Here's my morning progress for A Changed World. Not much but I'm so happy to be working on it. I'm going to continue working on it for another hour or so and then I'll stop and fix our meal for the day. It's just leftovers but I'm making the eggplant parmesan towers again so that will take a few minutes. Otherwise, dinner will be fast and I'll be back to stitching. ...
Victorian Motto Floss
My cross stitching obssession began a bit later than a ton of other folks had decided to start cross stitching. I had no idea that so many people were doing it. My friend, Judy, showed a Christmas project she was working on from Stitching with the Housewives. When I saw that, I was hooked. It wasn't long before I discovered the monthly clubs. You could sign up for monthly or quarterly ...
My Stitching Buddy
I love how Boots wants to sit so close to me. Usually, the first hour or so, he wants to be on my lap with his head right under my chin. It's only after a few hours that he'll settle down beside me and let me stitch. Old Speck was always in my chair right next to me. I miss that dog so much and it's been almost four years he's been gone. I know I'll never have another dog like Speck but Boots ...

I had already put my numbers into the calculator but did it again before starting . . just to make sure. According to this, my fabric ...

That Time Again
Now that we're back to staying home because of Covid and not seeing Addie, more because of cheerleading and her schedule, my car isn't being driven. This morning Vince asked me when was the last time I drove my car. I had to think about it and the best I could remember, it's been 12 days since I drove it . . 12 days since I left the house and that was just to take Addie home, drop her off ...
