| "Autumn at Sunflower Ridge" by Woolly Ewe Designs. |
This week has been a slow one- just relaxing and enjoying the lazy first days of fall.
Monday Mr. Pinker and I went to the grandbaby's ballgame ; it was a double header. They won one and lost one.
Afterwards we went to the Dollar General to pick up some milk, and look! EEEH ! SANTA MUG ALERT !!!🎅 This little guy was $3.00 and holds 17 ounces.
I also purchased these 2 ornaments. Our Dollar General is just starting to put out a bit of Christmas.
Tuesday was another slow day of quilting . I am determined to make headway on my Easter Quilt .
Later in the evening , I went to more Dollar Generals- no Christmas at those at the other end of the county.
On Wednesday , I went pear picking. I have the dehydrator working now on pear slices. They will make great snacks especially come winter time.
So today is Embroidery Thursday. I will be working on a little Gingerbread piece. I color tinted it , but am still on the fence about it. So I will finish it and then decide if I want to make another.
I am a little late on sharing my To Do List, but I am going to share just the same. 😀
Did I Get er' Done? Well.... Last week's goals were:
🧵 Work on the embroidery work on the Cheri Payne Santa blocks. I am quite smitten with these Santas. Thank you so much, Joan for this pattern.
🧵 Create Camping Block
🧵Work on Witchy Woman cross stitch. I have been working on this one for 2 years now. I do need to complete it.
🧵Begin a new Mason Jar Cross stitch.
🧵FFO 2 more cross stitches
🧵Spend at least 15 minutes a day quilting on the Easter Quilt.
STAY TUNED ON WHETHER OR NOT I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ON COMPLETING THIS LIST. Finger crossed. 🤞

ReplyDeleteDH and I are on the peninsula of FL, waiting for the hurricane to pass and then go back to the campground. I'm doing an inventory of my fabric stash so I know how much more I can buy - errr.....how much I have :-)
Blessings
Stay safe, dear Donna. It has been so heart breaking to hear the devastation on the news. How fun that you are getting to inventory your fabric though. I bet you are dreaming of projects as well. Lol. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteYou make me tired with all your activities, Melisa! If you are in the aftermath of Ian, please stay safe.
ReplyDeleteLol thank you so much, Robin. I have felt pretty lazy though, but I guess I have accomplished a pretty good amount. The weather forecast was calling for rain this weekend, but we will see. I always worry about the winds being surrounded by trees. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteThat pineapple banana nut bread sounds awesome to me! Unfortunately no one in my family really likes pineapple except me and only my grands and their mom and dad even like banana bread! I may save this for me sometime though!! I hope you have a great week with your list!
