Y'all it's week seven and day 50 (what?) of this stitch journal! I feel like the time is passing much faster than last year; maybe it's because I'm not coming up with full designs every day. Maybe time is moving faster. Who knows?
Anyway, I kicked this week off with an unintentional nod to one of my favorite tv shows, What We Do In the Shadows. I did a few WWDITS pieces last year, including my lovely bat and an ode to Jackie Daytona. I forgot the Super Bowl was last weekend and it just so happened that on Saturday I found a piece of owl fabric in the ort jar and added to my piece. This set me up for the best kind of party - a Superb Owl Party. In Season 2, the vampires are invited to a Super Bowl party, but read the invitation as "Super Owl Party." It's amazing and sounds way more fun than a Super Bowl party. This episode also features one of my favorite Nadja quotes where she compares boring men to boiled potatoes. It's fantastic.

| February 13: Superb Owl Party |
 |
| February 14: Happy Valentine's Day - enjoy some French knots! |
 |
| February 15: this reminded me of friendship bracelets (chain stitch) |
 |
| February 16: I gifted myself a very long strand of pink thread so I used it for this line of split stitches. |
 |
| February 17: The weird fish shape I made always stares at me when I work on my journal, so I decided to add stitches to it once per month. |
 |
| February 18: It was very spring-like here this week, so I added some sun rays to the groundhog's lair (whipped back stitch). |
 |
| February 19: Learned how to make colonial knots today. |
My plan is to use the top of the hooped section to finish out February and then decide where to move the larger piece of fabric. I also hope to get some more work done on Sheep Metal this week, so there may be a WIP post mid-week. My month two/week eight recap will be up on February 28.
