I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

Awhile ago, the wonderful and talented Monique tagged me to tell seven facts about myself. So here goes! I did this awhile back in May, too, so you can take a look at those.
1. I hate onions - I’ll eat them if they’ve been diced up teeny-tiny, and I don’t mind onion […]

Cheryl and Sharon recently (ok, not THAT recently) gave me the You Make Me Smile aware. Awww, thanks so much!

The rules are that you have to give it to 10 people who make you smile…
so
1 & 2 are right back atcha, Cheryl and Sharon! Is that allowed? I’m not sure, but, […]

Here’s what I’ve been stitching on mostly.

This is Just Nan’s Ghoulies and Ghosties. This is actually the first JN chart I’m stitching for myself I’ve been having a lot of fun with this - it’s DMC on 28ct linen, so it’s not something I have to concentrate too much on. […]

Another SBQ:
How did you get started stitching? Was there a person that inspired you?
My mother knitted, and my mom and grandma both did quilting and basketweaving, but neither were into cross stitching. I did do some plastic canvas when I was very young, which they both encouraged, and I always liked doing crafty […]

Here’s the boxes at the apt…

…and here they are in the new house.

Here’s more pictures of what the new house looked like on October 1st. Honestly, we’ve done a ton since then, but gosh, it’s hard to take time to stitch when all those boxes are begging to be unpacked. Even so, […]

I’m trying to catch up with some SBQs:
Have you ever thought of getting a rider on your household insurance to properly cover your stash (some of us have quite an extensive stash that an average household policy wouldn’t fully cover) in the case of some sort of damage to your house that would destroy/ruin […]

I finally found one of the camera cables, so here is Skeleton Crew!

I’m so happy it’s finished! I loved stitching on it, but the glow-in-the-dark floss was a real pain to work with. But it looks absolutely AMAZING in the dark. I tried to take a picture of it, but that […]

Yup, we’re moved in!
Well, after all the stress and worry and anxiety, closing on Thursday went quite smoothly. We were in and out in under an hour! Friday we got a ton of new furniture delivered, and had tons of other things set up at the house. On Saturday, all our […]
