Six Stitchy Things

SIX STITCHY THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME:

1. My favourite fabric of all is Banjo Cloth. It's just a simple rustic aida but it is perfect for country / primitive designs.

If you have any to sell or trade... email me!

2. I have 40+ Crossed Wing Collection charts.  Including the Christmas Cardinals Design that is now OOP.  I've never stitched any of them. :(

3. I stitch in-hand.  I've tried Q-Snaps, frames, hoops, etc.  I just can't do it.

4. I am a reformed Linen Snob. Evenweave is my soul-mate. 

5. At last count, I've finished 169 cross-stitch pieces.  It's possible I have the same number of WIPs. 

6. I AM a silk snob. Vikki Clayton's Hand-Dyed Fibers were, and forever will be, my favourite silks.  I have dozens of skeins and spools.  I use them sparingly as there are no more to be made.

7. BONUS:  My favourite cross-stitch photos:

What stitchy things do you have to share? I'd love to know!

Happy Stitching Ya'll!

Hurricanes, Rehab, and Birthday Giveaway Reminder

My mother will be moved to rehab this afternoon!  #GoMom!

Morgan Rose and MeiMei

Please send prayers and good thoughts to all in the path of Hurricane Florence.  May the Good Lord protect you and keep you safe.

I have the double-biopsies tomorrow morning and I've become quite anxious.  I think I'll stitch for a while.

P.S.  My Birthday Giveaway will begin on October 1st!  Three Winners!

Be safe, happy stitching.

Labour Day Weekend, Mom Update.

Can August really be at it's end? It has been a very long, complicated, terrifying month. I'm happy to see September.

My Mom's sinus / ear surgery went well.  She's in stable but critical condition.  Praying for her recovery. Thank all of you for your prayers and good thoughts. They are deeply appreciated.

I finally stitched last night.  October Girl is nearly done.  I hope to finish her before the stroke of midnight!

She's been a lot of fun to stitch.  Now, to do August for Morgan Rose and December for Michelle. The bond between Mothers and Daughters...

Have a Blessed Shabbat

I'll be praying the Rosary for my Mother at 11:30.  You can join me here, if you would like:

Come Pray the Rosary

May God Bless you all on the long Labour Day Weekend. Stay Safe. Happy Stitching.

Update on my Mom and a birthday.

Mom is stable but very critical.  She's had TIA (Pin) Strokes, she's on the ventilator, and it's still touch-and-go.

Please pray for her.  She means everything to me and my family. Especially to Morgan Rose... they are peanut butter and jelly.

Today is my youngest daughter's 26th birthday -- bittersweet for her today.  Happy Birthday Morgan Rose!

I'm going to try to stitch some today -- maybe it will help me relax and calm down.

May your day be blessed.  Happy Stitching.
