I got in some "just being" time every day this last week.
15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
15 minute days/July = 28/31 days
15 minute days/August = 3/3 days
15 minute days/2019 = 189/215 days
Success rate = 87.91%
So it was a good week for working in some me time. Finding stitching time has been harder this year for some reason. We've been gone more this year, plus work has been more challenging. Hopefully things will slow down for the next little bit. You can share how your stitching week went by linking up at the bottom of the post.
On the stash front, the Vintage Dress backing really bumped up my out of the stash numbers.
Fabric out this week = 5.28 yards
Fabric out for 2019 = 35.22 yards
More fabric in than out
So it was a good week on that front. I'm hoping to work in at least two more backs before the end of the quarter, so that should help move the stash numbers closer to 50 yards out for the year.
How did your stitchy week work out?

Quilting is my favorite way to relax and recharge, so finding time for it every day is very important to my sanity and well-being.
Your numbers are looking good--can't wait to see Vintage Dresses quilted!
I got more stash out this week but that's only because I stopped myself from online shopping way too many times. LOL, I keep having to remind myself I am going to the quilt show in Grand Rapids this month and do not need to buy anymore fabric! Well, I do have to get some charm squares for a class on Friday, but other than that, no new fabric until GR.
I agree, taking a few minutes at the end of the day is a great way to unwind - for me, that is more days cross-stitching than quilting lately, but that's okay, they both have the same effect. Glad you had a good week and hope your daughter returned feeling refreshed!
Sounds like a good week for you - spending time with your daughter, resting and recharging. I had a good week too.
I've got to say I am a lot less stressed this year now that I make sure I make time to stitch most nights. It has helped a great deal and the fact that I now force myself to walk out the door at the end of the day and put it all out of my mind (sometimes easier said than done).
Maestro is back at Uni, he struggled to keep work/life/school balance last week, Mo on the other hand is enjoying her new subjects this semester they are more focused on art which is adding to her joy.
