Hello, dear friends. I want to give you a quick recap of this past week.
I’m
happy to report that I finished all my chores last weekend and was able to
stitch with friends Sunday afternoon.
It
has been a while since I shared my progress on A Patriotic Christmas Eve designed
by Twin Peak Primitives.
This
is where I was when I last showed it to you.
This
is where I stopped last Sunday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
also made a chocolate pie for dessert.
Not
the best photo. As you can see, we got into it before I remembered to
take the picture.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There
is a small area of our town called Frog Level. I couldn’t resist getting this
photo since I seem to do a good bit of ‘frogging’ whether I’m cross stitching
or sewing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
participated in our local library’s adult reading challenge this summer. We
were given a bingo card filled with various prompts like, read classic, watch a
movie, read a book recommended by a friend, etc. You received one raffle ticket
for every bingo on your card. I started late and was only able to get three,
but it was enough to win the top prize.
Several
local businesses donated items for the raffle. My basket contained a book by a
North Carolina author, a bookmark, reading light, handmade pottery dish, candle,
soap, and a handcrafted blueberry basil soda. There were also a few coupons
from downtown stores.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
made a quick trip to Asheville to pick up some fabrics.
I’ll
be working on this secret project over the weekend. And I’ll also get back to
the Christmas cross stitch Sunday afternoon.
Hope
you have a great weekend and find some time to be creative!

What a great prize...all things that I would love too. The pie looks yummy....that's something I could have too. Look at your lovely fabrics...I can't wait to see what they turn into.

Ditto all of the above comments! You made a lot of progress on your Patriotic Christmas stitching - and your pie looks YUMMY. Congratulations on your win - that's quite a nice haul! LOVE your fabrics - blues and yellows are always so cheerful. And your Frog photo reminds me of my friend - Frog Quilter - but she likes frogs - not frogging - LOL - ;))
