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

The singers did a wonderful job with both National Anthems tonight. We had just settled ourselves in front of the baseball game. Then boom boom! The Blue Jays hit two back-to-back home runs each on the first pitch! Wow! So exciting! The first pitch of the game! 😊 The next game is in Toronto! Very cool!

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

Does the subject design come with the floss and cloth? The price seems high for just the pattern brochure but there was no option to purchase supplies needed for the design

When I try to mark off my stitches I have done I get this message… see photo
Where do I get this password?

hello. I have been working on this project for a while now, and I love it, but I misplaced half of the pattern. How do I get a replacement pattern and not a whole new kit? Thanks

What does the poem on this one say? It is hard to see in the image.

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Up a little earlier today and happy to say the Christmas ornament issue has arrived! I love the stained glass and gingerbread patterns and the animals. I do miss the recipes they used to have in the issue, though. This year we decided not to exchange Christmas gifts and instead are going to make donations to the food bank here and the homeless shelter. We have respectfully asked family members that we do not wish to receive gifts, but if they want to donate to these organizations with the monies they would have spent, then it's up to them. I think this is something we will do from here on out. I had no idea until doing further research that 1 in 8 families in the United States are on SNAP benefits. Homelessness is up 18% since 2024 and estimates are around 770,000, but it's probably more. 1/10th of our city's population is homeless with about half of them unsheltered. Are we living in a third world country with these statistics? We were a little irritated with Bryan's sister when we made our request. All she could say was that we were crazy and that homeless, hungry people brought it on themselves and most of them were mentally ill. It is not up to us to judge why they are in the situation. Anyway, that's what's on my mind this morning. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
