Friday's Stitching Ground 🧟‍♂️

Today I was actually stitching something else, but I can't show it yet! But tonight I thought I would start adding to the outside of the house.


I did finish Dr. Frankenstein and his monster this week, I like how he turned out.


This evening I'm enjoying this tasty treat, good thing we have another kind of stash here!


This week I've been walking every day with Nathan and his friend, M - they are our one family that we are associating with during this time. It keeps the boys busy outside, they get their exercise riding a scooter and skateboard, and I get my walking in! Today DH joined us since he was off work and these were our sights.
I chose beauty today.


Have you been able to go outside and get some fresh air? Hopefully the weather is nice enough for you to enjoy it.

Astrid, The backstitching added alot of Dr. Frankenstein!! The ale looks tempting. You are way ahead of us on the blooms!! I just saw tiny peeks of yellow on my forsythia yesterday. I'm staying put except for my daily walk in the woods. Stay well...

Pretty sights you saw.
Dh and i spent time in the garden this morning. It was lovely to be at one with nature, breathe the fresh air and hear the birds singing.

Just love that Halloween design. Such cute characters! I have gone out almost everyday. Today my DD and a dear friend and I went for a walk along a wonderful beach along Puget Sound! Your pictures were so pretty and what a good positive thought for the times.

Yesterday it was really cold here so our outside walking was limited. Had to do an early morning grocery run for my elderly friend so that was my 'out' for the day. Last time I'm going for groceries for the duration. From now on I plan to order them online & have them either delivered or use the drive in pick up option. No flowers to be seen here yet, sadly.

Your Halloween Mansion is looking great! I love all the personal touches.
We have been enjoying some walks in the sunshine too although the wind is chilly!

Lovely shots from your walk - loving seeing the daffodils! I have been going out for runs, as I am no longer cycling into work. Making the most of the nice weather and the slight chill in the air so I don't overheat on my run! Loving how your Mansion is looking x

Glad you guys are able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. The Halloween Mansion is looking great! Can't wait to see your new project ;)

Hey I've had that one! I love sour drinks. All the Sour Me drinks are good!! The mansion is looking fantastic. It's been cold and rainy here so no being outside. We are talking about going down to our cabin this weekend though. Even though it's supposed to be rainy. We want a break. Wait we need a break.

There's definitely a lot of beauty around, especially bird song now that the constant humming of cars has all but disappeared. Haunted Mansion is fab. I've just noticed how the moon looks like it's sleeping with a big smile. Look closely... the top two bats are the eyes, and the other a wonky grin. Brilliant!
