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

News! Today is exactly two weeks since my fall at home! Finally got to see the ortho specialist today. Apparently, they calf muscle filled with blood and they wished I could have been to them earlier (they have had to triple book all appointments for some months). The doctor put a huge syringe into my call and tried to pull out the huge blood there, but it has already clotted and he got out about one cup. He does not think they can pull out more. Ugh. So, I have to call him if I get a fever because it might get infected. There is another 3 cups still there, so keep prayers coming for my leg and me! I see him again in 2 weeks, scared to death. I never ever imagined this could happen from a fall. Hey, at least it isn't my hands. Still stitching some small things, pain level awful. Thanks guys for prayers.

Good Friday morning everyone. The week has gone quickly and today is a stay at home day and some meat loaf tonight for some comfort food. I have those mini loaf pans and I make two of them and we eat half one night and the other half another night from our personal loaf pan. Not much else going on today and that's the beauty of retirement. Have a fruitful Friday.

👍👍👍👍👍

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

I can see well enough to make more table runners! Here are my first two halves. I only needed the seam ripper once to correct mismatched stripes. Apparently, a few customers have been waiting a year and a half for me to be able to sew again. I have several orders already. I can't praise the Lord enough. I have the best vision I've ever had in my entire life. My surgeon is picking out, or rather his wife is picking out fabric for my thank you gift. Without him, there would be no more table runners.

I'm looking for more frames like this, but the bigger ones. 3.75 inches. JanLynn's website says ordering is closed because of covid....apparently they haven't updated it for a while!! I've searched everywhere and have found a few mini ones (2.5 inches). But not the bigger ones. Has anyone seen these anywhere??

Good rainy Thursday morning everyone. Love the rain for our garden. One of the new hostas we planted has flowers on it. Today we decided to treat ourselves and go out to lunch. Finished page 1 of the "Rock and Roll" sampler, and am liking the effect of the specialty floss using one strand. Happy Friday eve!

Is there a book of patterns for the cricket cross stitch monthly patterns? I don't need the kits. thanks

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Didn't sleep very well last night and think it was the change in weather or maybe it was the planetary line up. Who knows? I just go with the flow. Not much on the agenda today. I've been spending a lot of time outdoors and only on computer in the morning with the weather being so nice. We wait so long here. So, don't feel like I am ignoring anyone if I don't log back in. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

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

22ct black fabric 40 inch x 10 inch (lugana, aida, linen, evenweave, ANY) I've searched and searched and I can't find it. I don't think it exists. I realize linen and lugana ARE evenweave and that evenweave would translate 44ct. I am firm on 22ct because that's the smallest size for a large piece I'm doing. And I wouldn't want to try to dye it myself because I'm too afraid it'll bleed into the thread as time goes by.
