Lovely Cozy Weekend

 We had an absolutely LOVELY weekend!

Friday night, we went to our favorite bar here in Pueblo.  It's at a really cool food court-esque spot called Fuel and Iron.  We had a couple of drinks and then hopped down to our favorite vegan spot called The Cutting Board.  They have the best sandwiches I have ever put into my face hole.  It was drizzly and a little chilly, which I love!  

Here's a pic of the sandwich I usually get- this pic is of the first one I had back when we visited to look at houses in July and it doesn't look like much but HOLY SHIT- Confit portobello, shallots, pickles, spinach, vegan gouda (this man is a freakin melty cheese WIZARD- usually vegan cheese melts minimally if that), and some special chipotle aoili.  I've had a few other things there and always come back to this.  

Saturday we did adulting, and it looked like rain all day, but didn't actually rain.  Apparently, it doesn't rain a ton in Pueblo, and it's sort of a situation like it was in Hutto.  70% chance of rain elsewhere means it's 70% chance of no rain here.  lol but I don't mind because it's not balls-ass hot all damned year.  Then Sunday, the only things I did that were "adulting" were laundry and a bit of grocery shopping super early and then the rest of the day was snuggled up on the couch doing cross stitching and watching true crime and horror movies with my sweet lil husband.  Here are the results:

I finished my Amanita Phantasia pattern by Noctiflora designs on Saturday evening. This is my second pattern by her.  I have a few and LOVE the colors she uses, so I will be stitching up a few more of these beauties soon!  And I dyed this fabric myself :)  

I've had this pattern for a while.  I am a huge horror movie fan and so I had to get this.  I did "zombie green" on black aida.  Black aida is a bit of a challenge but I really love how other colors pop on it.  I am not great at stitching on it, but I think I'll start doing more so I can practice and get better.  

Pattern is by badstitchclub on Etsy.

And I was in the mood, after being a gore whore, to stitch up a snowflake.  I LOVE stitching snowflakes!  I can't remember where I got this skullflake pattern.  I stitched it on glittery aida with etoile floss, but the glitter, of course, doesn't show up very well  :(  BOOO.  Oh well, I still think it's cute!  

This week will be a short week, since we are off on both Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving.  I will be decorating for Christmas but I'm sure to find more time for cross stitching and I also have a pattern I printed out on Stick N Stitch that I may get around to embroidering!
