Just to say that Maise had a great 2 hours at school today . 👏👏👏

Our neighbor's dog went crazy last night and then a neighbor a few houses down sent this picture. Hard to imagine it is actually a bear. What do you all think?

Now my dilemma…I was going to hang it over the cupboard where my baskets are…but I put shelves there….hmmmmm

That was the sound when a car hit Babe a half an hour ago. Nothing dramatic and I’m fine. Babe has a cracked fender and a hole there. Two young guys came around the corner and didn’t see us coming out of the parking lot at Veri Center. I’m okay but must admit that my thinking is a bit out of whack.

I know it’s too soon to know much…the numbers will most likely change…but my heart hurts for the families who are the victims of yet another mass shooting….

Something to sleep on.

Hi there- I was looking to purchase the sunset serenity pattern but it is very unclear about the thread and aida- it says how much is needed but doesn't say whether it will be included in the purchase or not. If you could let me know that would be great- thanks :) Faith S

Hello, I was wondering if someone might be able to post the colour code/ symbols associated to each colour for Power in the Mist designed by Dyan Allaire. I purchased the pattern some time ago and never finished my project. I have lost my colour code and was hoping someone may have a copy or be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you very much.

Took this off the hoop this morning before moving on to the next page. I get to do their faces so that will bring this pattern to life. I'm only working on it for 6 more days and then switching to the other HAED Gypsy Firefly.

Good morning everyone. I had trouble sleeping last night. DH and I haven't watched or listened to the news for almost 2 months now and I found we were calmer and less stressed. Last night while flipping through the channels there was the story of another school shooting in Texas, the second worst one since the Sandy Hook tragedy. We had a long discussion about the whys and what could be done to change these events. I was reminded of a discussion I had with an Ute elder when I was teaching in Southern Colorado back in 2012 when the Sandy Hook incident took place. He said to me, "Susan, there is a deep, dark sickness affecting our young people. It's even here in this little part of the world. All we can do is pray for their souls to remove this sickness." He was deeply concerned and saddened by what he felt in the collective consciousness of our young people. There are no easy answers to what has gone horribly wrong in current American society. What can we do as individuals to make that society a better place? Those are my thoughts this Wednesday morning at 3:10 a.m.

I will be finished with my "Bird" project soon. I am tired of spending over $100 for framing. The finished piece is 7.5 in. by 7.5 in. (a square) No way could I find a frame that size. What else could I do ? I do remember years ago that pieces wood frames were available and you just clicked them together to make a frame. I do not know what they are called and where to find them. Any suggestions ?

A good DMC or Anchor Halloween orange?? Any suggestions?!
