Every Monday morning I remember my mother going down the steps to the cellar--to do laundry--even when she didn't feel well--she would go to the cellar and do laundry --and with me behind her--to help her--I even remember the wringer washer and yes--getting my arm stuck in it!!! we did not have a dryer though--we went out a set of back stairs to the outdoors and the clothes line--and I even remember the stiffer than a board frozen clothes!!!
For some reason now--I find I also do my laundry on Mondays for the most part--once in a great while like last week--it was Wednesday before I could do it--but everyone here as they go by me sitting in the lounge area waiting on the dryer and knitting-they all now just say--"it's Monday"!!!! ( and there is alot of Mondays when I don't feel all that great--but I still go down and do it--must be handed down from my Mother!!!!
Ok-- guess what day it is--????
We are now into the month of November---gobble gobble gobble, everyone!!!!
and here is my--
November goal--
1. To finish this quilt top--
with hand quilting--of course!!
2. this month's dirty dozen Number is #1
and that is this set of blocks--
A Buttermilk Basin project from 2-3 years ago--
the goal is to just get the top done--and maybe--get it layered and basted--we will see!!
And here is a 'better' look at the Hexagon stitch along that I am doing--
There is more designs to this set--coming right up!!!
Happy to be Scrappy--so pop over and say Hi!!!
And I got another Christmas block embroidered while watching racing this week end--
Let me tell you--there is a bunch of tiny stitches--to make this one--
a person could go 'cross-eyed' doing these--but so worth it--!!!
I have just one more design prepared for stitching--
and just one more week end of racing left for this season--
then what am I going to do for entertainment??????
And now for a little give away--
I am giving away the pattern to this counted cross stitching--
(if you live in the USA--it would cost me over $20 to send outside of the US right now--
sad!!!)
So if you would like the pattern --just let me know in the comments!!
I am still having an issue on having to go to another person's post page to do my posts--
anyone ever have this problem or know how we can fix it????
TAKE A MINUTE AND SEND A NOTE TO SOMEONE THAT YOU ARE THINKING OF THEM--
LUV AND HUGS, DI

Funny that you always wash on Mondays , I wash when the basket is full !
You have some lovely goals to work on this month...
Memories of your mom are so precious!! Yes, I found myself doing the things my mom used to do, we duplicate our moms a lot, I guess. Your embroidery pieces are adorable. Good luck with your goals.
I do laundry on Mondays and Fridays. I really only need to do it one day a week now, but Hubby gets antsy if it isn't done twice a week, like it was when I had 4 people home. I try to remind him that when we were first married it was once a week because we had to do it at one of our parents' homes. Love all of your projects by the way. The hexagon stitch along is so pretty. I would love that Halloween pattern. It is so adorable.
My mom was the same way - Mondays - regardless of the weather. I would love the pattern. I think the mouse stirring the cauldron is a such a cute Halloween pattern. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Busy as usual :) The hexagons are really sweet. I always like to see what you are working on.
Hope you are staying safe and well.
Hugs!
Great idea to take a minute and send someone a card. Good luck on your OMG project. It's gorgeous!
I used to mostly do laundry on Mondays too, but now I don't do it that often. Surprisingly, I actually miss doing DH's laundry. I'm making yoyos now while I watch TV in the evenings.
Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
