I spent way too much time on my phone yesterday instead of stitching. Today, free time will be not playing games but stitching instead!
I did add a row or two to the crochet blanket. I find if I do too many rows at a time my hand cramps, so I'll pick this one up again and work on a row a night to keep it moving.
Brimfield Awakening project changed slightly, in that I think I will work on it with the RSC. That is the thought right now anyway. I do have a bunch of colors in blues, teals and purples and greens prepped already. I need to add 3 more of the yellow peels then hook them together with the black tall houses to form a circle. These are using EPP.
Cross Stitch - the main stitching is done. Now it is the finishing outlining and there is a ton on this project. I forgot how long it takes to do that! Now that I am back home with my good lighting I hope to move this one along this week.
I found that my blog reading list was not updating correctly on my blog as of 5 days ago. I tried all the things (emptied the cache, tried a different browser, etc.). Nothing worked so I had to reset up the blog list icon. I did that this morning while watching the F1 race. I texted Aidan a few times as he is watching it at college. He did go to his first UF football game yesterday and had a great time. He is loving college life and the freedom.
I have an idea of the meals for the week as no one gave me ideas other than my Mom's spaghetti sauce from Greg. I do need to grab a few things from the store at some point - out of onions and garlic! Yikes. Thankfully I don't need much but a few veggies and some fruits other than apples. We have plenty of apples!
Last night I made chicken broth with a roaster chicken carcass, and made chicken noodle soup for them and some pinto beans with corn bread for me. I'm not a chicken noodle soup person but both of them have colds, and like it. The chickens got the things used to make the broth - they love those days!
Sunday - spaghetti sauce and salad (greg grows me lettuce!)
Monday - pork schnitzel, roasted potato and a veggie
Tuesday - shrimp scampi
Wednesday - leftovers (I have a meeting with pot luck)
Thursday - Risotto and a veggie.
Emily is late on Tues, Thurs and Friday with marching band, so she'll probably have something else as I know she dislikes both of those meals!
Now to search and find where the heck I put the leaf quilts for decorating for fall. I found a handful of them but am missing 2!
My blog sites haven't updated for a couple or more weeks not--I just know which ones to check every day and on Sundays I check on them all--others are having a problem too--so it must be blogger!!--Your fall cross stitch is looking good--and I know what you mean about the back stitching--have a good week--hugs, di
ReplyDeleteVarious people on blogger have said that they are having issues so you are not alone - I don't know what all the problems are though. I'm on my phone too much lately and I have to tell myself to stop scrolling - I never used to be like that.
ReplyDeleteYou are making lovely progress on your projects, Deb. The afghan is so pretty and will be warm and cozy come winter time. I have had the same problems with blogger this week. Ugh. I hope you find your Autumn quilts. Enjoy decorating for the season. Hugs
