A Wayfair Mess - And A Matter of Ethics
OK, so this will be long, no way around it. I ordered a blue lift chair from Wayfair during their big sale last week and paid for it. I decided it was just time to admit I need one, especially since I fell back in December. I got an email later saying the blue was out of stock, did I want to change my order to a different color? I called and talked with a very nice young man in Customer Service and told him to cancel the order because I didn't want dark gray or dark brown. No problem, my money was refunded within 24 hrs. Then I get an email saying my chair had been shipped?? But when I would look up the invoice, it still said cancelled, zero owing. So, I thought it was an automated email that probably went out from the supplier before they got the cancellation. I've checked every day and it continued to say order shipped in the subject line, but didn't indicate it was shipped when I'd track the package. Following all this? Then today, I heard a noise on my porch and before I could get to the door (they didn't ring the bell), the delivery person was gone and there sat a big box from Wayfair. So, I managed to wriggle it inside and the tape was almost off of it, so I opened it and sure enough - BLUE chair, at least half of one. THEN, I get another email from Wayfair saying one of two boxes has been delivered, the other is on it's way. Went back to Wayfair website, checked my account, nope - order still cancelled, zero owing!! I've decided to wait until Monday to see if I do indeed get the second box (and what color it is), before I call Wayfair again. But here's the conumdrum: If I reinstate the order/order again so that I pay for it, will another chair be shipped to me, OR How can I return something that they don't have an order for? They have to issue a return label and they don't have an invoice to do that. Every invoice shows it has been cancelled and my money refunded. Maybe they can change the original order back and show it paid?? Guess I'll keep a close eye on my checking account too to see if they decide to "reinstate" the order, but I doubt it. I guess a dishonest person could just keep quiet, keep the chair for free and hope they don't catch on. But I'm a firm believer in Karma, and I can just see the thing dumping me out at warp speed if I did that. I've never had such a mess with Wayfair before, they've always been easy to deal with and were this time - until they shipped the chair they said they didn't have and that I didn't pay for.
Half painted and parts just to be stitched?
Morning all …. Question - what do you call the cross stitch patterns that are painted on and then you can stitch the rest. Some parts are printed and then some items you fill in with stitching?

Mother's Day
Hello fellow stitchy mommas!! Just wondering what everyone is doing for Mother's Day this year?!!? I am meeting my Mom at an outlet mall tomorrow for some retail therapy and lunch!! This year I won't see either of my girls, unfortunately. But I know they love me!! What about you?!?!
Phew…what a day…
Cooked chicken, made soup, and had enough left to make pulled chicken for sandwiches, and made egg salad…only cut myself once…paid bills, ordered checks…done and cleaned up by noon…
Had a visit from the neighbors, and their puppy…Teddy…Teddy is a kissing bandit….I got my entire face washed…multiple times…
It turned into such a beautiful day, I weed whipped around the front yard…like I said phew! I’m thinking it’s a shower and some stitching time…
Backyard Visitors
The local gang of turkeys decided to make a visit to our backyard yesterday and put on a show. There were about nine of them in the group. At least we could see that many, there might have been more in the trees that we could not see. I took these photos through our patio door so as not to disturb them. Now if only we could get the local deer to all come together instead of only 2 or 3 at a time, that would be really great!! We have somebody stop by almost every afternoon.
Not Cross Stitching
Hi What type of cameras are you using to take the picture outside?
Tea Anyone?
Just finished "Tea Time" and have it hanging by our coffee pot and where I keep our teas. The rainbow effect around the frame was from the flash and purely accidental!
Hi!
Hi! I was just looking around and found your site. Very nice of you to give a free pattern monthly. My partner, the bird-lover, will get a kick out of this. He is always telling me that he feeds more squirrels than he does birds.
Thanks, again!

Aurora Borealis Tonight
I heard on the news that the Northern Lights could be visible as far south as Alabama tonight due to severe "geomagnetic storms", aka solar flares. I've always wanted to see them, but I doubt they'll be visible this far south. The bad news according to what I read is that this is rated G4 on a scale of possible G5 which means it could interfere with some things such as internet service among others. This strange year continues.
Jolly St Nick Stocking
Is this stocking counted cross stitch or stamped cross-stitch?
GOOD MORNING - What's on your mind FRIDAY
Happy Friday everyone. The week just got away from me. It's cool and rainy here, but Mother's Day it's supposed to get a lot nicer. ECS shipped my order I placed yesterday and it's on the way. Thank you ECS. I'm excited to start the Betsy Ross sampler for the 4th of July. "Tea Time" should be finished today and just in time for the new project. In honor of my mother, I'll keep a photo of her through Sunday. Sure miss her. She was the best and one of the most open-minded, caring people a daughter could have. Have a wonderful Friday.
