Welcome to ChitChat!

Good very windy Monday morning everyone. We went from 62 degrees yesterday to 24 degrees this morning with a skiff of snow. The wind is howling and the dogs did not want to go outside. Thankfully we are stocked up on potty pads. Yesterday we watched the squirrels go crazy running back and forth. I've observed that squirrels are a good indicator of when we're in for bad weather. Today I'm making the Italian vegetable soup and stitching on the mermaid, doing laundry, and staying inside. Have a good week. Winter has only just begun!

I lost the instructions for this stocking and I need to have them so I can complete the stocking . I have completed every thin except the Teddy Bear. I hope you can send me just the instructions, I have everything else. I am an 88 year old great grand mother making this stocking for my great grand daughter.

I think I have asked this before but can't seem to find the answer... A while ago I received a large cross stitch stash from someone who can no longer stitch
Among the stash was a large piece of davos(a) in a lovely shade of golden yellow. I've stitched on aids, linen, lugana, jobelan but never davosa... I need some
some pointers. Do I stitch over one or two? How many plies of thread? I've found a really lovely autumn scene I think would look beautiful on this piece of material but I don't know if it will work. Though I've been cross stitching for over 40 years, I'm at a loss here!! Any advice will be much appreciated. Many thanks.😊

I found a Christmas stocking kit, right facing ‘riding high Santa’ does the pattern have a place for a name at the top, if so what is the full length of the finished stocking?

Thank you
Kathy

I was wondering what others were going to make their finished piece into. I'm thinking a pillow but not sure.

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

Will there be a 2026 SAL?

Ice, ice and more black ice with cloudy skies in Utica NY

Is it a kit?
What is the count on this?
How hard, what level?

“Revealed “ #24 Jehovah Raah means The Lord My Shepherd. The Scripture reference is Psalm 23:1-6.
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
There’s a lot to unpack in those 6 verses. Countless books have been written on just this Psalm. This devotional, “Revealed “ pointed out something I hadn’t caught in my many readings of this Psalm. Not only does the Shepherd care for and meet the needs of the sheep so that they want for nothing, but He cooks a meal for them and serves them Himself. Dwell on that and it will humble your heart before the Great I Am.
