Last weekend Hubby and I traveled to California for a visit with our son and his family. We got to play with our grandson and snuggle our granddaughter.
The latter photo was when we babysat so our son and daughter in law could enjoy a dinner date.
I got a chance to work on Cinnamon House on the plane.
All of my other projects are too large to travel with, so this was best to bring.
There has been a whole lot of stitching completed on the Christmas stocking.
I am almost done with the toe and will then work my way up the stocking backstitching as I go.
Almost all of the Granny square centers are complete. They just need the surrounding white row.
This has become my nightly TV watching craft. I want to finish it soon and start another yarn craft.
I recently read The Lost Dresses of Italy.
This was an enjoyable book. There is a little bit of intrigue/mystery set in post WWII Italy. It also is a fictional account of the life of the poet Christina Rossetti.
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. I hope you take some time to sit back with some tea or coffeen and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteYou have been busy with your stitching and crochet, Cathie. How wonderful you were able to travel to California and have a wonderful time with your family. Such a sweet photo of your husband and your sweet granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteThe little holly berries are adorable on the Christmas stocking. Glad you had some time with the kids!
ReplyDeleteSweet pictures of your grands, Cathie - I'm glad you were able to go for a visit! The Cinnamon House looks like a fun design to stitch. Is that part of a series? (I'm thinking you did a Pumpkin House, too?) Thanks for the book recommendation - that sounds like one I would like!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get to visit the grandkids! I'm sure their parents enjoyed the dinner date and time away from the kiddo's. Cinnamon House is looking great.
ReplyDeleteAdorable pictures of your grandchildren, how wonderful you were able to visit! Lovely stitching
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you were with your grands in CA!!! that is the best visit ever. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteVisiting grandkids is the best! Love your Cinnamon House! What kind of scissors are allowed on the airplane, these days? Crossstitched Christmas stockings are an endeavor, but so worth it. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family visit you enjoyed.
