Keep breaking around me. First the car, then the water spigots for the washing machine, and today my cell phone. It is 8 years old. The screen went black while I was using it. It refused to recharge. I tried cleaning out the plug in site, 3 different charge cords, and 3 different wall sockets. I went to the cell phone provider store. He couldn’t charge it with the electrical cord or wirelessly. It’s gone and since it won’t turn on again, there is no way to transfer contacts or photos to eventual new phone. I went to the store alone just to get some information and to confirm my phone really was dead. I don’t pay extra for on line storage of photos. Some of them were transferred to our laptop but not all. There were a lot of grandchildren pictures sent by text message. I literally sat in the car and cried realizing how many photos I have lost. All these broken things that need replacing come with a price tag, and I’m just so exasperated with it all. I miss cameras with film and landline telephones. Back when times were simpler. Technology really irks me sometimes. But if there was no internet, I wouldn’t be able to reach out to all of you. It’s been a rough day for me. Thank you for listening, friends.

July has 31 days...

And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. Hebrews 11:11-12 NIV

Good Tuesday morning this first day of July everyone. Happy Canada Day to our Canadian friends. Today will be a short shopping day and stitching on my new project, "Meanie Weenies", by one of my favorites - Plum Street Samplers. Happy July everyone!

Hello everyone! It's time to turn our calendars to July and to share what we've been working on, or have finished, during the past few weeks. So many of us look forward to seeing everyone's work and varied projects and themes! Share a photo and brief description (name of design + designer or publisher) of your recent WIPs. If you prefer not to share a photo or have difficulty with it, just tell us in words! Take best care!

Today is Tuesday ……………………………….…………….. Good Morning, MJ 💕

Last year I bought white fabric with silver sparkles in it! To make Christmas cards. Also other Christmas colours ! Where do I find these on your order form ?

Hi! I was wondering if the free pattern of the month was removed or moved somewhere else on the site? I cannot find it for some reason.

I went through the supply list and marked the thread I needed and the cloth then I hit the save button but where did it go??

Today is Monday ……………………………………………… Good Morning, MJ 💕

Happy Canada Day everyone!! Have fun!!

Happy Monday morning everyone! There's something about the start of a new week that makes me think of all the possibilities a new week brings. Yes, I'm an optimist. I can't believe I spent the entire month stitching on just one project and I'm at the halfway point. I had days I didn't stitch at all. Today is a rest day after all the garage cleaning and more clearing of our space. I love to lighten the load. It's stuffed pepper night tonight and inside chores. Have a great week!
