Most every night I make a list . . a real pencil and paper list . . of the things I need to do the next day. It seems like between about 6 p.m. and midnight, there's a steady stream of things that I need to get done that run through my head but when I get up in the morning, all I can think about is cross stitching. Most days, I feel like I've accomplished a lot if I get half the things on my ...
Sulky Thread
Maybe Friday should be my day to share "Haul". For those who don't watch flosstubes, many of the flosstubers share what they've received since their last flosstube and they call it "haul". Most days I think it would be more like "True Confessions" around here. I'll just keep sharing as it arrives because Vince would have a heart attack if he opened the blog (he doesn't and likely won't) and saw ...
Enabler Alert
Notice the title .. "Enabler Alert"? That means, according to my definition: If you click on the links; if you buy anything . . you cannot blame me because you were warned!" Got that? Denise, I'm talking to you! :) A few days ago I saw new releases or soon to be releases from Plum Street Samplers. There were four that have kept me awake at night! I wasn't sure when they'd be available for ...

Last night I looked at it and said . . something isn't right. I had measured and marked my starting corner but somehow, started the widest piece of the stitching, across the narrower piece of the fabric so the fabric was 11 x 18 and the 13" width of ...
The Garden
Way back in the fall, Vince ordered a dozen bare root elderberry trees, along with some crabapples and a couple of other trees. I planted them all in whatever I could find to plant them in. The elderberries, which I think are pretty hard to kill, have all budded out and are growing. They are all the same variety, though I don't remember the name but it was different from the ones we had in Texas. ...
The Links
Thank you all for letting me know what you're seeing. Enough of you have told me you're able to see and click on the links that for those who can't, it's something random and I have no idea what to tell you. I've checked in using the Chromebook, Windows laptop, Android tablet, Android phone, and iPad. Hopefully it's one of those things that will just start working correctly on its own soon. ...
