Thimble in the purse

Oh I won.... I won the JCS Halloween Magazine that Carolyn was giving away! What? I know, I did complain about my magazine basket... this is different. I do not have not one Halloween magazine and I need to make a few items. Yes, I could have bought it, but ..... I will be participating in a Halloween exchange and this will be just in time to find something to stitch.
Speaking about stitching.... I took Guinevere off the sewing machine today and completed my BBD Exchange piece and this

The blue fabric is the lining and the brown is the back piece. I decided not to use linen for the backing. The  cord is a simple silky cord that I found in the trim box. I am pleased with it....
I have heard from Cheryl that Madame Muriel has safely arrived back in DC.  I think she will be going out for a few excursions with Cheryl this week or so.
Well, I have so much to do... Dear Ziz is coming over shortly and I still need to get a few things done. Goodness, I have not even gone out to get the paper... and it is right out the garage door. So I hope you will excuse this quick post... I do hope you have a great day.

A schnozzola and something dainty

Well, just got the day off.... hmmmm, what shall I do? Maybe Mr H and I will go to a museum.  But first...I have been stitching

just look at that schnozzola! You do know about schnozzolas don't you...it is a large  and often misshapen nose. She may not be pretty, but she has my attention...The Witch now has a face and a blouse... well, almost a blouse. See the little button I added to hold the shawl closed? I added dark blue beads for her eyes. Just making my changes....
and tatting

Just finished this delicate motif. This is why I learned to do split rings.... it is so pretty.... I have to make another one or two... maybe someone would like one for their Christmas tree?  and as I was still practicing my split rings, these flew in.... more dragonflies... soon I will need to find homes for them! I think some butterflies are on the schedule soon.  I have needle tatted them, but now it is time to shuttle them.
This morning Madame Muriel is on her way back home to Washington DC. She should arrive by Saturday and she is bringing a little southwest to Cheryl. Taht about does the news from here. So happy you found some time to share with me. Thank you for the kind words and emails.... have a wonderful day.

A message from Madame Muriel

Well hello again from sunny and very hot Arizona. I arrived back to Gracie from Chaira in Italy. My stay is only a short one as I am returning to Cheryl in DC very soon. I have noticed a few changes here...

The first thing I noticed was there is a new car in the garage...... the very next thing was that there is no Zoe. She was so gentle and just liked sitting with me......you can see our first meeting in the picture on the left side bar.... she tickled me with her sniffs. Then I saw a tray with all this thread and beads. Gracie has learned to tat.  She also is getting ready to make another quilted bag and let me help with square placement. There is this large basket in the sewing room with many give away items soon to be posted. I really do not think staying around here is a good idea. It is the summer hot time with monsoon weather.
The temperature was a 108 the other day! We will not be outdoors to often. I had an unexpected long vacation in Italy. Besides, Cheryl has missed me so I think going home is a nice plan, but first I would like to shop for a few Arizona souvenirs to take along.
                    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Isn't is nice to hear from the Madame again? I am sure Cheryl will have some plans for her when she arrives back in DC. As the Madame said, I will be soon posting more of my stash clean out items needing to find a new home. If you look closely at the picture with the tatting, I did make another ornament...a tree with all red beads and now am working on one with all gold beads and then will make one with all green beads. I am trying to get a head start on some Christmas RAK's. Of course I will still send out some spiders and reindeer food.  The hardest part of making one of the quilt square bags is deciding which square to put next to which square!! There are 22 and only one of each print in this one. I have some errand to run and hope to get them done very early...the bank and Post Office both open at 8 AM so that maybe the time to start. With this monsoon season we are having humidity...and of course it is already warm to begin with. I would much rather be indoors with the air on. This year my allergies are acting up and a morning headache is the norm. Guess that is about it for now. i enjoyed our chat today, thank you for visiting. Have a nice day.

Early start to my day..... 3 am

Lately I have been able to sleep a little later...not today. I was up at 3 and by 3:30 I was making this

It is a bracelet I saw on YouTube.... with pearls and crystals. I just

had to make it. Mr H and I took a ride to the bead shop, well I went to the bead shop he went to the Oriental Market...same parking lot. It was quick and easy to make.... guess that means I will have to make another.
I mentioned yesterday that Madame Muriel has returned to the USA from Italy. She had an extended stay with Chiara...I hope I have linked this correctly. She is on WordPress....her blog is the Grey Tail.  There were so many things to do and see in Italy and to assist with Taras the kitty....Anyway, the Madame is back with lovely gifts for me...

 a few of the goodies.... and then of course there is the Madame

 She visited lot of interesting places which Chiara wrote about at thegreytail.wordpress.com... be sure to stop there. So that brings us to where will  Madame Muriel visit next? Would you like to host her for a month or two? Please email me with your comment and tell me why she should visit with you. I know she is eager to bring some gifts your way and to travel around with you.
I do have a few other things to post.... right now Mr H is wandering around outside babbling about the Quails building a nest in a hanging plant out front. Something about now he knows why it is dying and they are not going to build a nest that high. First of all, our experience with these birds is that they are ground nesters...the babies do not fly for few weeks so they would never be able to get out of the nest safely. I think I should brew him a cup of tea....even if the temp is already 101 at 9:57 AM.... going to be a very hot day again. I will show you more pictures tomorrow. The phone is ringing, Mr H is still wandering around ...got to run. Thanks for spending time with me. Have a great day....

A late post about tomorrow

It is too hot to trot out here in Arizona...but the mail just arrived....The Madam is back and ready to travel. Wait until you see the pictures tomorrow. Thank you Chiara for the lovely gifts...I will treasure them. Hopefully Mr H will share the books from the Museum! See you all tomorrow.

A finish....

I just finished my new bag....

The bag is a nice large size but not over powering. I could not find buttons that I liked and I needed 8, so I bought wood discs and drilled holes and stained them and voila! I am already thinking which fabric to get to make another. I think these two look fab together.
And yes, it seems I can post pictures again. Also my page is back to normal. Little things do mean a lot sometimes. We are in for another hot hot hot day. My only errand is to the doctor...routine stuff. I may attempt to stitch today...and I really want to finish my braiding... just can't decide to make a bracelet or necklace. I am leaning toward the bracelet which I tend to wear more of.
Well, my stomach is asking for food......I think Southwest Hash browns and scrambled egg with a cup of tea. Thank you so much for all your kind words and emails. I truly appreciate your friendship. Madame Muriel is thinking about where to travel---you still have time to let us know if you are interested in having her visit with you. She has 3 offers so far...Italy, Australia and Pacific NW. I do hope you have a wonderful day.

Lost my stitching energy but Madame Muriel is here

I have looked everywhere.... in the craft closet, out on the lanai and the garage. I just can't find my stitching energy. I know it will be found, it always is, but for now, it is missing. So what have I been doing? Well, for starts, I began and thought I would finish a tote bag. Thought I had everything at the ready. I forgot to get the heavy duty Pellon. Everything is cut and prepared. Since I will be at work today I will get it so I can work on it tomorrow... day off. I have been in the mood to sew... by machine. This is the fabric for the bag...I love it!

 But I did get ready for another hand embroidered piece.... I have to blame Kaaren from The Painted Quilt for the wonderful projects she designs and offers. She is just so talented and generous to share.

The temp was 114 yesterday and promises to be a hot week. Poor Ms Zoe does not even want to go outside... but until she learns to use and flush the toilet, well, outside is where she will be sent. I think the arthritis pills are helping... very hard to tell. But she is getting a bit more forgetful. However, she is not forgetful when she smells food. Did I mention she gets her pills broken in pieces and wrapped in Prosciutto? To say she is a spoiled pooch... excuse me, "member of the family" as Mr H told me to refer to her... is a fact.

A word from Madame Muriel

Well, hello friends. As I mentioned in a previous post, this hot weather is getting to be a little too much for me. I am fine in the lovely air conditioned house and car, but I am just too hot to do or go anywhere. So, after a discussion with Ms Zoe, I am looking to travel again. I have enjoyed my time here. Seeing the cacti, sitting by the little pond watching the large fish eye me as they swim by, and chatting with the dolls in the sewing room. So, if you are interested in hosting me for a visit, I am taking requests, so please comment or email me and I will be getting ready for a departure by the end of the month. Let me know why I would like to visit with you.
Have you noticed? My blog seems to be back to normal... whatever that is. I had to change the way I connect. Now I am using Firefox and I deleted many pictures from Picasa. Lots were duplicates anyway. So for now, I seem to be able to function. I do hope you have a great day. Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words. I do enjoy hearing from you.

Mail~~new start and the Madame

I am still having blogger issues. I am not seeing my "regular looking" page... I can not correct it.... and it is frustrating. I do hope you can bear with me through this. I have been unable to comment on some blogs, get mine to sign out or in. When I go to the template page it looks right! Now I cannot upload photos...reached my limit...
Before going out the door to work yesterday, the post arrived....

I did manage to quickly open it. It is Kumihimo Braiding. I ordered it from Nordic Needle. I is complete to make an 18 inch necklace.... I think I may take some of it out and change it to a bracelet. The choice of material colors was by chance. It is quite simple and the directions are very easy to follow. I even took their suggestion of using pennies....25 of them as a weight.

I am off to work today... got to come home a little early yesterday. I would rather stay home to stitch and braid. I Am still waiting for Nic to reply to my address request for the magazine. If I do not hear from her this weekend I will draw another name
A word from Madame Muriel

Hello my friends. I have enjoyed my visit here with the family. Ms Zoe has been very gentle and not a problem at all. Mr H has included me in taking rides and of course Gracie has taken me to work, shopping, and to restaurants. I have enjoyed going to the big pool, a stitch group and just being in the yard.....but, it is time to think about looking for a new host. The weather here has been hot and it will be getting hotter yet. So, if you would like to have me visit and stay a while with you, please let Ms Zoe and Gracie know.
Thank you all for your kind words and emails. I really appreciate your visits. Welcome to new friends. Have a wonderful day.

What a lazy week....

This week has slipped away from me. It started with me not feeling great to me feeling so very tired and I admit it, lazy. I did have good stitch time....

HAED Iris is slowing progressing. I know some of you keep track of the stitch count, but I think it will be mentally productive for me not to. I will just look at it visually and not count stitches.

I also had finished the SAL with Manka but just never got to post it. I am thinking of how I want to finish it....

I am really pleased with my color selection of DMC....they are..#350, 352, 353, 469 and 471 and the fabric was from my stash...mystery 18 ct cream.

As others have noted, it was packaged and labeled clearly not to bend.... important for delivery. The kit is in a clear plastic envelope and the pattern is clear and easy to read. The Madeira threads are luscious and neatly wrapped on bobbins and labelled . The DMC conversion is also listed. I also had the choice of Aida or Evenweave, I chose Evenweave. I rarely buy a kit because I do not like not knowing what brand thread I get and that they are loosely wrapped in a hank which usually gets tangled. This is not so with

 It is all so neatly packaged and ready to go. I chose Still Life by Van Gogh. The colors are absolutely luscious. I hope to work on it some time in the near future....

A word from Madame Muriel

Hello out there. It has been quiet around here because my friend Gracie has not been herself. I have been for rides in the PT and went to AJ's with them. When we got home I found myself caught up...

Yes...it is a lobster and thank goodness he was already cooked. Mr H promptly set me free of the claw and began to prepare it to eat. I thought he would have offeed me a bite. No, instead, Ms Zoe got a few tastes! No wonder she is a bit plump. We had a storm brewing around us last night. The winds were strong and a few rain drops fell. It was really dark overhead, but the storm was south of us. The rest of this week, Gracie is working but she is making plans for the weekend. I will be picking some tomatoes with Mr H today....

It looks like they will soon be gone.

So glad you visited with me and of course gracie...welcome to our new followers and we do hope your day is a good one.

Iris, SAL and the Madame

The end of April already! It just seems as though these months are are blur. Speaking of "the last", I downloaded my last issue of GOS yesterday. How sad to loose this wonderful magazine. I wish Kristen the best in her future plans.
For the first time I am involved in a SAL... I joined Manka's SAL along with 170 others. You can click on the button on my sidebar to visit the website. I also could not resist and started it this morning. I chose my own colors based on her example. I will post a picture soon. In the meantime, here is Iris....

This is a slow stitch.... but I am enjoying it. I have used 10 of the 90 colors so far. I think this is about 40 stitches.... I work on it a little each day.    Talking about flowers.... look at this sweet Hibiscus that opened today

The colors...... only nature can do this. Don't want to bore you with the blooms in the garden, but it is so nice to wake each day, year round to one flower or another in bloom.

A word from Madame Muriel.......

Yesterday we went out to get a few plants. Mr H does not like to see an empty pot in the garden.

I could not resist sitting among the Cosmos blooms while he readied the pot. The soft pink and bright yellow centers are so delicate and comfy too. There is a small pot of red Geraniums, and bright pink Dianthisis and pink Vinca. I noticed that when when shop for plants.... Gracie just pushes the shopping cart. Mr H finds all the lovely flowers. Well, she did help select the plant for the kitchen.

Just look at all the tomatoes we have to pick today. I guess I will be calling Dear Ziz... I do hope she wants some. Gracie is going to make some salsa later for the Blue Corn Chips.

The temps yesterday were in the mid 90's and expected so for today so it will be indoors until early tomorrow. Then we get to sit out on the glider early morning. All the bunnies come out then and as long as we remain quiet they ignore us. That is all for today. Thank you for checking in on my adventures and following Gracie's progress on her stitching. Have a great day.

Madame Muriel here....

Hello everyone. It has been very quiet here since the brother left. Gracie worked yesterday and will do so today so Mr H and Ms Zoe and I will have a stay at home day. I sat outside for a little time....this is the comfy glider on the front porch. I think the Quail nest behind here has been abandoned. Gracie said that happens sometimes. The eggs are still there and she will not remove them until she is absolutely sure. Mr H has not felt well these past few days so Ms Zoe and I keeping ourselves busy. Well, as for Ms Zoe.... she sleeps most of the day. Other than eating and going out to take care of business.... she sleeps. She really is just an old girl. I had to come inside as I am not allowed to stay out by myself just in case a coyote saunters by and Gracie is getting ready for work.
Gracie has completed about 300 stitches on HAED Iris.... pictures probably tomorrow. She keeps busy....
Well, that is all to report for now. Thank you for checking on my adventures. Hope your day is relaxing and nice.

Cloudy day....and the Madame is back

Today is starting off very overcast and cool. It is so refreshing..... a light breeze and the chimes are singing......Maybe it will rain...

Mr H and I just relaxed yesterday... it was a nice quiet day. Our years together have been special. Through wonderful as well as trying times, we have been each others strength.  I did not stitch at all but I did read and we watched a movie. I must download another library book to my eReader. The guest room is back to my sewing retreat. Ms Zoe went in a few times looking for the brother....

Madame Muriel has returned to the guest room....

Hello everyone. I am back from my stay in the Master bedroom with the angels. The brother was very nice. Everyone was busy while he was here. Today I think I may go out with gracie and Mr H. I know they have a few errands to run. I also see that there are so many tomatoes to pick. Mr H said something about cooking them and freezing them.  Last night gracie made a white pizza with red and yellow tomatoes from the garden. The smell was devine. I think there will be cinnamon rolls baking later..... I am happy to have you follow my adventures here with Ms Zoe and her family in Arizona.

Well, my friends, thank all so very much for all the kind wishes for our anniversary. I am a very lucky lady to have him in my life. He spoils me and I love it! While I wait for rain... if it does rain today, I will stitch and try to get a few errands taken care of. In the meantime, hope your day is wonderful and hope to have you back real soon.

NOTE: Jo is having a wonderful giveaway.....so check it out here....

Hot and hotter

The day started warm and quickly became hot. By 4 pm it was 100. Needless to say, we are back home, inside and enjoying the air conditioner. Today we visited the Desert Caballeros Museum. Mr H and I really enjoy going there and brother liked it too.

I love this sculpture. The Cowgirl Up exhibit was wonderful.

I love that they have rooms set up and this one of the mother stitching......

A word from Madame Muriel....

This is where I am spending my time while the brother is visiting. Not a bad spot! I have the lovely angels to sit with and there is a large window....very nice. I will be back more often to post when the brother leaves. He is very nice. I interrupted his sun sitting today. I will try to get a picture. The other day, Gracie called Dear Ziz to see if she wanted more tomato's. We have more than we can eat. Of course when Gracie picks them, one in the bowl and one in her mouth....anyway, while they were chatting, the brother said he needed limes...for the Tequila. Now before we could go to the market to get some...of course, Dear Ziz, who overheard the brother in the back round,  attached a bag of 3 to the back gate. I knew she was a nice friend when she let me sit in the middle of her table. Well, Gracie has managed to get some stitching started ...so I will let her show you....

HAED Iris ~~ 28 ct white even weave~~DMC colors listed

This is about 84 stitches but since taking this picture, I have only 10 more to complete the first 100. Mr H said..."this will take a long time". He is so observant! Time to go and relax....I am glad you stopped by, I hope to get back to reading and commenting real soon.

Counting the days, tomatoes and the Madame

Just 3 more days and my brother will be here visiting.  This year he made the plans for his week here in Arizona. Before he arrives on Wednesday, I will need have to make a little room for him in the guest room. Yes, the Madame will temporarily move into our room while Alan is here. 
Our tomato plants are giving us plenty to enjoy..

I picked this large bowl of them On Friday afternoon. There are more to pick today ... last night I made a white pizza with them and it was delicious. I know, I always say I do not cook. I don't, but I do make the pizza. Today I think a nice cucumber and tomato with prosciutto de palma sounds just right.

Yesterday was a day for errands which I will say included in Mr H taking me to get a box of See's Chocolates. The winds have been pretty steady here for the last 2 days. It seems as though today will be just a breeze flowing through.
 I hope to get the grid finished today for Iris. I still have to get some of the floss. What? you think because Alan will be here I won't have time to stitch. On the contrary. We enjoy sitting and reading and I do get to stitch. I have taken the week of from work so there will always be some time.

And now a word from the Madame....
Hello friends.... I have been busy. On Friday after we picked the tomatoes, we walked to the next courtyard to bring some to Dear Ziz...

She loves Gracie's tomatoes. And I got to meet their friend Marge (on the left) who is a snowbird although she looks like Gracie and Ziz. There is no resemblance to any birds that I have seen. Anyway, Marge will be leaving soon so Gracie and I stayed for a few minutes to chat.

Mr H and Gracie went to the Mall and I thought it would be just too buy on a Saturday for me to join them. Anyway, Mis Zoe stays home. While she was out I thought I would help her to grid her linen...

We are using Easy Count Guideline. It can be a little tricky as it is nylon and slips out of the needle sometimes. It is better than thread as it leaves no lint behind on the fabric. I have a few more days in the guest room. Alan is not a snowbird, just and New Englander. I guess they are important people, Marge and Alan as they have titles. Mis Zoe is awake now... so I will say adios... that is Spanish of goodbye.... for now.

Gracie  and I say welcome to a few new followers and wish you all have a great day. Back to stitching more grid lines....

NOTE: Another great giveaway at Victorian Motto ...click here ... mention I sent you and you give me another chance!

A Yellow rose and a word from the Madame

What a lovely rose in our garden this morning. My favorite is the yellow and this has a beautiful scent. I have been busy getting ready the next project..Iris. I will be stitching on 28 ct white from my linen stash and It will be 2 over 1.  Right now I am stitching the grid... very time consuming, but for this especially, I think most needed. I am off to work again today. I am pleased that you took time to visit and hope your day is wonderful... and now....

A word or two from the Madame....

I had a very restful day yesterday.... and had a busy morning so far.

I baked some cranberry orange scones for Mr H. I found the box mix in the cupboard and I must say they were easy and the kitchen smells so good. Gracie cleaned the bowl and pan.

Then it was off to the sewing room, which is my room for the time being. I carefully edge stitched the linenfor Gracie to begin the Iris project.

It did not take too long. I understand that next week I will be moving into the master bedroom for a week while someone named Alan visits. I have been assured that I will be very comfortable and safe from Zoe who also shares that room. Not that Zoe would hurt me, but I will have my own sleeping compartment. Whoever this Alan person is, Gracie is sure happy about his coming. I hope there will still be time for me while he is here. I heard them takling about going to the pool, and the museum and a Wickenburg place... I dod want to see what they are all about. I see that Gracie is getting her things together to go to work....I will be relaxing in the living room with Mr H and Zoe for a movie.

Picking tomatoes

Hello friends. I went to Jo Ann's to work with Gracie yesterday. It is a short ride from home... maybe 4 miles. we did not buy anything but I met a friend, Dianna Lynn.

Zoe has been very friendly. We sat and watched a movie after work. She likes the treats I brought with me for her. Mr H said he will let her have only half at a time because she does have to watch her weight. Today is a very windy day outside. The temps yesterday was 92 and today it should be a bit cooler at around 84.

I am glad we picked tomatoes yesterday as I think I would have trouble in this wind. They are cherry size and very good.
Well, I must run. I hear Mr H saying it's time to go. I do not know where, but I certainly do not want to get left home.
Have a great day.

A ride from a stranger in a Porsche and Madame Muriel

A busy day yesterday....a doctor visit and then a stop for lunch a one of my favorite places...Cousin's in Phoenix. We do not get to this place often now, only when we are on the East side of the Valley. We have become a bit friendly with the owner and she laughed at my taking  pictures of Madame Muriel. Then I explained ....I think she thinks I am nuts. However, then we began chatting and there was a black Porsche Panorama next to our car. I asked if it was hers...no but it was the young man who was sitting with her. Mr H chatted with him about the car, then... this doctor said it was a gift to himself for turning 40. Then...then he offered to let Mr H drive it! A complete stranger! What to do?

You guessed it... Mr H took the keys and we three got in...me in the back seat and after a lesson to start this machine...Mr H got his ride!

Very nice indeed. He just happens to be friends with the sandwich shop owner and said a friend of hers is a friend of his.

On a stitch note...I know it does not look like much, but because it is for a December exchange I really can't show you more.... just know that I am keeping busy.

Now a word from Madame Muriel:

I must say that the temp went quickly from the 80's to 90's by the time my nap was over. Mr H had the air conditioner on so it was comfortable inside. I explored the back yard.....

What the ......!Little Miss Muffet Muriel sat on on an OUCH! Is this an Arizona tuffet?! I found out it is not for sitting on. It is a Golden Barrel Cactus!

Now this is more like it

Mr H took me in hand and off we went for a ride. Something about a doctor appointment.... for a minute I thought it was to check me out! But no, I am feeling fine after my flight and the trip through customs.

We stopped for lunch...Root beer soda and something called an Italian Special. 

The rest of the day was restful and quiet. Today there is work and tomatoes to pick......

Well, as you can see, we have been busy and had a few adventures.... hope you had a good day yesterday and a great one today....



Madame Murial has arrived!

I have arrived in sunny Arizona. It is a warm morning here already the temp is 81 and it is only 11 am.

My last hostess, Jo, sent me with some lovely goodies. She sent a travel book, a nice leather bookmark, a pretty piece of fabric, a very nice charm and a pen that writes so nice. English Breakfast tea which Mr H loves and is eager to taste this kind. Jo made a pretty needle book that gracie says she has wanted to stitch and now has one.

We did not forget Miss Zoe....  Mr H says she can have one later. She just finished eating. I think I will like her. She is very quiet..... has a smushed in face, but cute.

I got a kiss! But then she moved away and asked Mr H to put her up on her chair. Her legs are short and I must say she is quite plump and jumping is not one of her abilites. She is napping so I think after my journey I will too.  Gracie tells me Mr H has a doctor appointment this afternoon and if I want to go along, I should rest for now. Off to the daybed in the guest room.

Well, how wonderful that the Madame has finally arrived. Thank you Jo for the goodies....

I did manage to finish the stitching on my BBD Roses

I am so undecided as how I want to finish this...pillow or frame.... I will think on it.

Jo's Easter Hunt  was fun and we all got to meet some new friends. Welcome to my new followers. We have found that Mrs Gamble Quail and her mate are making a nest on our front porch just behind the glider. Mr H says there are a dozen eggs there. This is going to be difficult...I guess I won't be sitting on the glider for awhile.  The day is starting off warm as Madame Muriel told you. Yesterday we did reach 90. The summer is soon to arrive.  I am off to get a few things organized while Zoe and the Madame are resting.....I hope you will return to follow Madame Muriel's adventures. Have a wonderful day.

Did you hear???

How exciting....Zoe will be hosting....with my help of course the famous~~~~ Madame Muriel.
We are not sure of her arrival date but we are making plans. I have informed Mr H....still awaiting a response, but you know men.....I will update as soon as I know she has booked her flight.
I have been gathering some extras to send along with the Travelling Pattern
~~Tending The Blooms

 You still have time to sign up for the chance to stitch this quick and delightful pattern. I will draw on Sunday March 25th. I will putting the final touches on mine later today and will post tomorrow.

 I did manage to stitch a little on my BBD.... I have not posted because, well, there is little enough on it and I thought I would get it further along...but no. Instead I just remained lazy yesterday. Mr H and I watched some Netflix.... we enjoy watching the British mysteries. Today there is a morning doctor's appointment for Mr H then my day is free. I started to go through my Blog address book so I can plan a few mailings....so you may get a request from me for snail posting.... or you could just send me an email if you are inclined to!
Welcome to a few new friends who have been stopping by. As always thank you for your emails and kind comments. I love finding your blogs. Have a wonderful day in whatever you do.
