Yesterday I felt like I wasted so much of the day trying to figure out what to do with First Thanksgiving to make it how I wanted it. I suppose some stitchers change things with every chart and that's just part of the prep work but this is the first time I've done any real changes. Let's hope it works out. That top border row kinda looks like Addie practicing her cursive writing. She wants ...
First Thanksgiving Changes
These are the changes I'm going to make to this project. I know no one else is concerned with this but I'm typing them out and will link to them under this project on my project page in case anyone else who stitches this wants the info. I will change it as I go. Not all of these plans may work as I hope they will and I may find other things that need to be changed but for now . . this is my ...
First Thanksgiving
This project is not going well. My first thought is to put it away and forget about it but I feel like since I purchased both the paper chart AND the pdf, and I think I will really love it if I can get it finished, I should try to make it work. How do you think this would look up on my wall? I should keep stitching, right? :) So far . . not a fun stitch but I'm hoping it gets better. ...

I know this sounds bad but I still don't have the kitchen back to normal from Thanksgiving. The basket that goes into the turkey fryer is still on the counter. The bottom part that catches the drippings is still on the counter. Vince will take those ...
Love Your Family Is Framed!
Yesterday I did the lacing and fot Love Your Family framed. If I can get a better picture once the sun comes up, I'll do it and substitute the better picture for this one. I love it this! I have it hanging on my family/home wall and I feel like I'm starting to get a little "collection" there. There's plenty of room for more and I'll fill in and move things around as I get more. ...
Rita and the Turkey Meat
Your comments almost always remind me of something from the past. This was the time Rita got into the turkey meat. I know I've told this story before. Our house in Texas was very small. The kitchen, family room and dining room were all open and really one big (but not so big) room. Rita came to our house 7 or 8 years ago in October so it was the first Thanksgiving she had been at our ...
