I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

This week’s SBQ:
How many needles do you use during a project? Have you ever loaded up a needle for every color? Do you use a new needle for every project or recycle your favorite needle?

…but OMIGOSH I’m so excited I have to share with everyone!
Today was the pre-construction meeting for our new house! The permits are finally in from the town, and hopefully they’ll start digging the footings for the foundation tomorrow. In about 45 days we should have the pre-drywall meeting, and about 60 days […]

Oh my, I didn’t really have a busy weekend, but it feels like I did! I think I have some kind of bug - I’ve been absolutely exhausted and just not feeling well at all since Thursday. Luckily, I felt much better today, so I didn’t miss any of the Memorial Day […]

Tell eight things about yourself that others might not already know.
Here’s how to play:
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves

Does anyone else remember that book from when they were little?
Things are still quite broken with the blog / gallery. I’ve been focusing mostly on getting the gallery un-wonky when I have a few extra minutes at work, as I’ve been stitching a lot at home. Currently I’m […]

Name Game
Congratulations! You and your S.O. are pregnant with septuplets! (Those of you in same-sex relationships, think “weird science” What to name them?

I’m back from my week-long trip to PA, and back to blogging! If you haven’t noticed, I’ve changed my blog hosting - I was having a terrible time, so I finally sucked it up and moved to a new host the Friday before we left. Some things are still very broken - […]
