Look at me sliding in with another week's roundup!!
What's finished
Honestly, the biggest tasks I accomplished this past week were getting the
last blog post up, updating my space at
Hello Gallery, and cleaning the house.
I did get these two photos altered as part of my StitchABit100 for the 100 Day Project.
What's in progress
Here's where so much time has been spent. I've got other photos still in the process of being altered. (I'm really just trying to decide if they're done for now.)
Other stitching has been done on this scrap of fabric, to which I'm adding white buttons and additional stitches.
I've also been keeping my hands busy with some neurographic doodling. It's been a while since I dabbled with these. But, I was absolutely pulled back in.
What's up next?
We're doing a staycation this week and started strong yesterday with grilling by the pool. Though the water is still pretty chilly. We're hoping to take the bikes out, go for a paddle on the kayaks, and maybe even spend a day on the beach. However, we may be overambitious with our time.
What's caught my eye?
After a ton of rain this past week, I looked out my office window and spotted this beauty of a mushroom. It's as tall as my hand!
What's had my attention
Pat had several band practices and a gig this week, so I was left to my own devices (hence the doodling). I watched Practical Magic for the first time ever and rewatched Dead Poets Society (for probably the hundredth time. It's a longtime favorite that I've avoided since Robin passed away.) As well, I picked up watching Outlander from where I left off several years ago (the end of season 2).
Also, the Mastering Mixed Media Expo 2026 has started, and I've been picking my way through those videos. (Today, the Making Zen Online Retreat also starts. I'm hoping to be able to watch some of those too!!
What's Been the Best Part(s) of My Week
~We did go see Cake, though we didn't take any pictures or video (as requested by the band). It was an awesome show!
~I thrifted some buttons.
~A couple of assemblages sold at the gallery
~We celebrated Pat's birthday with a few friends while exploring Pensacola on Saturday. (It was also Kentucky Derby Day, and a mint julep was in order. And, more celebrating was done poolside on Sunday.
What's new
Can you call thrifted bits "new"? If so, I picked up a few new items that will be in an upcoming Thrifty Thursday (though, not the one I've got scheduled for this week.)
My pressed flowers came out beautifully! I was just off to pick more yesterday when I realized that I had plenty to do before our guests arrived. Hopefully, I can make it happen this week.
New videos on YouTube -
So, what's new with you?
