Some stitching and where I stitch

Good Morning all,  Thought I would show you where I do my stitching, knitting and magazine reading!

Below is in my sewing hideaway (please ignore the mess!!!)  This is where I stitch things in frames, also do my beading here as well.  I also listen to my audio books in this room and will sometimes watch - actually listen to the television.

 

In the foreground is Dorcas Haynes and Quaker Pincushion is where the high black chair is.  In the background stacked in plastic boxes are my multiple WIPS.

                                            Here is the Quaker Pincushion stitching area.

                                                 This is the start of the second pincushion.

                                                    Here is the start of Doras Haynes.

 Below is where I knit and read my magazines while watching the Television with the family in the evenings.  Sometimes I do sit here during the day reading as well - depending on my mood.

 This is a sock that I am knitting at the moment - I am in catch up mode with my knitting projects!!  It is bad enough that I have multiple stitching Works In Progress - I do not need to have multiple knitting projects as well!!!  I also, try to keep my beading projects also up to day

 Here is my morning and sometimes dinner cooking stitching area.  This is where I sit in the morning watching the news, drinking coffee and getting everyone off to work.  My faithful companion is my sister's cat Jazmine, who is about 14 years old.  She usually sits behind me (as I am pushed to sit on the very edge of the chair) while I stitch and then takes over the whole chair when I leave!!

Well, that is it for this week, next week will be a bit busy, Book Club in at my house on Tuesday evening - I chose the  Tales of Hill Top Farms by Susan Wittig Alberts.  It is mostly fiction with true parts regarding the life of Beatrix Potter when she purchased Hill Top Farms.  It is a darling story and so very different that what we usually read but I wanted to do something light and easy to read.

This week is also the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival here in Macon, Georgia - it is a big event.  It is said that Macon has the largest number of Cherry Trees in the USA, more that Washington DC!  I have 5 trees in my yard - will post a photo next week of my trees - one of which has already bloomed and is getting ready to leaf.

I belong to an Ikebana group and we put arrangements in one of the historic homes during this time - so most of my time will be practicing my design - not much stitching I afraid!!!

Thank you for stopping by  --  see you next week - I will probably be a day late in posting.
