I’ve spent a great deal of time off the pc, in case you didn’t notice. I’ve been happily stitching the last few days and making beautiful progress on M-Designs “Sunny Summer”. I’m happy with the pattern and content to stitch on it daily.

I will be doing a rotation with another Breast Cancer Mandala (courtesy of Ink Circles) to work on to donate to the West Michigan Cancer Center in Kalamazoo. I’d like to do other colors for other forms of cancer to stitch and donate as well. If anyone has a site that shows the different colors of cancer ribbons, I’d appreciate it.

I got my threads from Carries Creations recently. I love her use of color. She is fearless in her dyes and finds beautiful color combinations.

Just in case it doesn’t show, I’m going to start adding some cross stitch related links. I’ve happily re embraced my stitching. I spent a handful of hours with Deb and she has found me tons of beautiful freebies (free patterns) and I’ve been on a downloading frenzy. I’m considering a trip to Stitching Bits & Bobs soon to finally see the store front and pick through all her goods. I told Shawn I’d like to go up for my birthday and see what kinds of new scissors I can find. (My lil gold stork scissors are dying fast)

For those that wanted to see a review this week, sorry. I’m not feeling so hot today and not going to do the review today. Expect it tomorrow. I’m trying to decide which item to review. I’m clueless and that doesn’t help much but I will get it done tomorrow and share it with you all.

For the time being, I am liking being distanced from the computer. I’m reconnecting with the most important person, myself. I have finding the small things inside myself that I forgot I liked so much and discovering old things that brought me joy.

Time to get around, feed animals and Logan and then settle in to watch some tv and stitch. I may scan my work and show it off later. :)
