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 ...

Setting a Record

Two posts in three days! Yes, I do believe this is a record. I have been merrily stitching along and finished my little blue owl. Blue Owl on Branch (Cherry Hill Stitchery) He's just so adorable. The lighting here gives this a pink/orange look, but it's actually a light gray Jobelan. I really do like this fabric. It's so soft that it works well whether I use the frame or just roll it as I'm stitching. I imagine this might be more difficult with large projects, but for these small projects it's really great. As soon as I finished this up, I just had to go digging through my stash to see what new project I could start to fill in the space in my WIPs bag. Of course I replaced one project with two new ones. First up. Dragonfly Ornament (Mill Hill) Summer themes continuing here. I think I put in about 30 minutes on this sorting thread and getting the basic stitches done. The majority of what remains is the beadwork and backstitch. ...
