Online Cross Stitch Magazine

No I still haven't found the cable...sorry I am looking while I am deep cleaning the bedroom though.

In the meantime I received my September Issue of The Gift of Stitching and WOW!
I love seeing Stitchers/Designers from around the world and what they are creating in different countries.
There are projects & charts not to mention clickable links which take you to learn more or see more.
I am thinking I need to make the Mary Queen of Scots Needleroll.
The inspiration from all the photos & websites are more than enough to keep you busy for the month or longer.
Even if your not a stitcher you should just take a moment to check it out!
Kristen Edwards, the editor & brains behind the magazine, is a dear soul that has blessed the readers with her talent.
Thank you Kristen for following those dreams and giving us a wonderful magazine.


Off to grade school papers, work on the church bulletin (they are testing me to see if I can do it right) & clean some more....say a prayer I find that cable!


Blessings 2 U Friends

I can't believe it I actually finished something today

I finished a stool order.
I also washed up some of the NEW wool that arrived this afternoon part of it will be dyed for a friends custom order...

Washed/hung out/ fluffed & folded 3 loads of regular laundry

Narrowed down the paint swatches by two (only 20 to go) for the living room.

and fed the kids dinner.

Back to my stitching project....
more later....

~*I have been tagged!*~ These drugs must be good I didn't even feel it!

There I was just sitting back watching "CHUCK", finishing a snippet bag for one of my Snippet & Tool Stools, which needs to get packed in my suitcase with the others so I can get my clothes in there, when my phone 'dings', which means I have an email.

I put my stitching down to check the mail & I find out I have been TAGGED?!?!??!?

Tagged by my dear friend Betty, who I am learning is a little bit of a stinker sometimes!

Being old I have no idea what the rules are of 'cyber blog tag' I have to research Betty's Blog "primitivebettys" to figure out what I have to do now.

LOL I have to tell you 5 things about myself (gee I guess if you read my blog you would know way more than 5 things about me) and tag five more friends...gee do I have 5 friends?

Okay Okay I will play along, thankfully we have the eldest sons DVR and I can watch the end of CHUCK when I am done!!!

1. I love old things, not antiques, although I do like them too, but old things that most people would throw away...like these old glass bottles I found while hiking through Old Mill Creek when I was 18 they were buried 1/2 way in the mud near what was left of an old farm foundation. They are on my display ledge in my kitchen with lots of other old things I have found or been given.

2. I was adopted as a baby & found out when I was 18 when someone said something to my sister, she came home & told me.

3. I have a 1/2 brother that was born 4 -6 yrs after me, around Christmas, that was also given up for adoption.

4. My Birthmother was also adopted around 4 yrs old, so I would love to find out my family history & nationality.

5. I want desperately to own a farm in the Virginia mountains where I can raise endangered breeds of farm animals & have school children visit on field trips to learn about farm life.

hhhhhmmm who to tag, who to tag
