Good morning everyone! Lily is doing much better and she is resting quietly. Thanks again everyone for your kind words and support. Today I will catch up on household chores and do some more stitching on "Gypsy Firefly". I am liking how that project is coming along. I made fridge magnets out of two of the stitchin' stuff boxes 4th of July box and framed the Uncle Sam. We are ready for the 4th of July, which we'll spend quietly at home. We watch the fireworks from our backyard that comes from the baseball stadium for the South Bend Cubs and enjoy the show. Happy stitching everyone!

Hello Monday morning and it's off to a rough start. My dog Lily has been ailing for three days now and we've determined she has hurt her back. This is an issue with Doxies and it looks like it will be a trip to the vet. She's 11 years old and having a rough time. So, I'm sitting here drinking my coffee and trying very hard to stay positive because dogs can pick up on their humans. We'll see what the day and the week brings.

Got this today… I wonder what I ordered….

Today is…………….

I have some vintage Curtis Boehringer patterns. They call for a DMC Flower Tread. The numbers range from 2304 to 2986. There are number names if colors listed either. I am hoping you can help me locate some threads or refer me to another company. Thank you.

I have the pattern for the Sandhills Cranes from Crossed Wings. It is 304 stitches wide (21.7”). I have an easel for “tall” projects but am looking for suggestions on how to stitch this “wide” project. I am concerned a hoop or frame would wrinkle the fabric too badly over time.

What does the back of the bib look like?

I finally framed this Mirabilia that I finished a few months ago. I had a problem finding a frame that fit it - 20x34. I found a custom made one in Hobby Lobby that somebody didn't buy, originally priced at $172.50 and I got it for $17.50!! It was an ugly color (to me), reminded me of snake skin and I think we all know by now how I feel about that, so I took it to a frame shop and had them cut it down and then painted it with light pink craft paint. I don't have glass over it right now because of the ribbon. It has a lot of beads and I've framed beaded projects before ( L&L angels), using spacers, but the ribbon on this one is actually "thicker" than the beads, but I do want to put glass over it to protect it. I'll have to figure out how to elevate the glass more than regular spacers allow. Anyway, it's framed for now, thank goodness.

I want to send a Christmas card to anyone who wants one! Anywhere in the world. Email:pamelastine11@yahoo.com I will not give out anyone's address. This is for my eyes only.

Hi there everyone! We are about a month away for the July 2022 release of our ECS Stitchin' Stuff Box and I am really excited for this one! Here is your sneak peek into the theme of our next box...as always, I won't be commenting if anyones' guesses are right or wrong. I just like seeing what you guys come up with 🙂 Stay tuned next month for more information on this box! ~Kristi @ ECS

If you have ridges in your nails, here is the best product I’ve found to hide them. The ridges can be caused by many things…in my case meds.

Who steals a car on an island? Especially one that’s 3.5 miles wide x 14 miles long…and 30 miles from the mainland…

Hey y'all!! It's a hot Thursday afternoon, and it's dragging for me....so I thought it might be fun to start a little game, if you will. Where are you stitching from?!?! If you don't want to say the city, just the state, or country. I'd just like to get to know everyone a little better 😊 So I live in Petaluma, CA....I'm about 45mins north of San Francisco. I've lived in the bay area now for about 23 years. GO!!!!

Today is…………
