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

Good I'm positive its Monday morning everyone. One large mug of coffee in hand and I'm ready to take on the new week. We're hoping it's not as busy as it was last week. We're having a cold snap and spring has sprung backwards once again. Today is stir fry night and we have the pork marinating. I know we'll be freezing some of it. It's a light chore day and more stitching on "Queen". I chose cranberry from CCW for the middle queen and its the only time I will use that color. Wishing everyone an excellent week ahead.

While at my parents house and doing shopping for our 25 wedding anniversary....my sis and her kids decided we should put the veggies and plants in front and back gardens ☺️. It was doing great dad on side of garage fiddling with the wheel barrel and us getting soil out of back bed of nephews pick up...mom was supervising from her walker seat. She had knee surgery couple yrs back and it was feeling irritated.... Well things took a spin ..their 4 dogs 2sm 2 med got out and sat next to her ( like they usually do).. apparently 1 caught with the leash ( they all had leases on) the bottom of her walker and down she went...of course we were 3 feet away with our backs turned to her... She fell on her left side and yep crushed her humerus at her left shoulder...I guess when you break it in more the 3 spots it's crushed...🥹. We tried to lift her with dad supervising ( he tried and succeeded in keeping her in great spirits) we just couldn't go near her arm ..we ended up call ambulance non emergency they came and ended up having to giving her pain injection because she was in so much pain ...she went to hospital, it's not something they'll do surgery on for about a week...🥴 She's home on Motrin and Tylenol....and in a sling...my sister still has her left arm in a cast....😆, from Thanksgiving. Please pray for my mom's speedy safe recovery and my sanity, on Wednesday we have her sister's memorial. TFL-Chris

You state that, there are 6 fabric sizes, but only 3 sizes are available. What gives?

Good Sunday morning everyone. Finally got our plants yesterday and today the wind has died down and can plant. Its hostas, English thyme, zucchini, impatiens, and geraniums. I actually found red and white geraniums. I stitched the first queen on "The Queen of Hearts" and love her. Looking for a peaceful day today and wishing you all a happy Sunday.

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

I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock my fortress and my deliverer, my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:1-2 Prayer: Lord may my heart be gentle and kind and show compassion to others. Fill me with praise as I remember Your goodness and all the ways You have helped me.

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

(Not a great picture but you can kind of make out the type of frame by the connection in the corner) I have 2 scroll frames, one handed down from my mom, one I found at a second hand store, both have the type of rids thst are split down the center to keep the fabric in place. I have 2 issues, one is that the rods won't stay tight against the middle of the fabric, making it slack while the edges are taut. The other is that the wingnuts used to tighten the rods dig into my skin when I rest it against myself. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to fix these issues. Will the wooden knobs help or will they be too big? The wingnuts are on the back of the frame. I don't want to use any plastic products if possible. While I'm here I may as well also ask; does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my arms, wrists, and fingers from getting tired and hurting? Unfortunately I'm only 26 and disabled. This craft has given me something that makes me feel accomplished, but I find my arms, wrists, and fingers getting painful after a bit. Does anyone have any tips for me on how to prevent this? I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to put this, I'm brand new to this site!
