Stay tuned to your emails and our socials because the box will be released sometime in October 😉🍁🍂🎃 ~Kristi @ ECS

Rylyn came home from the hospital for good yesterday. Big smiles all round. Dwayne showed me picture of her - no hair but looks so cute. She's put on weight. She got to ring the gong and all the staff gathered round to say good bye. Let's hope that's it for her. Thank you so much for all your prayers and continued prayers that she doesn't have to go through this ever again. Thank you to everyone who sent her cards, especially the person who sent one to Rylyn, her mom, dad and brother. She will be doing school remotely for the time being, probably all year. She had to write a paragraph as part of an assignment and said she was "looking forward to going her to see her dog and her brother", in that order. LOL Staff is so happy. Again, thanks for all the prayers and cards.

We were at a disaster preparedness meeting on Wednesday night for the next time we are faced with a disaster so we can be organized, neighborhood by neighborhood to help each other, since 911 and police would not be able to answer all of the calls. The Fire Chief was there and shared that on the Archie fire, if the wind had not changed direction when it did, that all of Sutherlin would have burned and there would have been nothing they could have done about it. I am SO grateful.

Just got my Hallowe’en picture from the framers. Will go in the mail tomorrow to my Hallowe’en crazy grandson😃

Hello lady's, I am looking for two blackwork charts I have one that I have a photo of but I'll have to leave another message so you may see the second pattern photo. They are older patterns and I have been trying to find where to purchase them. Now the second pattern which is by Thea Gouverneur called Galleon it's a Spanish ship I found. But I am having a hard time justifying $93.00, even though it includes the fabric and floss. The second pattern is a Holbien called the Needlewoman. If you search Holbien web site it's there but you can not buy it. Please help if you can and I'm leaving another message so I can post a picture of the Spanish galleon. Thanks CeeCee

Only used 14ct Aida what is 25 ct openweave there are too many fabric names -attempting to try a new one

Can the 18 cnt fabric be exchanged for 14 cnt?

I bought this chart from you about a year ago. I just saw a different color wave shown somewhere else for this exact design and wonder if you know what colors were used for the symbols because I like this version. I would change out the colors if I knew which ones were used for what symbols. I am including the link here for you to take a look and see https://www.crosstitch.com/search?f=114letrs19 Thank you.

Have you heard about these Ann? Every part is black, bones, innards, meat. Hmmmmm. There is a picture of it ready to eat. Not very appetising. They are called Ayam Cemani.

Here is the picture of the Spanish galleon. Thanks CeeCee

I am feeling down but she came up and sat on my lap. She always knows how to make me feel better.

Scientists in the UK have found out that you are more likely to dream lying on your left side, so if it’s rest you want lie on your right side and for adventure lie on your left.😴🤣

Is Star Wars done on black Aida or white? If it is black, do you know anyone that has done it with a 14 count? 18 would be too tiny for me on black.

I have nearly completed Thatched Cottage. I've worked on it since March. Being nearly 84 years old and homebound, I've worked on it daily for many hours. The directions say to not wash. After so much time, it is probably soiled but not visibly. Should I just not worry about it and go ahead and frame? I'd appreciate suggestions. Be safe. Thanks, Lela

Have you noticed how even the smallest change in your surroundings can lift your spirits. I just changed my scissors and bits and bobs holder and by the way I feel you’d think I’d given my entire room a successful make over not just my insignificant stitching tray, which isn’t so insignificant after all.
