My Sunday Stitchy Update 05/28/23

Hello Everyone! This week I returned Nintendo to the WIP box and then I spun the wheel so I could pull a new WIP out of the box. The wheel landed on Marmalade! It is a design by Carolyn Manning of CM Designs and I love her designs but quite honestly a lot of them are all starting to look alike with the only difference being the colors. Not that that will stop me from stitching them!! So here it is...

Marmalade
Designer - Carolyn Manning
This is how it looked when I pulled it out of the WIP Box

And here it is now

I will keep it out again this week since this square is not quite finished yet.

And that is it for the week except for a couple of celebrations we had recently!

First up; Jacob (my Grandson) received his second Culinary Certificate!

He thought he might want to be a Chef but has since changed his mind and only wants to do home cooking which is fine with us! He hasn't mapped out his future yet but when you are 17 it is generally hard to decide on the rest of your life and he has plenty of time to decide. For now all he wants to do is work and have a good time.

Next up, we had an awesome celebration!
Jacob's High School Graduation!!
Here he is in the processional.
There were approximately 750 students graduating with him.

And here he is with his diploma!
He was extremely happy to have received it.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out what I have been up to.

Have a great week and I will see you next Sunday!

Marmalade looks lovely with your latest addition. They are pretty colours.
Congrats to Jacob, x2! Maybe he just wants to practice more at home before he makes a decision? Hopefully you'll get to do lots of taste testing?!
