My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/08/26

Morning! I hope that everyone got enough sleep last night since the clocks had to move ahead!! I am glad that I don't have to deal with that anymore; all that moving the clock forward and backward can be annoying! 

This week I had a bit of an accident! We only have ONE step in front of our home and I managed to fall right off it and spend hours in the emergency room! I was holding on to my walker and somehow the walker took off before I was ready to go. I was holding on to my walker pretty tightly and so I managed to fall on top of it while hitting the driveway. 

This is how I looked! 

It is still pretty painful and I hope it is finished looking worse before it gets better! My daughter showed the Doctors the Ring video and they said I was lucky there was no concussion or breaks because I hit the ground so hard. I can finally hold my eye open most of the way now so I hope I can drive.

I still managed to stitch though! I would stitch a little, rest my eyes with the compress on them and then stitch again. I was even able to get in a page finish! 

  

I put in 735 stitches this week.

That is five finished pages and seven to go!

As for books, I didn't get much reading or listening in this week. I am only half way finished with Kamala Harris' book 107 Days. I plan (I hope) on finishing it this week. 

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!

Stay safe out there in the world.

Love to you all!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 03/01/26

Well, what a temperature change we had here; we were in the high 80s and low 90s this week! I think Tucson even set some records for high temperatures this past week. I enjoyed the heat very much!! I hope it wasn't just a sneak peek but I think it was.

Last Sunday I spun the wheel and it landed on a piece I haven't stitched on for a long time, Shades of Gold. The last time I stitched on the piece was in April 2025! 

I was very happy to pick it up again and once I figured out where I was I got right to stitching! 

 

I put in 874 stitches this week.

And that is it for the stitchy part of my week.

I finally finished The Gunslinger by Stephen King. It took me a bit but I did it, I am going to try the second book in series soon. Right now I am listening to 107 Days by Kamala Harris. I haven't listened to much yet but I will get back to it this week. Then a stitcher in our group brought me a Mary Higgins Clark book (I forgot the title) that I will probably read next. 

Thank you so much for being here. I caught up on a bunch of emails last week and am hoping to do the same again this week. One problem is I feel I get so much junk mail and I am trying to unsubscribe from a lot of it.  I guess it may be due to being election year here and all of a sudden I have lots of politicians who care about me or rather my vote! LOL 

Well, I think I am going to skip spinning the wheel this week and stitch some more of The Shades of Gold.  See you around the web somewhere or back here next week. 

Take care and stay safe!

Look at there... another quick and short post! I kind of like that.
