Today's plan!

At some point I will be going out for coffee. I also want to finish my pillow case for a coworkers daughter with the Neverland Pirates. Hopefully that's not too much. Because I would also like to get a bunch of housework done and maybe start on a project for a friend who is moving August first! Wish me
Luck!

Upcoming plans

My sister and I have decided that we would like to do a craft sale this year. There is a big one here in Winnipeg at the end of October so we're gonna go for it. It will be our first ever craft sale. (All advice welcome. Please!!!)
This means a lot more embroidery for me over the next couple months. I'm looking forward to it in all honesty. It should be a lot of fun and I enjoy making things. I'm sure I'll be loading you and my Instagram up with photos! Tonight after my run I will be making a master list of all the things that I would like to have stitched and I'll be looking to finish a few items that have been waiting for some motivation. Please feel free to kick my blogging butt if you don't see tons of posts and tons of work being done!

One Rainy Wednesday and One Flower Wednesday

This week has been exceptionally busy. I worked overtime on Friday. Then I worked all weekend Saturday and Sunday were 12 hour shifts and Monday was 10 hours. And the in-laws were in town. LB's birthday was on Friday and then one of his brothers birthdays was on Saturday. Then yesterday I had my very first Executive board meeting for our union! And then LB and I went for a run. It's was disturbingly hot out. Today is my day off and I started it at 7:00 with an amazing run. It was cool out and there was lightening lighting up the sky but no rain. Now it's raining and it's finally cooling off its wonderful! Which brings me to my flower today. I LOVE this cute elephant fabric!

New Bed Plans

Yesterday we got fantastic news! We are getting a new bed!! What!! What!! A new bed!!! And it's gonna be a king sized bed which will perfectly fit my blanket plans!!!
And I finished the stitch work on my baby blanket gifts. Now tomorrow I will hopefully be attaching them to their knitted blankets. More pictures to follow!

Stitching Madness

Everyone I know seems to be having babies lately and I'm 100% excited for all of them! So I've been cracking the whip on my poor sister and has been making her knit baby blankets. And I believe that she has finished all of them now. Now it's my turn. I'm stitching little corner patches with names and a small design. I would like to get two maybe three done this week so I can get them to their rightful owners next week!
This one is for one of my oldest friends.

A Few Of My Favorite Tools

The scissors in the middle are my newest pair of scissors. I love them! I also have my wrist pin cushion (its very useful in keeping pins out of LBs body, he doesn't really go for that pierced look). And the blue case there is where I store all my EEP pieces that have been basted. I have another ones for the pieces waiting to be basted. They're just little photo holders from Michael's craft store. They go on sale super cheap and they are super easy to throw in my bag if I wanna take my craft with me when I go out. I also keep an extra pair of scissor and back up thread and needles in there just in case. And I guess I should mention my Thread Heaven. Thats the tiny blue cube. I'm still on the fence with this. It did help when I was using the Satin Embroidery Floss from DMC.
