Stitching Stuff: Week 40 of 2024

 


Most of this week has been spent on the road and away from home.  My Guy took a week off work and we went to Eureka Springs, Arkansas for a much needed vacation.  We had bigger plans for vacation earlier this year, but a family wedding and a potential refinery project left a very small window to fit in a vacation.  It was still a fun week. We shopped, hung out at a few coffee shops, hiked and ate at all of our favorite places. I took some hand stitching to work on.  That's usually easy to pick up and work on for at least 15 minutes.  


  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/Sept = 30/30 days
  • 15 minute days/Oct = 5/5 days
  • 15 minute days/2024 = 279/279 days
  • Success rate = 100%


Maintaining the 100% has become a family affair. One day of vacation we got back to the rental late. As we were getting ready for bed, My Guy asked if I had gotten my 15 minutes in.  I had stitched while he was out for his early morning walk, so he hadn't seen me work on anything.  It's nice to have family support, he's definitely a keeper.  

As we weren't home, there wasn't any scrap processing or fabric pressing. So nothing to share on that front.  How did you do at fitting in some stitching time this last week?

Eureka Springs was a lovely little town last time I saw it - decades ago. What are some of your favorite places to eat there? I bet you saw some pretty foliage.

Sounds like a really nice getaway! We visited Eureka Springs several years ago - I remember it was a neat place. That's pretty funny that your guy wants to make sure you get your 15 minutes of stitching in. They know what keeps us happy, right?!

He sounds like a keeper for sure. I am blessed to have a very supportive hubby too. Great job maintaining your 100% stitching days. Maybe next year I can emulate you!

Your guy definitely sounds like a good guy. It makes such a difference to have that kind of support. Your 100% on stitching time is amazing!
