TNT: On the Road Again

 

There's not much progress to show this week because of all the back and forth to Daughter's house to sit the Grands. I had meant to pack this away after I finished the small snowflake on the right side of the heart last week but then the bigger snowflake underneath it looked interesting so Christmas Quaker is still with us for at least another week. 

When you unexpectedly wake up to this, stitching snowflakes seems like the thing to be doing tbh.

If you told me I'd be on the 4th block of the Patchwork of the Crosses quilt so soon I would not have believed you. I don't spend much time on it every day but I do spend some time on it and I'm surprised at how it's moving along at such a nice pace. 

I don't have much to show for a week with the needlepoint projects but I did work on them both. As for slowly but surely, The Mister finally finished his Halloween PbN last week. I had a good time watching this come together. It looked like absolute slop for most of the time and then like magic it came together. I like it. 

And...early yesterday morning I decided to experiment with Betty once again after giving her a very heavy nighttime feeding. This time I followed along with the lady on the Life Changing Same Day Sourdough YouTube video. It was the very first time I got a dough that acted like dough. No sticky glop. Eureka. 

Twelve hours later I got a rather beat up looking mini loaf of sourdough bread. It's still a HUGE improvement from what has come before. It actually poofed up this time. I'm not sure what's going on inside of it because I'm not cutting it until I get it back up to the Grands today. My little helper deserves to see the first cut.
