I Need a Design Wall, Cross Stitch, Bread and Mom’s Birthday

Hello and welcome to the last week of October!

The past week was fairly productive for me. I was able to sew the final block I needed for Scrappiness Is Happiness, and I assembled the rows.

I’ll make and attach the borders this week. I do not have a design wall so I stripped the guest bed and placed the top there to get a photo.


My cross stitch finish was the Autumn trio for Well Rounded by Hands on Design.

I have all the supplies I need to fully finish these into rounds.

One evening I made a couple of loaves of pumpkin bread.

I topped them with the same whipped cream cheese frosting I previously used on the banana cake.

Finally, we celebrated my Mom’s 81st birthday on Saturday night. We took her to a nice restaurant downtown. 

She enjoyed a trout and potato dish, as well as the chocolate bread pudding with cherry topping.


My plans for this week:

- Make and attach the borders on Scrappiness Is Happiness

- Fully finish Give Thanks

- Fully finish Well Rounded - Autumn

- Start the Witching Hour Stitch Along

I’m also going to try a new cleaning routine…we’ll see how that goes 😊
Hope you have a great week.

I don’t have a design wall either. I frequently use the bed as a design area.

Scrappiness is Happiness turned out beautifully!! That pumpkin bread looks delish with that cream cheese frosting--yum!!
It got much colder overnight here; 34 this morning but no frost on the pumpkin as yet!! Hugs for a super week Julierose

I still maintain your Mom does not look her age - she is so pretty. Your scrappy quilt looks great, and the Autumn trio is adorable.

I like all your projects completed or otherwise. ( That includes the delicious-looking banana cake).
I'm curious about your cleaning routine; anything to make keeping the house tidy💗
Belated birthday wishes for your Mom.
