This week a bunch of friends and I went to see Wicked and in my opinion it was fantastic! If you have seen the other productions of this series then this one is a must. I hope you have a chance to enjoy it as well.
Believe it or not we have still been in the 80s this week! We did drop down to the 60s for a couple of days and then jumped right back to the 80s. I am not complaining though, I love the heat!
In the upcoming week here in the US we will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday. Most people will watch football and cook a turkey with tons of sides. My family will be making homemade pizzas for dinner that day and I of course will be stitching and watching movies.
I think I have answered all the comments for last week and I am trying to remember to change the email address so they don't go to "No Reply". If I didn't answer your comment it is probably because I forgot to change the email address... sorry!
Now for the stitching I squeezed in this week!
First one stitched was perfect for the prompt "Stitch on something you’re reluctant to stitch on." After another frogging session with this piece (I think it is my third or maybe the fourth?) I was brave enough to stitch on it again. This time I worked on the upper right instead of the lower left amd so far, so good! The real test will be when I start adding the lines inside the border.
2024 Blackwork SAL
138 stitches added on 11/18
Next up I worked on the Quilt Block Sampler, since the prompt was made for this one; "Stitch with blue floss, or on something with a moon." As you know I have been working on this for years and years, four to be exact and I hope to have these last two blocks stitched up soon so I can mark this one finished!

Artist - Loretta Oliver
Progress 11/19 when I added 164 stitches.
This time the prompt was to "Stitch on something that is small, or fairy sized." I figured the title says they are tiny boxes so this should be fine! I definitely don't have anything fairy sized because I think that would be extra small. It almost looks like someone dumped out a bunch of die and this is how they landed.
One Hundred Days of Tiny
I added 240 stitches which counts for 120 between the days of 11/20 and 11/22.
Stephen King House
Now for one of my current favorites; Stephen King's House! I can't wait to get to the different books and movies that are featured here. This prompt said to "Stitch on something you would find at a tea party." Well what would a tea party be without the guests? After all someone has to drink all that tea and eat the cookies!! So all the people in this piece will be invited once they are visible.

The last prompt is asking about the season of weather that I really don't like though I do like it a bit better now that I don't have to be bothered with it! They asked me to "Stitch on something that makes you think of winter." Well this one obviously has everything to do with winter even though I prefer summer!
Winter 2024 SAL
Dark Nights
Designer - Alyssa
On 11/23 I added 212 stitches
This week it seemed as though the prompts were made after someone looked in my WIP box. I often wonder who thinks of these prompts. I am sure it is a lot of work to think of six for each week.
Well it is time for me to go to bed and TRY to get some sleep. It is 2:45am right now, way past my bedtime but the insomnia says no, you should stay awake... all night!

Well thank you once again for stopping by to see what I am doing.
I appreciate all of you and your comments.
So until next week
stay safe and keep stitching!
