One of the projects that isn’t even on my 2022 list to get started but will definitely be on my 2023 list is Huckleberry Farm by The Blue Flower. I don’t remember when I bought this chart . . not long ago but definitely before Thanksgiving. Sheri showed it on her last flosstube (starting about 7:19). Seeing hers . . it’s so pretty . . made me want to start it now, it’s not on my 2022 list! When I first got the chart, I had pulled a bit of the floss for it but not all. I dug it out to at least get all the floss ready. I had to make two floss substitutions, though I know I have the floss and I’ll be on the lookout for those so when I do come across them, I’ll know to put them with this chart.
It seems like so much of my linen is tan or yellow so I may have to make some adjustments to my floss. I don’t put linen in my kits because I don’t have enough to spare. Floss . . that’s coming out my ears but I’ll be doing good to not run out of 40 count linen by the end of this year. I have plenty of 36 count so I’ll be fine.
Don’t you love my business card floss tags with Chad’s old truck and Addie in the driver’s seat.
Speaking of the old truck, Chad had ordered new tires for it and he’s finally back to being off work on Friday so his plan was to take the truck in on Friday and have the new tires put on. But, there was ice on the roads and DOT had salted the roads so he didn’t want to get the old truck out so he took all four tires off, took them to the tire shop, had the new tires mounted, brought them home and “installed” them himself. Poor Chad. It makes me so happy to see him really caring about taking care of the old truck.
Look at how he has all his tools stack on that shelf under the window. I don’t even know what all those things are but everything has to be in its spot . . all the time . . for Chad. I know he gets so frustrated with me and all my clutter.

I just put that chart on my wish list….lol I may look at my wish list again on my birthday and order some things…lol Better than a ticket to an online presentation about politics that my husband teased he was getting me! I do love those tags you had made! Seeing those tools on the wall made me smile. Serious wood workers have their tools organized. My husband has plans to build some storage things and some of his tools will be like that this summer. I used to be organized with some stuff but I think I let that all go at some point. I’m hoping some of that organizing mojo will come back!

I saw that chart too, so pretty. At the time, I searched for it and couldn’t find it in stock. Maybe it is back around now. The swallowtail is what I like best, and the yellow house summery colors.

I had ordered it when it first came out and it was out of stock at 123 Stitch for the longest time. That was before Colorado Stitcher but I did eventually get it. It had been on my radar and I almost added it to my stitching this year – mainly because the colors are so different from the colors I usually use but after seeing Sheri’s .. I really want to stitch it.

I can’t believe there is someone more organized than you!! Did you ever get the Christmas card with the old truck on it? One of the puzzles Pat got me was an old red truck with lab puppies and Christmas presents in the back of it!

Did not. Today we found one of our tax documents in the street! So . . who knows where our mail ends up.

I kept thinking about this chart off and on today so I finally bought it tonight! I almost bought it several times today….lol Actually it was my enabler husband who reminded me this evening that my birthday was coming up. 🙂 And for good measure I looked at her other patterns and I bought Quilt Bee too. I seem to be collecting bee projects which is kind of appropriate since Utah is the Beehive state.

I had never seen Quilting Bee. Love it. Not getting it . . at least not today. 🙂
I read your comment to Vince and he said “I just don’t know . . I bet there are a lot of husbands who don’t like you (me) at all because of what you convince their wives to do.” Your husband likes me, right? 🙂
Cindy F says
Vince’s comment made me laugh! Tell him that my husband likes you and the stories I share with him….and he doesn’t mind me ordering stuff….at least not yet! 🙂

—I bought it yesterday too. I found it on Etsy, last one, but then went to 123Stitch to look at the colors, and saw they have it again. I also saw the Bee, and thought since it was a small…but I was able to show some restraint LOL.

Yay! Are you going to start it soon? Aren’t the colors so pretty?
