Weekly Update

Happy Veterans Day. Remember to give thanks for all of the men and women serving in troops all over the world. Also, all of the ones that have served in the past.
No job yet, but continuing to look. Went to the doctor for a check up last week, blood pressure back to normal, cholesterol lower than even before, under 200. I guess that shows I have a lot less stress in my life now.  Have been enjoying my time with family and friends. Since our LNS is closing, there are no more stitchins at the shop. One of the ladies from the Saturday stitch in decided that she didn't want the group to fell by the wayside and had it at her home on Saturday. There were 5 of us and what fun. We stitched and talked all morning. Have stitched all week and made progress on a number of my WIPs. Also finished and mailed 6 exchanges and received one this week. Here are pictures.

I always love seeing your updates! Those are pretty gold letters in your Alphabet Samplings Book. Persy Pig is so cute, I could just squeeze him! I love the November Snowman. I have the Snowman charts, too. Maybe I'll stitch one next year. Halloween House looks fantastic!

How nice that you're able to keep the stitch-ins going. I don't have an LNS near me. Boo :(

Your stitching looks wonderful, Joyce.

Nicola said...

So pleased you can keep your group going. Once something stops it is very hard to get it going again.

As always I love all your projects. It is so nice to see them all growing.
