When we lived in Texas we were able to access the Houston Public Library as well as our local library through the Libby app. There are books that can be "checked out" and downloaded to read on the Kindle, as well as audio books I can listen to from the iPad. I'm sure there are many other ways to access print books and audio books but that's just what I use. We have a Carthage, MO library card ...
Chores Are Done
I am happy to say that the beds are all made! Clean sheets on three beds that were completely stripped down and moved. The furniture guys set the mattress up in the basement but didn't put the dust ruffle between the mattress and box springs so either Vince and I have to do that or I'll get Chad and Nicole to do it Sunday. Vince seems a little tired and not very talkative so I think this is one of ...
Today’s Chores
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 ...

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 ...
Ripping!
I had started working on Memorial Day, a new project. I stitched for two days . . not two full days but all my stitching time was devoted to that. 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 ...
