I am sewing on a pair of britches today!
No not for me! For Mr. Scarecrow in my newest stitch that I am working on called "Pumpkins, Crows and a Scarecrow"
Actually, Mr. Pinker and I are trucking on down the road which gives me a good amount of time to work on some projects .
Do you enjoy stitching as you are riding in a vehicle? Or do you find yourself drifting into slumberland from the lull of the road? Me- well both.
Sooooo....
Have you made your plans for the week?
Though I will be visiting family members, I do hope to work on a few projects while away. I hope you do not mind if I share them with you.
Hmm.... What Should I do This Week?
🌞1. Work on October's Tiny House.

🌞2. Work on October's Roundabout stitch.
🌞3. Seek out some fabulous thrift shops. Hmmm. maybe find some treasures.
🌞4. Applique on my Berries and Butterflies quilt blocks.
🌞5.Whatever other mischief I can get into. Now that should not be too hard.😁😇
As Mr. Pinker and I are away, I do have some preplanned posts for the week. Please do forgive me if it takes me a few days to get back with you. I never know how much internet service we will have or what we will get into, but I am sure you understand.
Well , Sweeties. I better let you get to your busy day. I wish you a humdinger of a week - in a good way! Love ya'!
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

1 work on October tiny house
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely family visit. Try not to get into too much mischief!
ReplyDeleteYour new stitch looks to be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteHave a good time visiting with family!
I try to stitch while traveling - takes a lot longer considering some of the roads we travel ;-)
Looking forward to the new tiny house!'
Blessings and safe travels!
Can’t wait to see the finished Tiny Pumpkin House. 🎃 Enjoy your getaway and visit with family. K from NY
ReplyDeleteI never stitch while traveling. Since I was a little girl, I have always enjoyed just looking out the window. No matter where we are, there are so many things to see!
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching and safe travels. I used to cross stitch in the car, but it seems I stick myself to many times from the bumpy roads so I turned to crochet or knitting instead.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels. Visiting family is always a win. I can't stitch or read or anything much in the vehicles. I have motion sickness something fierce and after too many mishaps, I don't mess with it any more. So it is just watching the scenery out in front of me as we go down the road. So many pretties to work on and they all are looking really great. You are so generous to us.
ReplyDeleteHoping for safe travels for you two. Someitmes I try to read but, sewing takes me too many jabs. Enjoy your trip.
ReplyDeleteDear friend, I absolutely love your stitching! I wish you a safe and enjoyable trip!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful time visiting your family, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI think the pumpkin house is going to be one of my favorites.
I'm worried that all the blogs in Europe are in the same boat, with no updates on the dashboard for posts from other blogs. Let's hope they fix it soon.
