Last night I had just sat down to start stitching. My phone rang. It was Chad. "Can I talk to Vince?" Sure . . but Vince has TWO phones so why are you calling on my phone to talk to him? I didn't say that. I just told Vince Chad wanted to talk to him and handed Vince the phone. They were talking 3D printers and that lasted about 20 minutes, which is about 19 minutes longer than Chad usually talks ...
More Souper Cube Usage
The Souper Cubes (also available on Amazon and other places) make me so happy! Most of the garlic I harvested this year was chopped in the food processor and placed in the 2 T. cubes. I think I ended up with over 300 cubes of garlic. Each of the 2 T. cube trays has 10 "holes" and I have six trays. Every time I chopped the garlic, I filled all 6 trays five times so that's 60 x 5 = 300 but I ...
A Chart For a Cause
Teresa Kogut posted a day or so ago about the grandson of friends of theirs who has recently been diagnosed with leukemia. The young family is not only having to deal with the heartbreak of his diagnosis but the financial issues.

Day 2 of My Heart My Home

My hands are telling me that was maybe a bit too many to stitch in one day. I may not make it to 75% today but I can try. Above is where I had left off Friday night. Below is where I stopped on Saturday ...
For the Love of Nature Frame
The frame arrived today for the For the Love of Nature (Teresa Kogut) piece. The frame looks nice. It's just positioned over the piece - not laced or anything yet. I'm happy with my frame choice but not happy with the frame. I've mentioned before that I was in the Custom Frame Club and, it seems I'm more disappointed with each frame I get from them. There are three places that make ...
Struggling to Stay on Track!
Remember the package from 123 Stitch that was traveling the country? It got delivered today. It was shipped on December 30 and, along the way, it stopped at 11 different post offices in 11 different towns. Texas, Kansas, Missouri (four different times), and Alabama. It's here and that's all that matters! The package contained floss for several charts and one of them I have been wanting to start ...
