Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34 NIV

Good Thursday morning everyone. First the good news, Poppy is up walking, slowly but surely. The vet said she has a pulled muscle and no nerve or disc damage. We are still carrying her up and down stairs and she's still doing a lot of rest. Next the sad news, I found out that our Hayjax (the other Chris) passed away this past June. I really loved her humor, which she kept, in spite of her many health issues. I enjoyed her stories about Blue and she was a wealth of cross stitch information. She was open-minded and navigated political differences with much grace and kept an open mind about others with different opinions. I still have the recipe she e-mailed me for pineapple/zucchini bread. It's hard to believe, but you really do form relationships on here with people you have never met, yet you feel they are an important part of your life. Have a thoughtful Thursday everyone.

😀😀😀😀😀

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

how do I put an item from my cart into my wish list? Thanks

Good morning Everyone, I have been doing site maintenance on all our sites this past weekend. I tried to do these when I felt the sites might be a little slower. I believe the required maintenance issues are now complete. If you saw some issues over the weekend, that was probably me. I believe everything is all tidy now. Could you all do me a favor? As with any maintenance roll-out, some issues may arrive. With the combinations of everything involved with different operating systems and browsers, it is next to impossible to catch everything. So, if you have any problems, or see anything on our site that may look strange, I would greatly appreciate it if you would let us know as soon as you can. Just trying to make sure if any of you have an issue that I know about it and can resolve it for you. Thank you! Troy (Your friendly I.T. guy)

See if it works ….I had to “add photo” twice. The first time no image came up, second time photo came up with error message…I tapped the screen, error message went away.. see if it will post…. (Edited) it worked…

I have to sign in every time to post. Each thread has to be checked individually for activity (no notification of new activity) and I have to reset how many posts shown at one time. It resets to ten each time instead of fifty. I use my Fire HD10 instead of my PC. Thank you. Pam

Sporting her new harness… she highly recommends it

Do I need the metallic braids? Where are they used on the pattern?

Hello everyone! I dozed off early this evening and woke up to realize that I hadn't created the new month's show and tell post! Post a photo a brief description of what you've worked on, or what you've finished, in recent weeks. As always just tell us in words if you prefer not to, or have difficulty, posting a photo!

Good Wednesday morning everyone. We had a bad night with Poppy, who kept waking up panting because she was in pain, so today it's a trip to the vet to give her something for pain. She's having a hard time standing up. Buddy hasn't left her side. Still can't post pictures and I need to figure out what's with my phone. In spite of all that, I will keep my spirits up. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

I am weaning Sewn Blessings Fabric & Gifts, LLC off Etsy and having an independent website built! The transition will take 1-2 years to migrate my customer base from Etsy to the store. The best privilege of having an independent online store is I will have fabric reps help me curate my collection. Many won’t work with marketplace owners. I get to see the 2026 Thanksgiving/Christmas prints starting September 25 and have first pick of the inventory, a good three months before the public and Etsy owners can place their pre-orders. The grand opening is September 20, four months after the eye surgery and the day my good results are considered permanent. I can’t contain my excitement!

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