FILLING IN THE SPACES

Good day.

Yesterday was a good stitching day. I filled in a few spaces at the bottom of the jar lid, finished one blue and started another. Stitch total for yesterday was 337 stitches.

I also put in a round and a half on the neverending granny square.

Raining here today. Taco soup in the crock pot. Chores done. Off to stitch now.

Here is today's starting point.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow

SUNNY AND COLD

Well what do you expect in Montana in March. Love the weather. Still have some snow on the ground but nothing in the forecast so far.

I made good progress yesterday. Did a bunch of confetti stitches at the bottom of the lid and finished a blue section at the top.

I didn't post my stitch count for Saturday yesterday as it was a 3 week SAL post.  So Saturday (at stitch group) I did 199 stitches and yesterday I did 186 stitches.  Total stitches for the week 1,222. Not bad but hoping for better this week as no appointments etc. Plenty of stitching time.

Okay I'll stop blathering now. Here is today's starting point.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow

MARCH 12 SAL UPDATE

Here I am better late than never. I always seem to be last to post. I think I am the farthest time zone from everyone else in the SAL. They are posting while I am sleeping. I should post my update on Saturday night just to keep up with the Jones. But I never have been one to follow the pack so to speak. LOL.

I have been making good progress. The last time you saw The Universe in a Jar it looked like this.

I have had a page finish in between SAL updates. If you scroll down from this post you will see that photo.

Here is what it looks like today. I decided go up after my page finish instead of to the right as I wanted to stitch the top of the jar. Everyone here says it looks like one of the mushrooms from Super Mario Bros.

I love being part of this SAL. I get a lot of inspiration from the others. If you want to see some truly amazing stitching check out the others who are doing such beautiful work.

Till next month HAPPY STITCHING

STITCH GROUP TODAY

Good morning. Just a quick post today. Leaving for stitch group in a few minutes.

231 stitches yesterday. I have found a solution to blue and confetti burn out. I thread 2 needles with the blue I'm working with and when I have used both I pick another symbol in an entirely different color and do all the stitches I can find of that color. Then back to blue and repeat. Filling in a lot of confetti and getting a lot of blue done this way.

Today's starting point.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow

YAY IT'S FRIDAY

Not that it matters to me anymore since I'm retired but it used to be a big deal.

I got 190 stitches done yesterday. Hoping for much more today as I will be home alone this afternoon. Hubby is going for his tattoo and daughter is working so it will be nice and quiet here. Can't wait. Just me, Brandi and Elvira and they sleep all afternoon anyway.

Here is today's starting point. I am alternating blue(since there is a lot of it coming up) and other colors so I don't get burnt out again.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow

THURSDAY

As you can see I was not feeling especially creative with my post title. Some days  are better than others for mental creativity.

I did get in 101 stitches yesterday.  I feel like I am making good progress.

Today is afternoon stitch group. I will be taking my knitting also to get help correcting my mistake.

Here is today's starting point.

It is snowing again. Not supposed to stop until tomorrow night. l love it. Great stitching weather.

Hope everyone has a great stitchy day.

Till tomorrow.

SLEEPING IN

I am not a fan of sleeping in. My entire life I am up before 8am. When working and the kids were little it was 5am. Today I slept until 10am. I feel like I have lost half of the day. My hubby says that now that I am retired it is okay to sleep that late but I'm not wired like that. I enjoy early morning.

I have now gotten all my chores done so I can stitch for the rest of the afternoon. Yesterday I got back on track with 280 stitches. Back to the blue also.

Here is today's starting point.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow.
