Welcome to ChitChat!

Good Tuesday July eve morning everyone. Yes, it was 107 with the heat index yesterday and more on the way. It was a laundry, stitching, and watching movie kind of day. Today will be a repeat other than no laundry. It is nice sitting outside with our coffee in the morning before the heat hits. Wishing everyone a terrific Tuesday!

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

The pictures are an article from research done in Norway on the brain activity during writing by hand and typing on a keyboard.

The researchers conclude that the unique motor and sensory experience of holding a pen plays a key role in brain development and learning. As a result, they argue that handwriting instruction should remain a core part of education to support deeper comprehension and cognitive growth in the next generation.

Good Morning!
It is going to be a super hot and humid week, yuck! Already have everything closed up curtains closed and the fans on. Most i will be doing today is stitching and going thru my recipes ( I tend to rip out and collect from magazines ) so now time to go thru and discard some. Gracie is laying on the cool tile floor in the kitchen already. Take care and stay safe and cool.

Hugs
Holly

Just ordered Lady Sillouette. The lady (in black) is ok for me to follow but the background with the tree and little blossoms on it is very challenging. Athough I wear 250 reading glasses for all my cross stitching, I found that these glasses may not be enough. I am wondering about magnification. I see these contraptions that are worn around your neck. Will this work for me ? I am wondering if any of you lovely ladies can clue me in on what the best thing to get for this problem I have. I love the pattern and really want to do this !
