This past week was, for the most part, uneventful. It’s been really hot here in North Carolina and the entire week it was threatening to rain, yet except for some thunder and lightning on Wednesday night and maybe a little bit of drizzle while we were sleeping, it never did rain. So with the humidity built up to a breaking point, my back has been sore and stiff pretty much every day. Other than that, the week was fairly ordinary. So with that said here is the next installment of Sunday’s Stitches & Stuff. (more…)

Yeah, it’s Wednesday! Not only is it a day to share our WIPs, but I am one day closer to an unexpected day off. As of right now I have no work scheduled for Friday, and if I don’t get a call for an evaluation or to assist another therapist, then I’m going to have all day Friday to do whatever I want! Not sure exactly what I’m going to put on the agenda, but fully finishing some stitched pieces is at the top of that list, as is, clearing out and organizing my shed. As far as stitching goes, this week I’ve been working on two projects, (more…)

This week was busy, productive and peaceful. Despite the non-stop rain, the animals still got plenty of attention and exercise, using my kitchen as an indoor play yard. The house is clean and still standing, so that’s a bonus. Also, I’ve been getting around to a few house projects that laid on the back burner for far too long. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I will have plenty to do outside, until it gets too hot, then I’ll switch back to inside projects and the joys of air conditioning. Other than a few errands that needed running, this week was fairly quiet, which means I had plenty of time for stitching and reading! So here’s my week… (more…)

Today is Saturday and Saturday for me usually means Doctor Who. For two reasons: one, typically I do my big weekly chores on Saturday, and when I do I play Doctor Who in the background and two, when it’s in season, Saturday means I get a new episode!

The past couple of weekends, however, have been filled with other activities including the dentist, traveling up north to visit family, and even a Saturday where I ended up working. While all those activities are important in their own right, it has left me without my weekly dose of the Doctor, as well as falling behind on the current season. Today, though, there is only one thing on the schedule, which means I should be able to get some much-needed housework done and can carve out some time to get caught up on the current season.

As I shared on Wednesday, it had been a bit since I posted anything, but thankfully I am much better and back to my regularly scheduled program, including a Sunday Stitches & Stuff post! Originally, I thought maybe I would do a three week update, but that would be a long post, so I am just gonna pick things up with this past week and move forward from there. Additionally, I am experimenting with a new format for the Sunday Stitches post, so I am going to give that a try this week. So with no further ado let’s take a look at my week. (more…)

Gosh, it’s been two weeks since I’ve posted anything! My how time can get away from you, especially when illness and injuries are involved. Things started 2 weeks ago with a mild sinus irritation, that lead to some type of bug, then allergy season began, and this past weekend was a pretty bad flare up of my chronic back injury. Thankfully, I am feeling better and have started to get back into my normal routines again. The only good part about all the sickness and stuff, was that I spent a lot of time sitting on my heating pad and stitching! So today I have two updates to share, progress on my Happily Ever After SAL and my Spring Seasonal Quilt. (more…)

This week I am attempting to make progress on my Happily Everafter SAL.

It’s only been 2 weeks since I worked on this project, in fact I have two other projects, plus my knitting, that should have been next in the rotation, but the February pattern was released this month and I haven’t even finished January, so I want to see how much I can get done this week, then I’ll pull one of the other projects. Plus, (more…)
