Totally Tuesday!

Tuesday didn't end up as busy as I thought it was going to be last night when I wrote the blog. I had plans to go out for breakfast with Jo and Carolyn, but Carolyn isn't feeling well so we postponed our plans for today and will put that on the calendar when she is feeling better. I also had plans to work in the church library with Donna and we did do that. We did maintenance and a little nore weeding and had fun catching up with each other's worlds! I ran an errand on the way home and am now home for the evening. I just realized that I got busy inside once I got home and need to empty the wastebaskets in the house and get them out to the trash can. I rolled the garbage can out to the road when I got back home, but forgot to finish the task! It is still light so I will do that as soon as I publish this. Today I went back to sorting things on and in Woody's dresser. I had started doing that months ago, but had put that task aside to move on to something else and am now back to it. I did get underway with the next Christmas ornament...so now doing ornaments for family and friends who live close at hand...there are more of those than I have already made...so really only getting underway with the ones that I have completed...many more to go! But I am enjoying choosing ones that seem to "fit" each person I am stitching them for...the ones I am working on now have a farming theme...hmmmmmm...I wonder who those recipients might be! I found these patterns/charts in a cross stitch magazine from years gone by...as in 1990...a magazine that is almost 35 years old! Old...but still perfect for what I am doing. I always knew that I would use these magazines that I have saved! I told Woody several years back...that I had plenty of charts, etc. and that all I would need to buy would be linen and threads to stitch them on and with! True to my word! I rarely buy new charts these days. I am enjoying stitching on what I purchased over the years...liked what I bought way back when and still like them today. Now...there are some things that I purchased years back that I probably won't end up stitching as my tastes and the times have changed since then...but, samplers and Christmas ornament patterns really haven't changed in style...so on I stitch with purchases from the past! There is an acronym used for stitchers like me...Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy = SABLE...that's me a SABLE stitcher! And, I will add in here that what I have accumulated over the years is waaaaaaay less than what I see with the stitchers that I watch on Flosstube/YouTube for stitchers! I sit with nouth agape when I see ALL that some have accumulated. I have a very small stitching stash in comparison...but mine is plenty big and I will definitely not be able to stitch all that I have accumlated before I die...just stating facts!!!! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
