Planting Trees

March 3, 2021

The little fabric pots arrived today so I went down and planted 14 trees. I think it was 16 because a couple of the elderberries were tiny and I planted them together. Those one gallon pots are tiny too. I had forgotten how small one gallon pots are. Two of the elderberries were really big so I planted them in a bed on the side of the house. If Vince doesn't want them there, he can move them. They ...

A House Is . . Progress

March 3, 2021

As I had mentioned yesterday morning, I planned to work on Pet All The Dogs all day but that didn't happen. The house on the chart called for Classic Colorworks Ginger Snap which is close to an ecru with just a tad of a pink tint and it wasn't going to show up well on my fabric to the peachy pink for the house, which is Gentle Arts Raspberry Frost. The main part of the house stitching was done ...

Lessons From Texas

March 3, 2021

There are two things that I learned in Texas that I will never forget and they make me laugh every time I think of them . . though I wasn't laughing about it when I lived there. First, it's a good thing I didn't cross stitch in Texas because every single little piece of floss that ends up on the floor, no matter what color or what size . . it looks like a scorpion. Look at your thread scraps ...

Raynaud’s Syndrome

March 2, 2021

I had never heard of Raynaud's Syndrome til a couple of years ago when my hands got cold, a finger or two turned white and was numb. After a few times of it happening, I turned to Dr. Google, typed in what happened and sure enough . . there were pictures of exactly what I have. I did mention it to my doctor and he said it's nothing to be terribly concerned about with the minimal way it was ...

Chicken & Dumplings

March 2, 2021

One of my very favorite meals may be chicken & dumplings. Vince doesn't mind eating that but it isn't his favorite. Last night I was thinking about what foods I need to make that I enjoy that Vince doesn't enjoy as much so I can have those before he gets here. My sister and I used to beg my grandma to make dumplings. Back in those days, she'd go out, grab a fat hen, butcher her, stew it til ...

How Many WIPS?

March 2, 2021

As I watch floss tubes, I'm amazed, and sometimes frustrated at the number of WIPS some stitchers have. Of course, it's none of my business how many they have but it makes me frustrated just to think how I would feel if I had 100 WIPS. I have six or seven now and I'm sure many of you would be frustrated if you had that many. This morning, as I was stitching, I was thinking . . what difference ...
