The Yarn Stash

May 29, 2023

I think it's the stash of beautiful yarn wanting to be made into sweaters that is calling me back to knitting. Yesterday when Vince and I were talking about whether I would continue knitting, I said "At least I should have the yarn I need for the rest of my days." He said "Does that mean I won't see any yarn arriving here?" I told him . . not necessarily because there could be a time when I would ...

The Longarm

May 29, 2023

Probably 8 years ago or more, I sold the longarm I had and bought a new one. For the few years before I did that, I was quilting a lot. Then I bought the new one and even though I loved it, my quilting mojo was gone and I think in the time that I've had the new machine, I quilted three tops on it. I had wanted to sell it before we left Texas and Vince didn't want to. He was sure I'd get the ...

Knitting!

May 28, 2023

I keep "grab and go" bags for everything. I have one for the dogs that has an empty bowl with a lid and a quart jar of freeze dried food, which is enough to last them a few days, two extra bowls for food and two extra bowls for water, extra harnesses, leashes, small blankets, their heartworm and flea meds (I actually use the ones out of the bag each month and put a new one in the bag), treats, ...

More Progress – For the Love of Nature

May 28, 2023

Today is the last day of the May Madness challenge . . I think! The final round was three days, ending at 9 p.m. my time tonight.

Two days I used free passes because there were other things going on around here. If I take those two days out, I stitched an ...

Little Oscar – Good Boy/Bad Boy!

May 27, 2023

This morning I was just getting ready to start stitching. Sat down, getting the frame positioned just right, getting the light in the perfect spot, floss ring handy but out of Oscar's reach. Almost read to start stitching and he kept wanting to play. We had already played with his little food "game" where the food is placed under different lids and he has to open the lids to get the food. I can't ...

Progress on For the Love of Nature

May 27, 2023

Yesterday I made really good (for me) progress on this project (For the Love of Nature by Teresa Kogut) Most of the progress was on the big red house. I stitched a bit more last night after taking the picture. I changed the smoke to white lightning, as suggested by a reader and I do believe that color is going to be the answer to a lot of color issues I have with light floss showing up ...
