And not a bit of sewing with red has been done. I’ve gone into my sewing room twice at least. First I opened my machine and plugged it back in. Then I did a bit of ironing! Dumped some red pieces on the cutting table.
Does it count that I have red on the table next to my chair? :)
Better luck in the coming week!
Happy sewing !
I wasn’t going to post an “I Like” today! But I changed my mind.
I Like :
We are home! We had a great visit with our son. It was hard to leave him!
Our 3 travel days were with out problems! No snow, No icy roads. A bit of wind near Rawlins WY, but that is normal. No blowing snow across the highway!
I like sleeping in my own bed!
I’ve placed a grocery order that I will pick up this afternoon.
I am stitching with my Thursday Stitcher friends today.
My Christmas cactus is blooming to Welcome Us Home!

I got the red X outline finished and started the outlining backstitch on Santa Baker. This photo shows the red x's almost done. I don't have a photo of the outlining, but trust me please. My stitchery is in the car and I am just not going down to the car from the hotel room to get a photo. I'll share it on I LIKE Thursday at Not Afraid of Color, if we are home.
We are on our way home. Monday we made it from our son's home in northern California to Winnemucca NV . We got a motel room and will hopefully get to Wyoming on Tuesday. We should be home by Wednesday.
My list for. January 11- January 17
1. Laundry and unpack
2. Continue backstitching the detail on Santa Baker
3. Turn on my sewing machine and sew at least 1 Red string block and 1 Red Happy Block.
I’m linking up with Linda at To-Do Tuesday. I will update this link when I next connect my laptop or ipad and have the correct link info from Linda.

Last week I said I wasn’t going to post this week! I was feeling “off”. But after reading all your comments on my Tuesday post and reading some other posts at Not Afraid of Color I decided to do a small post.
Because how can you not like that your DH accompanies you to the grocery store and picks up
for the next morning. I know they are his favorites, but I like a treat now and then too!
We finished watching Outlander, Season 5. DS added a trial period of Starz to his app lineup, just so we could watch! Now, that’s a definite “like”!
Yesterday, after a stressful day at his desk, it was nice enough for a walk at 4:00. DS invited me to go with him! Also a like!
I leave you with this photo of the sunrise on New Year’s Day!
Check in with the I Like Thursday participants at LeeAnna’s blog, Not Afraid of Color. I’m sure you will be glad you did.

I wasn’t going to “Officially Commit” to a January goal. I am still away from my machine and most of my UFOS. But….I do have that 20+ year counted cross stitch Santa with me. I was working on it, then put it down to finish December Table Scraps.
I’m in a funk. But maybe having this OMG will help keep me occupied.
My goal is to finish the major cross stitches, complete the red X border and get the black outline stitching done.

Welcome list makers! Do you make New Year's Resolutions? I don't usually and this year is no exception. I'll just continue with To-Do Tuesdays and keep checking items off the lists. This was not a very good "checking it off" week, but thanks to Linda at Texas Quilt Gal, I have this place to be accountable.
Last week Dec 28-Jan 3
I participated in several challenges. I made some baby quilts. I donated some quilts made just in 2021 and one UFO from 2020. I don't watch or keep track of the stats on my blog. I started this blog as a way to keep tract of the projects I did. Then of course it evolved in to a way to keep in touch with other quilters, needlecrafters and readers.
