Another Wednesday, another book + cocktail photo during Mama‘s Night Out! This week it‘s The Gown (I‘m apparently in my historical fiction era this month) and the Apples & Oranges which is a fall themed Moscow mule!

pickI found this a very engaging and enjoyable take. I liked the combination of fact with fiction. There‘s a smattering of romance and a soupçon of the supernatural. I enjoyed reading about Moroccan culture, it‘s very colourful and descriptive. It‘s beautifully written and very evocative of the time periods. The characters are well drawn. The ending maybe a little rushed but that‘s nitpicking. All in all a wonderful read.
I have an ARC of The Tenth Gift from when the title was ‘Crossed Bones‘. I‘ve had it on my TBR for quite a few years and the title has now changed, I don‘t know why, probably to do with reading trends at the time it was published. I‘m reading it with my online book group, https://thereadingloft.groups.io/g/main. The theme is ‘pirates‘ as it‘s ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day‘ on 19 September! 🏴☠️
Good book to have on hand! Lots of info for Sashiko projects. Use graphs individually or for the quilt project.
💛💛💛💛🎉🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌🙌Christine thank you so much! these all arrived in different packages and made it feel like the birthday extravaganza it was! Also- while i love it all- i was going to order variegated embroidery thread and now it is here!!!! This is going to be fun for a very long time.
I cross stitched this picture of this panda on Cross Stitch World (a cross stitching app). I like using it on my iPad because it‘s a bigger screen and it‘s easier to see the stitches. I‘ve never cross stitched in real life but this app is easy to use. You can either choose the patterns that the app has or you can choose pictures from your camera roll to cross stitch and the app creates the pattern for you. I love it.

For #showandtelltuesday, I finished cross stitching this picture last night of a sea turtle on a cross stitching app I use called Cross Stitch World. You can cross stitch any photo on the app and it will make the pattern for you. I‘ve never actually cross stitched in real life but with this type of cross stitching, you‘re not pricking your fingers with a needle. My mom liked the birthday card I made for her for her birthday on July 30th.

I've been learning embroidery! My 1st piece is on the left & my 2nd is on the right. 🏳️⚧️❤️
I got these kits from a small business called Capital Stitch Co. It comes with everything you need to make it. Thread, fabric, hoop, bobbins, pattern stabilizer, & even a needle!
BTW thank you for all the love & excitement over this new chapter! I promise I will get to everyone's comments & posts as soon as I can ❤️
