Thanks so much. I'll give it a try and hope my eyes appreciate it!

It's lovely Tracy. Working on a dark background is really challenging. I'm working on dark green right now. Any tips?

How about this to get ready to move on after the election? The most humongus sage smudge.

Yes, my partner and I are always laughing about toilet paper math.

In all my years of cross stitch have not used variegated floss. Please post pics of your progress and pass along any hints if we want to try it.

Well, despite the warm temps it's time to put the gardens to bed for their winter sleep. Here's the dahlia bulbs ready for their winter nap. Looks like a bunch of potatoes!

What a wonderful thing to do. Love his products to, and this gives me even more reasons to buy them.

Cross stitch is a good tool for relaxing ,staying focused, and creating a thing of beauty. Here’s one of my latest from a pattern by a Ukrainian designer.
