I did stick with Kindness Matters. I went to bed thinking that's what I would stitch but until I got a few stitches in, I wasn't 100% sure I wouldn't change my mind. I'm stitching this on the side of This I Know and I'm not 100% sure what count this linen is. I thought it was 40 count and, if it is, I knew this piece would fit to the left of This I Know but if it's 36 count, it would have ...
January, 2024 Stitching Report
January has flown by. I was able to do at least some amount of stitching every day except one. I did a halfway decent job of not ordering. Here's stitching calendar for January.

Here it is the day I can start stitching and I still ...

This is more of a batter type bread than a sandwich type bread. I loved it for breakfast this morning. We had a thicker slice, toasted and topped with apple butter, along with sausage. I would compare it a little to something like banana nut ...
Sweet Little Cooper
First, sweet little Cooper gave me the night off from stitching because he chewed the magnifier light cord into two pieces. He did it while sitting right here next to me. So much for the attentive dog mom. Oscar had already chewed a few little "nicks" into the cord so I ordered a new cord a while back but Vince and I were watching a three hour breadmaking video and by the time it was over and he ...
