Saturday's Song: Surrounded (Fight My Battles). Slow Stitching. Stash Report.

Saturday Song: Surrounded
This week I was surrounded and then I heard this song, "Surrounded" sung by Michael W. Smith.  I was immediately encouraged and reminded who my Savior is!   


When we are surrounded, let us remember we are surrounded by God Himself!  


Slow Stitching Sunday
Today I slowed down with crocheting.  I made progress on my Spring Granny Afghan:

I also finished dishcloths 16-18/52 for the #yarnhoarderdishclothchallenge!

Here's the progress on my Still Stitching project.

I'm still working on building up the habit of sewing every day.  I'm curious, because I do machine sew, hand stitch and/or crochet every day.  Does that count?  Either way, I machined sewed 4/7 days this week - the same as last week!  And most of those days were at least an hour long or more!  Yea!  

Thank you to Kate at Life In Pieces for this challenge!  

15 minutes stitching days/week = 4/7 days
15 minutes stitching days since July 29, 2018:  14/21 days

Success Rate = 66%

  2. Your Spring Granny Squares are very pretty. As for as what to count for the 15 minute challenge, that's up to you. I count the time spent on anything that moves a project forward (that can mean spending time on the computer working up a layout or making a label). I count both handwork and machine time. So count what works for you.

    1. Yea! Then that would be every day of work! Days just don't feel complete without creating something! I guess I need to learn to be gentle with myself - as much as I say that, I should apply it to myself! LOL! :)

    1. Yes, it is a lot of link ups - and I enjoy each one as I get to meet new people as well as visit old friends. But, I don't visit everyone on each link up! Then who would have time to sew? :) I usually visit and comment on the posts before and after my post as well as the hostess' post. Thank you - I am surprised at how pretty the afghan is coming out! I'm so glad you stopped by! Hopping over to visit you! :)
