Coffee – the best Monday motivation there is. ☕️💪
Happy Monday morning everyone. Welcome to Monday Musings. We haven’t had a break in the heat yet, but hopefully this week will be different??!! At least we’re supposed to get a little rain, but then the humidity kicks in! Hopefully you are all saying cool/warm, depending on where you are. This is great weather for quality stitching time!! Now, let’s move on to the good stuff!!
Here’s how my story ended for the week of 8/17/26- 8/23/26:
- Continue working on Belle. DONE!! Not finished, but still stitching!!
- Work on stockings…maybe. DONE!! Got some buttons and found my DMC floss, so a work in progress!
- Maybe start quilting the fabric for the ByAnnie’s carrying bag for Little Princess. DONE!! This is Tula Pink fabric. The front is called Coral Reef Friends & Anemones in Ultraviolet Purple, and the brightly colored houndstooth is Cosmic from the Untamed collection, which will be the lining. It’s ready to cut into pieces and seal the edges!
- Cut and stitch the second set of blocks for Marigold Mystery this month. DONE!! Here are the five star blocks and I’m caught up with all the blocks for August!!
- Whatever suits my fancy!! DONE!! With all the heat and humidity, I decided it was time for a hair cut…and a hair cut I did get! It’s been years since my hair was shorter than shoulder length! So far I’m enjoying it. I told my hair dresser that if I didn’t like it, it would always grow back out! LOL
Plans for the week of 8/24- 8/30/26:
- Continue stitching on Belle!
- Continue working on stockings.
- Begin cutting pieces for my Stitcher’s Suitcase for Little Princess.
- Sew Day with friends this Wednesday – YAY!
- Whatever cranks my tractor!
