9 customers and 21 sales personnel were stranded in an IKEA last night just about 50 kilometres from me, because of the weather They were fed, watched a football game and put to bed with lovely new sheets and duvets. They couldn’t have chosen a better place if it had to happen.

Today is ………………..

Hello, and Happy December to everyone! it's the beginning of a new month and time to share what we've been working on or have completed since last month's Show and Tell. If you like, share a photo of your current WIP (or WIPs!) -- as always, if you prefer not to share photos or have difficulty with attaching them, feel free to tell us in words. I like to say this each month to encourage everyone to share, whether they're cautious about photos or not tech-savvy! Take care!

In this chart shading is made by using one strand or two strands of the same colour.

Sad news I lost my daddy last night. 80 years of life and he went peacefully. Hard time for me. Through the tears I've almost completed page 9 of unicorn 🦄 cross stitch.

If you want this for Christmas…

Okay, I give Mabel a Denta stick, every night. She loves them but for some reason after I give it to her she runs through the house, and gets in her bed before she eats it. Last night she was tired, and I had to wake her up to go outside before I went to bed. I bribed her with the Denta stick, to get her to go outside. I gave it to her, told her to go pee…she did, then ran right back to the door. When I let her in, she still had the Denta stick in her mouth, she ran full speed through the house, got in bed…then she ate it…

Hi thoughts and prayers appreciated for families of 9 people..there was a 15 yr old who entered his highschool and shot off numerous rounds 3 students were killed 6 injured, he gave up right away...I pray for him too, his mental health before and after this...there were whispers about something happening, some students didn't come to school because of the whispers ...thank you 🌹🌈💖🤗Stay safe and warm and happy stitching.,☺️ TFL-Chris

My daughter, who is a middle aged working adult, would like to learn to cross stitch as an evening activity to do when she sits with her husband who likes to watch sports. they have no children. She works in educational administration, so this would be a total change of pace, and hopefully relaxing handwork. She does like math! She loves sunflowers, too. How difficult would this be for a first project? I'm thinking of getting it for her for Christmas.

Just watched a version of this movie with Margaret O'Brien and Liz Taylor -- and I wondered if there is a cross stitch pattern of the March family? I looked and found one available on ECS by Twin Peaks...I have to have that pattern!! Anyway -- which one of the sisters do you think you're most like? I thought about this and I'm a combination of Meg and Beth. I love all of them, though
