Today is Friday ………………………….………………………. Good Morning, MJ 💕

Good Friday morning everyone. What a week and I'm glad it's almost over. You would think I worked at a job all week so much was going on. The sky is clear, but cool, so today we decided to just go for a long drive and air out our souls. I'll do a little stitching this morning and then off we'll go. The leaves are changing into their colors and it will be a nice drive. Have a fabulous Friday!

Hello cool, rainy Wednesday morning everyone. It will be an inside day for sure. Have you ever spent a day when you did absolutely nothing? And I mean NOTHING. We watched movies yesterday and lolled around the cottage with the pups. It was rain, wind, and cold and no one felt like doing a thing. On a side note if you can, donate to your local food pantry as 43 million Americans are about to lose their SNAP benefits. Have a wild Wednesday.

Big rain and wind storm come through called storm Benjamin. It up rooted the Fungi. I’ve left it where it is to see what happens. I already knew that it was very poisonous. But people have contacted me about not touching it.

Today is Thursday ……………………….…………………… Good Morning, MJ 💕

How much will you give for a pattern? Does it depend on the pattern? I have decided $15.00 is my drop dead limit. I don't care how beautiful it is.

I'm going to try out my new eyes this weekend with Alone With God, my labor of love bead stitching project. You're looking at approximately 6,500 seed beads. All told, there will be 7,500-8,000. I'm so close to being done! Framing it is making me fret though. I know I will have to pin every 1.5 mm, and I will also have to lace it, because this is one heavy piece! Do I lace then pin? Pin then lace? Pin some, lace, and then pin some more? I need a game plan. I already have the frame, a gray 2.5" wide barnwood one, that will look awesome on the light daffodil fabric. Suggestions?

Question. Do you trust vehicles that drive themselves? I am not comfortable with the concept. I've read about glitches concerning train crossroads and accidents. However, maybe I'm old fashioned? Pam

Stitching friends, I have to show you *the* coolest clock. I even customized it to have Sewn Blessings on it. I bought it on Zazzle from the shop FromTheRookery. It's now on my gallery wall among ornaments and a couple table runners. It's actually an encouraging clock. When I don't have the energy to do much, I put in one "stitch." It's amazing how much I can accomplish just one stitch at a time.

Good Thursday and another cool, rainy morning everyone. It's another inside day and I felt sad when we put our bench away yesterday. Tonight is leftover chili so no cooking and stitching. Have a good Thursday!

Hey, Pam, I made this for lunch today and it’s delicious 😋😋😋 Maybe it was last week or the week before that you posted it. The recipe makes a lot. I put the rest in the freezer for another meal for us. I used mashed potatoes this time and will try wide egg noodles the next time.
