Welcome to ChitChat!

Snow pic…this morning..and the girls, waiting for breakfast…

Due to our county being under a Level 3 Emergency, we’re required to stay off the roads (and honestly… it’s the safest choice 💙).

That means our office is closed for the day and we won’t be able to answer phones, return voicemails, or ship orders. We know delays are frustrating, and we truly appreciate your patience.

We hope to be back in the office tomorrow (Tuesday 🤞), but we’ll see how today goes with the weather… Mother Nature is clearly in charge right now 😅 and she's keeping it quite cold!

In the meantime, we’re still here for you via our boards and email—and as always, our website is open 24/7 for all of your cross stitching needs 🧵✨

Stay safe, stay warm, and stay stitching!

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

Good Monday morning everyone and happy Australia Day to our Australian friends. Well, to start, we got about another foot of snow dumped on us during the night over what was already there and it's snowing very hard as I type. We quickly made a path for Buddy and Poppy so they could do their business. They didn't linger long outside. We don't have cabin fever yet and are keeping ourselves busy with hobbies and household chores that need to be done that we've been putting off. What are some of you doing during this storm? Have a merry Monday and a good week!

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

I was just wondering how many of you are going to get the visit from Fern. West central Ohio is my home. Powdery snow is to be our gift from Fern. No predictions on the amount, only that it will begin to snow Saturday afternoon and continue until 1:00-2:00 Monday morning. Plus we will stay in the deep freeze temperature wise. This is the first real winter we’ve had since we moved here 5 years ago. I grew up here, so I’m glad to see it.

Pam's smiles and potpourri posts? I haven't seen one since Thursday. Is everything OK? I hope she is alright. I love those posts. They make me smile and start my day off on a happy note.

Happy Sunday morning everyone. Still in the deep freeze for at least another week, but thankfully very little snow has fallen. Yesterday I made egg roll in a bowl and some gingerbread and happily stitched away. I saw a beautiful cardinal yesterday. I love the bright spot of color against the backdrop of a winter landscape. Today will be a repeat of yesterday and that's fine with me. Have a serene Sunday.

Good Moring


Leviticus 10: 6 - 11


6 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons
Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not undercover
your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you
do not die and He does not become wrathful
against all the congregation. But your kinsmen,
the entire house of Israel, shall weep for the
burning which the Lord has brought about.


7 You shall not even go out from the doorway
of the tent of meeting, or you will die; the Lord's
anointing oil is upon you." So they did according
to the word of Moses.


8 The Lord then spoke to Aaron, saying,


9 "Do not drink wine or strong drink, neither you
nor your sons with you, when you come into
the tent of meeting, so that you do not die
it is a permanent statute throughout your
generations


10 and to make a distinction between the holy
and the profane, and between the unclean
and the clean,


11 and so as to teach the sons of Israel all
the statutes which the Lord has spoken
to them through Moses."


Have A Bless Day and a safe one.

Running out early this morning to make sure I have everything I need at home......Trader Joe opens at 8 AM...I noticed a small squigly light in my dashboard that went on. I think it means "tires need air" so off to station to check that out also. IMy son needs a port procedure Wednesday (he is fighting lung and bone cancer) ...Don't know if cabs will be available...so my car has to be in good condition. I will get to this ASAP ! Thank God for stitching and yarns to keep my mind occupied .
