STNA Blog Hop #15

Hello Fellow Stitchy Friends!

I'm going to attempt to participate in the blog hop to try to get this blog up and running.  I'm new to this so bear with me while I attempt this.

Here's the prompt for this round:
Eventually there comes a time when you’re not feeling well, whether it’s the flu or a cold or something else entirely. The question is, do you manage any stitching when you’re under the weather or does it just have to wait for better days?

Most of the time when I'm under the weather I find myself doing more stitching!  This has to be because I finally have a little quiet time to sit and stitch when I have the excuse of not feeling well.  Otherwise I'm working, running the kids around, cleaning the house, cooking, too many things to even begin to talk about.  I try to make an effort to get a little stitching in every day even when I'm feeling fine, but some days I'm just so exhausted the last thing I can do is look at 32 ct linen! 

As a matter of fact, I look forward to those days when I'm feeling cold enough or just "off" enough to warrant staying curled up with my stitching, a cup of tea, and a good book or movie.  I know once summer comes around and the outdoor activities are calling to me I will see my stitching slow down.  


So, yay for the winter season and a few stay inside and stitch days, even if it does come with a little bit of a cold or viral bug.  Let's just hope it stays away from full-blown flu since that might actually put an end to my productive hibernation time.


Thanks for reading! Until next time...

  1. I'm on my latest stitching bug craze, and I'm somewhat worried summer as well. I'm sure it will slow down my stitching time, but I hope I don't get the urge to abandon it altogether.

    Wouldn't it be lovely if we had mandatory stitch time every day? ;)

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                                   ...

Wrapping Up May and Kicking Off June

Hello fellow stitchers! I hope you all had a great weekend.  It was toasty warm here in MA this past weekend.  Since I refuse to turn the A/C on in the house before July (it is New England after all), it was a whopping 90 degrees in our house on Saturday.  Quite warm. But, we are back to 70 degrees, overcast skies and some rain today.  In all seriousness, it was a great weekend to be outside sitting at the pool and the kids had a blast swimming this early in the season.  We were also busy with some other activities including my daughter's bridging ceremony for Girl Scouts up to Juniors.  I can't believe she'll be in 4th grade next year! Yikes!  All this is by way of explanation for the lateness of my May wrap-up post.  So I'm combining the wrap-up with a kick-off for June. In stitching news, May was in fact the biggest month for finishes this year for me.  Eleven in total!  Yay!!!  So, for the year the record looks like: January...
