I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.
Cheap thrill: Picked up some more floss today at Michael’s Crafts. They had everything I wanted but DMC 725, how odd is it that only that one bin in the whole display aisle should be empty? The nice cashier promised me they’d have some more in real soon, which is not exactly important as I doubt I’ll drive all the way back there just for one 34-cent packet of thread. *laughs* But it was nice of her anyway.

I’ve finally decided on my next project at long last: “Kindness” Sampler by Birds of a Feather. I’ve been looking for something for years that would suit my fancy and also be just the right size for my 9″ x 9″ wooden serving tray that has an insert area for stitching, and I’m thinking that this will just fit the bill. I’ve never done a chart by Birds of a Feather before, although I have long wanted to, and am looking forward to working on it.
Oooohhh: I am so tickled by the design of these new USPS first-class postage stamps!
It’s been rainy and overcast all day, which is great for the oleander in the backyard but bad for selecting conversion floss colors for the chart I wanted to start today.
Have been migrating my needlework blog to Blogger.com, simply because I liked the looks and flexibility of this place and several of the other blogs posted here.
I’ve spent a chunk of time these last few evenings trying to decide what to stitch next. I’ve perused other people’s blogs looking for interesting finishes – which I probably won’t attempt, but which are fun to see and admire. I’m not big on doing several projects at once, as that’s too much like my RL job! I prefer to concentrate on one chart at a time. Also don’t have a lot of spare cash at the moment, so I am trying to select carefully.
Adding a simple green border to this quick and easy Prairie Schooler beehive was a good idea. Little projects like this are always fun to stitch.
