Text of the page (random words):
titching progress over the past week or so and am enjoying both projects immensely first up we have the fox and rabbit mystery stitch along royal gardens yesterday i finished the november clue and have set it aside to wait on the final december clue this has been a fun stitch along as well as a massively good learning experience however i don t intend to do next year s mystery project i think i d prefer to search out known patterns at this time and already there s such a backlog in my brain of things i d like to create next up progress on a pattern i did choose and am definitely eager to keep working on the pavane for these times i finished the second page so that s two pages out of nine complete and i just started on the third the one project that i need to get back to but haven t yet is the temperature tree i still need to add all of october s leaves as well as the rest of the year at least the tree itself is complete i am sure i ll get october added soon but i haven t been super inspired about it yet 2 months of empties november 1 2023 shellssells 1 comment i have saved my trash again and have photographed it for 2 months of empties and another inventory update but i just wanted to give an overall update i did not clearly count what i started with but at the first february update i had 192 items and after this november 1 update i have 135 i had made the point to purchase very little in order to take advantage of end of the year deals but now that i am close to it i am not certain really how many items i need even now which is a pretty good feeling here s an assortment of the larger items i finished up over these past two months there have been plenty of other sample size items as well but i just can t be bothered to keep those types of things anymore and now for a listing of the categories that have changed for better or worse sunscreen i finished 3 total and now have 3 total in stash i aim to get that down to 2 and will be able to do so before the end of the year 1 mineral sunscreen and 1 regular sunscreen cleanser i finished up 2 over the past two months leaving me with 3 total i will likely always have about 3 one for the shower one for my sink and one to travel with retinol i did not finish any but purchased 2 as i am close to finishing 1 i now have this fairly dialed in to one i like best so i ll just be repurchasing that currently i have 4 but will end the year with 3 face masks i finished 1 and i have 1 cleansing oil balm finished 1 purchased 4 to stock up and try some new since i do wear makeup almost daily i do run through these regularly currently i have 6 in my collection and will not purchase more before the end of the year i finished an eye serum and purchased an eye serum i have 2 right now i finished a vitamin c serum and purchased one which i dislike i ll be on the hunt for another while i finish the current one up i received a free lip balm so now i have 8 i used 3 moisturizers up and i have a few more close to being done i also received a sample size currently i have 7 i won t purchase more before the end of the year moisturizing serums i received and used 1 and also used another so i have 3 in my collection currently i finished a hair primer and have none i finished a hair gel and have none i purchased a hairspray because i am close to finishing the one i have i have 2 currently i used a thickening spray and only have 1 i purchased a texture spray and now have 4 i finished a shampoo i now have 4 i finished a conditioner i now have 7 the lush kitchen subscription box strikes again here i received 2 more body washes but did use 2 up so no change in numbers i received a body moisturizer in the lush box but did finish one as well no change in numbers i finished a hand cream and now have 4 heading into the winter i may end up getting more and finally fragrance i received 2 but used up 3 so my numbers only went down by 1 all in all a pretty good couple of months further it s easy to determine that i still have plenty in most categories if you think about it i went a full year just trying to work through all the shampoo and conditioner samples in my collection alone so i don t even think i ll end up purchasing much on end of year sales because it feels like i could easily get through another year without purchasing too much more weekend stitching october 30 2023 shellssells leave a comment i made a point to have a nice relaxing weekend since this upcoming weekend is a flyball tournament there s never much time to do anything but flyball on a flyball weekend so i try to plan very gentle weekends before and after i started a new stitching project i discovered long dog samplers last year but did not feel i had the stitching expertise yet to try one this year after working on linen all year long i decided i am ready the pattern is pavane for these times and i am so excited to have finished the first page already there are 9 pages but the next stitch along clue will come out this week so i ll get back to that shortly however both the stitch along project and the temperature tree will be done at the end of the year so i am primed to find all the other projects for the upcoming year that i can create then something the same october 26 2023 october 25 2023 shellssells 1 comment back to the cross stitch again i had come to a stopping point with my projects i had started another larger project but was deeply uninspired about it i had my poppies project in the living room but was working on some knitting there but also did not want to break down the cross stitch station in the living room i wanted to start something entirely new some large project and even went so far as to plan it but i was also just too busy to get to the stitching shop while it was open to pick up thread and linen for it so i decided to work on a tiny project i already had in my collection a bit of a palette cleanser so to speak something tiny and pretty and easily finished in about a week these tiny daffodils turned out to be just the ticket the kit came with the little frame so it really did feel like a very complete project once finished i did start on another tiny project but also got sidetracked with puppy sitting spinning and then being able to go get supplies for a new large project now for something different october 25 2023 shellssells 1 comment or maybe very much the same for many many years spinning was posted on this blog but i really haven t done much of it as of late last week while our flyball team was at can am i was asked to take care of a 4 month old puppy of a teammate while she and her flyball dogs were gone so we had a scrappy little dog in our home along with our own dogs and when you have a 4 month old dog around you spend a lot of time outside the weather was truly perfect probably the last good weekend of weather for this season unseasonably warm and when not warm certainly mild good patio spinning weather so while the dogs were outside playing i decided to do that patio spinning back in the spring i had started spinning some batts i d finished one batt and started the second but i didn t finish the entire spin and i set it aside and didn t pick it back up again all summer so when i needed a patio spin it was an easy decision to just grab that project on the wheel and bring it out to work on i was delighted to get through the remainder of the second batt and then ply the project as well it turned out to be a pretty good seasonal spin the colors lend themselves well to october i ll show off the full skein once it s dry then i turned my attention toward the next spin and delighted myself with some plain superwash merino in gorgeous jewel tones i really enjoyed getting started on this one that being said for me it feels a bit like spinning season is over and i am likely now going to focus on other things again for a while this will not get worked on again until the spring unless some other unusual situation pops up stitching through the weekend october 9 2023 shellssells leave a comment in record time i blew through the october clue of the fox and rabbit mystery sampler only 2 more clues to go and i ll be finished i ve got a few things hanging around that i am going to work on but i also may decide it s time for a new project as well mainly because i ve decided that i love working on linen more than anything else and both linen projects are at a stand still glad i didn t overindulge in aida based kits prior to this realization more updates from the stitching realm october 5 2023 october 3 2023 shellssells 1 comment i ve actually been doing a bit of knitting lately as much of a surprise as that is but haven t gotten an opportunity to take a photo but i am also interspersing that with a fair amount of stitching the fox and rabbit 2023 mystery sampler has again gotten the most work added to it i am now at a place where i am caught up and can begin on the october clue so i took the opportunity to get a photograph of where i am overall in the project while moving the frame to a new position it is certainly coming together and has been a real joy to stitch i ve also learned a lot this year but next year i will not do a mystery sampler or a temperature tree instead i will just devote myself to whatever i ve got going on and not rush myself to catch up on anything at all i suspect it ll be a very busy year of flyball travel anyhow and i won t have a ton of time for this type of thing 4th quarter stash shop october 4 2023 october 3 2023 shellssells 2 comments and now on to the final quarter of the year here are the products i ve chosen to concentrate on over the upcoming 3 months i have considerably lightened the number of products i am concentrating on because as is often the case at the end of the year i would like to cycle through all my colored products so from my stash i ve pulled out all the eyeshadows blushes bronzers and highlighters i will use them and then they get added back into my stash honestly this is a good way to decide if i want to keep them all or if i am kind of over it but even more so it helps keep me focused on what i already have while the busy holiday season is upon us so for this quarter we have mac fix plus this was in a previous stash shop this year and i am close to being done this will get finished pur love your selfie foundation not my favorite foundation but perfectly usable a little light for me this time of year but i ve paired it with a powder that tends to darken it let s see if i can come close to knocking out a 4th languishing foundation in my collection i don t think i can finish but i can get close this bare minerals concealer has really been with me a long time and also does not look nice under my eyes so i am going to concentrate on it this quarter as a cover up concealer and see if i can finally remove it from my collection this weighs 15 grams there s no way to finish such a large navy eye pencil but i am going to concentrate on it the jecca blac primer needs to get used up i ll use this until it s gone even though i have almost no use on it yet even if it takes longer than 3 months it s getting used up starting at 17 grams i am sure i can finish the eyebrow pencil which will be good because it s not a fav and i have a fav i am going to move to using exclusively once i finish up all the extras in my collection this eyebrow wax from elf is something that i ve used over and over and almost no movement is ever made on it but also i have no eyebrow gels for hold anymore and i don t want to purchase new right now i plan to make this work this currently weighs 13 grams the bare minerals powder is deceiving this is a tiny sample size product but in reality i have this plus two travel size containers and so i am going to keep using them all until they are gone this is a powder that tends to darken my foundation so it s not a favorite and using it up seems wise i am eager to see how i get one with this but also with the knowledge that i don t think that there will be many finishes this quarter that should be ok though as i ll be well occupied and entertained by deliberately cycling through all my colored makeup in general 3rd quarter stash shop finale october 3 2023 shellssells leave a comment i am just going to say at the outset that despite using these items for 3 months nothing that i didn t fully finish changed weights in any way it was a disappointing 3 months of tracking the weights on the items because despite knowing i was consistently using these items there was no tangible way to see that but many items were fully used up so that part is a win here s where i started and here s where i finished though i very quickly dipped out on a number of items the lip product as well as the cream cheek products just didn t get used but i fully finished the sunscreens the setting spray the powder and the foundation plus the mascara as it s now been open for 6 months everything else had consistent use and i do think you can now see a dip in the bronzer pan i am still not done with the primer unfortunately but progress was

along with board games bike rides water exercises and volunteer opportunities during my trip i brought along the bothy threads poppy project i ve been working on i was able to work on the greenery quite a lot and as of right now i have finished half the project this photo was taken before finishing half but i am very close at this point this project really has not been my main stitching project i ve spent more time working on the mystery stitch along overall here are some of the newer motifs on that project i ve taken a bit of a break on this one as well and got the august temperature leaves placed on my temperature tree i also fully finished stitching the remaining branches so that they are all ready to go for the last 4 months of the year it feels a small miracle that i ve kept up on this but with only 4 months left to stitch i know i will finish it i did also start a new project but not enough is done on tha...
