Good Wednesday morning everyone! It's still cold in the morning, but the afternoons are getting a lot warmer. Today is DH's eye appointment and after that no errands. Two more days of outside errands and I'll be glad when the week is over, but might as well do these "chores" while the weather is ugly. It sure is a slow, slow spring this year. It's enchilada night tonight. I haven't made those in awhile and I have all the ingredients. Have a lovely day everyone whatever you choose to do!

I am currently working on a Hardanger doily that also has some cross stitch in the border. I am using a design in a DMC publication. I also discovered that the Victoria Sampler website is not accessible any longer, neither is Nordic Needle. I went through my stash of books and leaflets on Hardanger and counted 36. I also ordered some pdf hardanger Christmas ornaments. They will be welcome after doing cross stitch almost exclusively. I have some Hardanger hearts that have cross stitch that were designed by Emie Bishop. I found some 32 count linen to do them on.

I am subscribed to a FB page called Cross Stitch Addicts and they posted a picture of the empty cross-stitching shelves at HL! She said it was a clearance sale. Someone else said that an employee at the HL she goes to says the store is moving toward more home goods and decorative items and less crafty items! Another dream of a local store that sells cross stitch items --- dashed! So sad! I would love to open my own little store in Lancaster Cty or maybe even local where I live now. Pipe dream, I know especially with brick and mortar stores becoming a thing of the past, probably not a very lucrative idea!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today is new tires for the Jeep and out for breakfast at Angelo's. I am craving a spinach and feta cheese omelet with some rye toast. Angelo's is right next door to the tire place. Later, a lovely gentleman from Michigan is coming to buy the utility trailer we used to haul our boat on. He's a small farmer and wants it to haul small equipment around on his farm. Michiganders are some of the friendliest people. I am pleased to have finished another section on Gypsies Again even with all the shades of brown. The couple on the horse are completely stitched now. I loved watching that part of the pattern evolve. I ordered some 28 ct. Lugana from Julie's Cross Stitch in a lovely buttercream color that will be perfect for "Deputy Doxie" - a Silver Creek pattern. (Thanks Pebs for telling me about that one you enabler, you! LOL) That's it for today. Have a great day everyone.

There was recently a lot of discussion in the chat room about heritage, so I thought I'd share this photo of my two cousins taken a few years ago at a Highlands Game. They take their heritage very seriously.

How to find out if my order was received. Have not gotten confirmation

Kristi, are the patterns by CM Designs- Bumblebee Bouquet, and Butterfly Weed pon sale for the bee and butterfly designs?

Can you give me the info for his piece, please Kristi! Thanks in advance!

What fabric and floss is used for this pattern? Thanks in advance.

I needed this little reminder this morning. It was the first meme on my FB page.

I’ve been thinking about your medication predicament because I too get mine delivered from an on line chemist. If you can’t pick them up from a regular chemist would it be possible to have a word about your problem with the postage person who I think you said has been hired to keep an eye on the packages that are delivered to your building. Perhaps this person could move the med package to a place you both agree upon. This is probably full of holes but maybe something you could build on. Good luck.
