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.

Scrapping is Happiness is delightful! And so are your sweet little round cross-stitch designs. Happy Birthday to your mom! The pumpkin bread looks yummy.

Great picture of your Mum and the chocolate pudding sounds delicious! Scrappiness is looking great _ I have to use the bed too, no space for a design wall here! Oh the little picture of a house and birds is just delightful. Enjoy your week. xx

What a beautiful quilt...great job. Yes, such a design wall wouldn't be bad, but there has to be space for it :-) right? Unfortunately I don't have one either.
Your embroidery is amazing... and I like baked goods... there's an apple pie in my oven right now. Many greetings from Viola
p.s. Happy Birthday to your mum - all good wishes.

Oh, the apple pie sounds delicious. Thank you for my Mom's birthday wishes. Enjoy your day!
