Any one get "stitch gifts" for Christmas
Cheryl Isaak
them to rctnp later.
I'm buying myself a few books from the catalog I spoke of - 2 Anchor series
books and a few more. I'll talk about the "S.E.X" when they arrive.

None yet....but I think I'll probably use some of the $$$ from DM
for "stitch gifts." Perhaps I'll use some of the Borders Gift Card
$$ for stitching books or magazines I normally would just look
at but not buy.

the family tots should be in a big girl bed, and that means they are due
a bedspread size afghan.

Two books. It's a Christmas miracle when people listen. And pay
attention. And remember. And then, finally, act on said information
that they heard.
Thus I received: The Bayeux tapestry By Lucien Musset and A Needle
in the Right Hand of God by R. Howard Bloch.
Happy I am!

I placed an order for a old cross stitch chart that's either out of print or
in very short supply, which shall remain nameless because I can't for the
life of me remember the name now and I'm too lazy to look it up. I think it
might be called something like Out Of This World. It's just an abstract
design that uses lots of colors and odds and ends of floss. It looked like
a fun project to have handy when you need something to pick up and put down
without a thought.
I hope they can find it for me.
Sadly, I just got a phone call from a friend who was with us at Christmas
dinner yesterday. His wife, who we knew wasn't feeling great went home,
had a massive heart attack and died last night. We all had a great time
talking and laughing and eating too much so at least her last time was a
happy one.

I'll say. Over the past 50 years, I've gotten so used to Santa not
bringing me what's at the top of my list that I've started simply buying
for myself whatever is "can't live without".

boucle yarn in sort of autumn tree colours (greens, golds, browns.) Since I
will (finally) have 3 days off in a row at New Years, I look forward to test
driving it then on a couch with a cat and a good book.

Several years ago I stitched the head of Evangeline, a MLI design, on silk
gauze. For Christmas I received a music box with a nice oval opening in
which it fits nicely. I'll post a picture after I mount it.

I received a small item in my Xmas stocking. Can't remember the name of
it, but it is the little plastic magnifying bar, which has magnets
either end, and can mark the place on your chart when on a metal sheet.
The little magnets had fallen off mine, and DH said he had some in his
Man Cave. I forgot about it, until I found it in my stocking.
My New Year Resolution is to take time to stitch a little each day;
especially since I have a new "domestic engineer", nicknamed "The White
Tornado" around the neighborhood. She will be coming every two weeks, so
I HAVE to pick up the place before her visits.

I'm sorry. Same thing happened to us a few years back at a gathering
my sister had. The family was comforted by the fact that he had spent
his last hours fishing and partying with friends - things he loved to
do.

My daughter-in-law (who once said she would never do 'craft' - she's
an artist) now has a home of her own and has begun stitching. This
year I got a lovely appliqued sampler. Will wonders never cease!!!

But, but, but.............this is NOT just a "craft", this is *FiberArt*
I will have her know. (Even though I , personaly, do not do cross
stitch - not my preference).

I'm happy, too! And I agree about the miracle part. I got not one,
but *two* gift certificates to Nordic Needle!!!! They will pay for
nearly all I need for the Carol Singers design by Victoria Sampler.
WOOHOO! This is the first time, I think, I've ever gotten stitchy
gifts from family, other than from my mom.
Oh, and a belated Merry Christmas to all of you!

she did make it up to that shop in Geneva. . .
I did hit Joann's yesterday and got a bunch of Christmas-y material
for NEXT year's presents - I am going to make holiday throws for those
who I think might appreciate them~!

What a nice idea.
I started shopping a week before Christmas; was in a total fog, and am
beginning to come out of it. Never again will I volunteer to run
something big just a week or so before the holiday. I am 73..(no oops
37) and let the youngsters do it.

and a book of making jewlery using celtic knots that looks very interesting.
I have never received so many stitiching books. I was amazed.

Hey - this gives me an idea for a lot of old floss I have lying
around.
I have had a design drawn out for years - - sort of a stained glass
window effect. Thanks for the inspiration and memory jog.
Sorry about that woman, but at least she didn't linger and suffer.

And don't forget the soft music of your choice and a hot chocolate.
Doesn't get much better than that. (And the hubster out of the house
too, if that applies... : )) )

I have two of the series and am going to buy two more of them. I find them
to be great references.
