Welcome to ChitChat!

Hi, I’m working on this Patriotic Gnome, and after doing this part of the beard, realized that it looks brighter than the colors in the picture. I’m using the called for colors in the color key. I’m about to start the stripes. I’m just curious if anyone has done one of Les Petites Croix projects and if they had any questions about the colors. I’ll post a picture of the stripes soon.

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

Good Tuesday morning everyone. The week is off to a good start and today is laundry day, which includes a lot of dog blankets. Dachshunds love to burrow because they were trained to go in tunnels after badgers. Made good progress on "Lady" yesterday, but that black...I think I'm going to pull out an Imaginating pattern called "Spring Cardinals", which has lots of cheerful colors. Hope everyone's week is going well!

Good Monday morning everyone and welcome to a brand new week. I hope it's more of a peaceful week, too. We need a break from all the negativity and now we are not only limiting device usage to an hour a day, but news to 15 minutes a day and not first thing in the morning. It is seriously for our mental health. We live in very trying and difficult times. Yesterday we ventured out to our favorite Italian bakery and were immersed in a protest of 400 people mourning the death of the woman shot by an ICE agent. They didn't seem to be mourning, but very, very angry. We didn't say a word, didn't know there was going to be a protest, and got our cannolis and left. After that, the decision was made to turn it off, turn it down, and focus on our lives and those who care about us. That's what's on my mind this Monday morning and knowing me, I'll stick with this. Have a great week ahead and listen to your inner self and what it needs.

can you provide the floss colors required to complete this piece?

kind regards,

Linda Didaleusky

Good Morning


Leviticus 8: 23 - 25


23 And Moses slaughtered it and took
some of its blood and put it on the
lobe of Aaron's right ear, and on
the thumb of his right hand and
on the big toe of his right foot.


24 He also had Aaron's sons come near;
and Moses put some of the blood on
the lobe of their right ear, and on the
thumb of their right hand and on the
big toe of their right foot. Moses then
sprinkled the rest of the blood around
on the altar.


25 He then took the fat, and the fat tail,
and all the fat that was on the entrails,
and the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys
and their fat, and the right thigh.


Have A Blessed Day!
Be Kind to one another!
