Good morning, my friends. We're heading out on our camping trip today. It's a short trip. You can expect to hear from me again by Sunday, if not sooner. I won't be blogging while I'm away, but I should have plenty to tell you when I get back.
There was still a lot to do in preparation, but I took some time to stitch up Tiny Treasure #67. This one has stem stitch, running stitch, lazy daisies, and French knots.

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day from start to finish yesterday. It got so late in the day, I barely did anything in the sewing room. Oh well. Plenty of other things were accomplished. There’s still a lot to do today, but it’ll be less hectic than yesterday.
Before we needed to take off for the grocery store, I was able to stitch Tiny Treasure #66. This one has stem stitch, straight stitch, and satin stitch.

Good morning, my friends. By the time you read this, it'll be way past morning. I wrote my post and then never published it. Sorry for the late posting. That's what happens when I get too busy. It's Day 2 of my busy week. Yesterday gave me a taste. Today will be even busier. We must do some grocery shopping, unfortunately. We'll get an early start and try to be home early because there's much to do at home as well.
Before I even did my slow-stitching yesterday, I hoed the garden. It was a ...

read moreToday I couldn't get up till around 10 am. I'm wondering if I'm a little depressed over not doing anything or able to work on my crafts. I also wondered if it has to do with all the stuff going on with Patrick. I don't know.
I did work on laundry all day. Got a lot done. Then I decided to do a Cinnamon Babka bread.
Good morning, my friends. My best laid plans for the week turned into better plans when Erik scored a campsite for our two camper rigs for later in the week. We already had a plan to visit the farmer's market yesterday morning, and so what started as a routine schedule for the week just got a whole lot busier.
Before heading out for the farmer's market, I was able to stitch up the day's Tiny Treasure. This is Tiny Treasure #64. It has stem stitch, lazy daisy, running stitch, and French knot.

Good morning, my friends. It was a momentous day yesterday. I was able to harvest the first zucchini from the vegetable garden. We’re starting with the small ones while they’re still defenseless.

Good morning, my friends. It was a short day for sewing yesterday. My morning started with a doctor's appointment. I’ll say more about that in a minute. After my appointment, I stopped off at our local Safeway store and picked up the things currently on our list. We get our vaccines at Safeway, and they always give us a 15% off coupon for our next shopping trip. We don't often shop at Safeway, but there are a few things they carry that I can't get at our regular store. As long as I was driving by ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It ended up being kind of a slow day here. The weather never really cleared up, and so I was deterred from going for a walk. Instead, I decided to stay at home and work with the macro function of my new camera. First, I picked the day's blueberry harvest, and then I just walked around taking close-up shots of things. I have a lot of pictures to show you today.
So...remember all the flowers on the Stargazer lily? Here's a photo I took last week.

I've spent a little time stitching around a tuatara on my New Zealand panel. I've been lucky enough to hold one of these rather special creatures. Those spines on the head and back are not sharp, but rather feel rubbery - yes, I had to touch and see for myself.
Good morning, my friends. It was a productive day in the sewing room yesterday, and the kitchen too, if you're keeping score. Of course, nothing could happen until I'd done my slow-stitching. The bottom right corner is finished, and I’ve moved my hoop to the left. Probably I still have a couple of days of work on this, but I should start thinking about getting the next one ready to go.

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday, but it doesn't feel as if I have much to show for it. We mopped the floor in the morning, and I mopped myself out the door so that I could hoe the garden. While I was out, I was thrilled to find enough ripe blueberries that it made sense to pick some. Up until now, they've been ripening one at a time. Now, they are ripening in clusters, giving me hope I can actually do something with them. Just look at these babies:
