Caffeine
Sometimes it’s good and a lot of times it’s not. Yesterday as I mentioned I was a bit panicky. I don’t always do well with deadlines. Procrastination was a word I knew well in school. It was a word I lived by literally. This project was nothing like procrastination though. As soon as we met…

The Finished Project
Sunday I finally had the towels ironed and folded up to give to the proud Mama to be for the 2nd time. I enjoy how my stitches can transform into more than just the key that the project instructions show me to make. Precious Moments have made a lot of gifts for me over the…

Update On My Cobra
It seems like a lot has happened since Saturday. Cross-stitch takes a lot of brain power counting and making sure where you are in the key helps quite a bit. So Saturday evening I noticed something off that caught me off guard. I had counted over and over again, but somehow I missed it. You…
