It's Wednesday...

Happy Hump Day. This week seems to be flying by. I have seen some of my stitching friends start counting down to Christmas (there are 98 days as of today). That just seems scary. There is so much living that needs to take place now, I can't even go there :)

We had a quiet weekend, which was nice. There seems to be a lot of time on our hands with only one kid at home. I did get some X's made on My Torah Portion (again, sorry for the wrinkly photos):

LAST WEEK...

THIS WEEK...

Yes, this week's is more wrinkled (ha, ha)...but, I did finish 2 more lines. I just have 1.5 more lines to stitch and then I will have completed the hebrew letters of the torah portion. It will be such an accomplishment to have that done. I am so tired of stitching in black!

On Monday, the mailman (or should I say postperson to be politically correct?), brought my copy of:

I was so excited. So many of you out there in blog land received your copies earlier than I...so I was worried; even contacted Just CrossStitch to confirm that it was part of my subscription. You can down load an electronic version if you have a subscription, which I did. But there is nothing better than having the hard copy in hand. I know that there are a lot of things that have gone to electronic versions - books on kindle, e-versions of class room books so that our students don't have to lug big heavy books. But there is just something wonderful about turning pages, looking at the colors, flipping through the book/magazine. I do care about our planet and sometimes worry about all the landfills...but I am also old fashion and like my hardcopy!!!

And since I am so tired of stitching in black, flipping through a beautiful, colorful magazine filled with colorful cross stitched ornaments is so wonderful :)

Well, time to go out for a little walk this morning. Until next time, take care and remember...

Live, Love, Laugh and Stitch Often!
