Welcome to ChitChat!

Good Monday morning everyone. One word: COLD. It's more indoor activities as this winter just wears on. I got a lot of backstitching accomplished yesterday on my spring cardinals pattern and watched a bunch of "Father Knows Best" shows. I don't know why I like vintage black and white TV shows so much, but I do. Today will delve into Ancestry some more, too. Have a marvelous Monday and a good week!

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

I found the floss I need for the Christmas snowfriends banner. Can you help me find the buttons I need to embellish the project?

can I substitute 14count aida for 18 count aida on a design that is 100stitches high by 100 stitches wide without losing the design?

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

Here are the two of them, framed

Good Sunday morning everyone. A 15 to 20 below zero cold snap on the way and I'm grateful to be inside happily stitching away. Yesterday I was doing Bryan's family tree on his mother's side and got a DNA match with his Bryan's grandfather on this side of the family. What a surprise and we laughed about it all day. Bryan's DNA hasn't processed yet, so it was definitely mine. Also found out his great-grandfather is my 1st cousin 3x removed and his great-great-great grandfather is my 3rd uncle. Now people have mistaken us for brother and sister lots of times and we laughed about it, but now, well, it appears we are 2nd cousins 1 generation removed. Anyone else do Ancestry and get a strange surprise?
Have a good Sunday!

Good Saturday morning everyone. Is January over yet? No luck in obtaining the Cross Stitcher Magazine March 2026 issue, but today I'll call Michael's, Barnes and Noble, and our library to see if they have that issue. I haven't given up. I wish Jo Ann's was still in business because they carried that magazine. Not much going on around here, but it's very quiet because of the snow, which is one of the reasons I do like winter. Enjoy your weekend and stay warm if you're in the Northern climes!

Does anyone else still iron other than to press a finished cross stitch piece? That was my chore for this am. I only do our church clothes and pillow cases, placemats, and table cloths when necessary. Oh, and a doile or 2 once in a while. I quit ironing sheets after we moved back to Ohio 5 years ago. Ironing is a chore I hate🤬 even more than dusting, but it was ingrained into me that there are certain things you just have to iron. My mother was an ironing expert and she lined us 3 older girls up at ages 8,9, 10 one summer and taught us how to iron. Worst summer ever!!😭 Anyone else have horror stories about ironing or something else?

Good Morning
