I seriously need help. I seem to be the worst at picking out a comfy stitching chair. What do you all use and what do you recommend? Remember, I have Oscar and Cooper. They're usually sitting with me but they sit on the foot part of the recliner. They get up to go out, especially Cooper, at least hourly. I have to get up several times an hour to see what they're into. So, it has to be ...
January, 2025 Stitching Report
I'm going to try to make monthly reports -- keep myself accountable! My goal for each day's stitching is to make at least 400 stitches. There were only three days I didn't stitch at least 400 stitches but most days I stitched a few more than 400 stitches. I stitched 14,144 stitches in January so that was an average of 456 stitches per day. I'm happy with that! My 2025 stitching plans ...
Backyard Eggs
Not my backyard but my friend down the street - her backyard eggs. It was so nice to have an omelette from eggs that were about 24 hours old! I'm back to loving breakfast again. Here's everything set up assembly line style, which seems to work great for me and my absent mindedness. Not virtue signaling here (do I have to keep saying that? Probably!) Front row: whole wheat bread ...
Hope and Love Progress
Can you all help with colors for the house? When I started this project, I hoped to have it finished by the end of January. Slim chance Zero chance but I'm never right on the dates I think I'll finish a project. Here's where I stopped last night. Here's the pattern cover so you can see the house. It's pretty much a basic house. My flowers are a little more pink. I used all my ...
My Former Friend – The Freeze Dryer!
I guess I'm not a very forgiving friend! :) The hamburger halves finished up in the freeze dryer Monday night very light. I placed the burgers in the jars, vacuum sealed them and left the freeze dryer to defrost overnight. Tuesday (yesterday) I filled the four freeze dryer trays. Two with eggs, two with the little hamburger "pucks" I had made in the Super Cube cookie trays (for the dogs ...
New Year Sampler Progress
You may remember that I could not find the container of floss for the New Year Sampler project so I ordered more silks from Vikki Clayton. Some day I will come across the lost container of floss and will use it for something else, though I am not certain that I didn't add it back to the silk floss stash if I didn't have the floss container labeled. Since this was one of the first projects I worked ...
