2 of 24

I have finally finished the second of 24 pages of Three Boats. Happy Dance!


Now I can move on to the next page below it. Page number 13 is next.

I also made some progress on October Morning this past week. 


You can see that I have started adding the green tree/bush that is to the right of the dirt road. I just realized that you can see the fence emerging too.

I also spent some time making Christmas masks to distribute at Thanksgiving. Here are the Christmas sides of the masks.

I made the insides from non-Christmas fabrics so that they can be used throughout the year.


We enjoyed a visit from our daughter, her husband and her pup, Ruby. They quarantined two weeks prior to visiting and will do the same when they return home in order to visit for Thanksgiving. 
We enjoyed a walked in a local state park.
Ruby also enjoyed playing in our backyard with one of the old toys that we have.

Our son was unable to join us as he couldn't quarantine that long without going to work. He is going to try to visit at Christmas.

I am reading the third book of Nora Roberts' Chronicles of the One series, "The Rise of Magicks". 


I am thoroughly enjoying this trilogy, though it was difficult to get through the original premise of the series which deals with a massive pandemic. It is worth it to read this very interesting trilogy.

I am joining Kathy for Slow Sunday Stitching. I will try to add some stitches to Three Boats, but today is the day to get the Christmas decorations out of the garage. 

Thanks for stopping by!

    Three boats is looking great! Congrats on having finished 2 pages of the pattern! I saw the fence emerging right away on your other picture. We took our Christmas bins out yesterday and started decorating. I will continue to work away at it this week. The tree will go up next weekend. Have a good week!

    Glad you got to visit with family. More masks... It's time for me to make a few more... This may be a great place to use some holiday fabrics. Oh so many colors on your stitching! Beautiful work.

    I liked that Nora Roberts trilogy a lot. Strange to think that she wrote about a pandemic like that, isn't it? Glad you enjoyed some time with your daughter and SIL and got some stitching in, too. I made the banana muffins from the recipe you shared last week and they were yummy!

    How lovely to see your daughter over thanksgiving! Clever idea to make those masks with a plain inside so they can be used after Christmas. I'm planning on making some more Christmas masks, but keep putting it off.

    Three boats is looking lovely and I like how October Morning is coming along. Those masks are so cheerful looking and it's a great idea to make them reversable. Great that you had a visit from your daughter.

    Three Boats is looking amazing. October Morning, too, is looking great. Love the imprint of the fence. A great idea to use a holiday fabric on one side of the masks and an ordinary fabric on the other. Your Thanksgiving sounds as if you had a pleasant time with your daughter and son-in-law, and sweet Ruby. Christmas isn't too far away, then you will be able to enjoy special times with your son.

    I am thrilled that your daughter as able to visit. It is so hard isolating for these long period of times needed. Hopefully your son will make hoe for Christmas. Great stitching. Love the masks and the fabrics.
