Welcome to ChitChat!

Good Friday morning everyone. I think I'm finally getting used to the time change and so are the dogs! DId a lot of stitching yesterday and today I will finish another page on "Lady". I've got my mojo back for this large project, but want to start the mermaid one. I want to get my housework finished early so I can stitch on this rainy fall day. It's been quite the week with a few ups and downs. Have a fabulous Friday!

🎼Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, Sewn Blessings, Happy birthday to you🎶 🎂🎊🎉🎈🥳

Here is "Tender Loving Care" finished and framed! She took approximately 1 year to stitch. I get to keep her for 2 weeks, then she is a gift for my youngest daughter's 40th birthday. Where has the time gone??

Today is Friday ………………………….………………………. Good Morning, MJ 💕

Today is Thursday ……………………………………………. Good Morning, MJ 💕

I was introduced to minky fabric a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it. I couldn't stop petting the fabric samples the rep handed me. So I got the idea to make an 8x10 comfort puff with minky on one side and quilting cotton on the other. I want to sew columns, stuff a row with polyfill, sew it closed, repeat until I get to the top. I would tuft each square with a 1/4" satin ribbon with the tails on the cotton side. Sooo comforting to pet, hug, rub the ribbon, or just have it in my lap. It will weigh a pound. I also want a matching weighted lap pad. If you didn't know, I'm autistic and adore soft and weighted things. I can't wait for my material to make the prototype set!

Working on these 4 at the moment.
And the blue dragon I finished and mailed to a good friend.
Pattern: Warrior
I want to start the red wreath.

Good Thursday morning everyone. Still that beautiful moon this morning. We are supposed to get snow this weekend, too. I didn't stitch a stitch yesterday because I needed a break from it. Poppy had a good birthday yesterday and she knew something was different. Her latest trick is she jumps up and can catch a ball. Our mayor has called South Bend into a state of emergency because of the shutdown and there is a utility moratorium on those on energy assistance through the month of February. Also, the city donated $60,000 to the food bank and urged the citizens to do what they can to help. Never in my lifetime have I ever seen anything like this. We shopped at W/M yesterday and it was literally empty, which was very strange. I hope today doesn't have that "weird" feeling to it because all I know something is not right. Have a truthful Thursday.
