little guy. Although a close up would be better you can kind of get an idea of the excellent teal and lime green colors on this one. Lizzie Kate Green Flip-It Save Water The third one I've finished in the series - I should have bought all 6 patterns! I think this one goes in the kids bathroom. Every little reminder I can get in before they jump in the shower for 30 minute...

Have I Forgotten How to Write a Blog Post?

Wow...so five plus years has gone by since my last post. I'm trying to remember how to even find my voice for a blog post. Can you forget how to write a post??? I'm honestly not quite sure where the time has gone although it's been busy with getting my oldest son off to college, my other son just about ready to go to college and my daughter through some skating ups and downs. Not to mention work, house, life in general. Admittedly, these other intrusions caused a lapse in my stitching. For, oh, about 3 years! I managed to get a few months of stitching in last year but it was fairly short-lived. There were a couple finishes in 2017 though. Little House Needleworks - Music & Books ...

Pre-Father's Day Check-in

I hope all of you celebrating with the fathers in your life have a wonderful weekend coming up. We're just grateful there is some hope of sun this weekend. It's been so cold and wet for June so far that even mid-70s sounds fabulous as long as there is some sun. I thought I'd try a quick pre-weekend check-in and quick update on some of the in-progress pieces. My little dragonfly is coming along nicely. The turquoise threads and beads are beautiful on this little guy. Hopefully if the sun comes out this weekend we'll see some of the real ones flitting around the garden! Green Flip-It Save Water (Lizzie Kate) This one is coming along nicely as well. Just have to finish up that watering hole at the bottom and this can join my Eat Locally finish on the kitchen wall. Although maybe it belongs in the kids bathroom right near the shower... Quartet of Penguins (Lanarte) Yes, there will eventually be 4 penguins on here. Three in progress...
