Time Flies When You're Having Fun Or NOT....

2021 Is here.  2020 wasn't the best year for us but it wasn't the worst year either.  In 2020 I left Walmart and went to work for another retail establishment.  

I discovered YouTube.  At first I only watched Flosstube videos but then I discovered Terri S. Foy videos, Planner videos, and more.

On the stitching front: HELP!!!   I have dozens and dozens of WIPs ( works in process).  I am, no longer, a One-At-A-Timer Stitcher.   I am, what is called, a Process Stitcher, which means I stitch for the journey not the destination.  Below is a cut and paste of my March Madness 2020 list with an update next to it.

Happy 2020!!!/March Madness 2020

I found Facebook and for got all about this blog, until I stumbled upon it today.  A lot has happened since my last post.  We're now living in Gastonia, North Carolina. And of course I'm still cross stitching. I inherited a Facebook group that I called "Cross Stitch Circle of Friends" June 2015 and In 2016 I invited my BBF, Linda Fredizzi, that I met at the Hersey Retreat Oct 2015 to be a Co-Admin and she just ran with it. We work well together.

For the second year we are doing March Madness in our Facebook Group.  The Challenge is to work on a WIP or New Project every day in March.  Below is my list for 2020.  Tomorrow I will add pictures of what I've done these first 4 days.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016 !!!

There was no stitching on New Years Day but I did get a lot of laundry done.  I want to clean and organize my corner in Frank's office. Some how I have to get my stitching started up again.

Lost My Stitching Mojo...

I lost my stitching mojo. I haven't picked up a needle since The Hersey Retreat 2015 in October. It hasn't stopped me from getting more stash. 

Suzy's Birth Sampler

I decided to stitch a Mermaid Birth Sampler for Suzana instead of the Name Sampler. Suzy's 1 yr birthday party theme was Mermaids. So I'm going to go with it. I ordered it from 123Stitch.com and I should get it tomorrow or Friday. 

Welcome to July 2015

I can't believe it's July already. I spend way to much time on the internet.  I have hardly touched the needle.  See below.
