Ten years ago today, Bill & I scampered off to Taos, NM and got hitched; Happy Anniversary to us! We don’t usually make a big fuss over our anniversary but I thought a cross stitch was in order to commemorate being able to stand each other for a whole decade. I got the stitching done in time, just not the finishing…. but at least I didn’t forget the day entirely this year. This is LHN’s “Always & Forever”, done in colors to match our bedroom. Maybe I’ll get it framed by our 11th?

Why is it so hard for women to rest? If a man (thinking of my husband specifically) had been told by his doctor to rest after surgery, he’d grab the remote, get on the couch, and not move again until he had to go to the bathroom. After which he’d go immediately back to the couch. I, on the other hand, haven’t been a good rester at all. I sometimes think I get more done when I’m supposed to be taking it easy than on normal days… as though I’m feeling guilty for relaxing so I do extra housework to compensate. Stupid, I know, but there it is.

The Sassy’s Fabbys colors of the week are good ones… this Aurora is just gorgeous, isn’t it?  I don’t know what I’d use it for, but I think I have to have some!

I really like this new design from La D Da, “Live, Love, Laugh”.

How cute is this snowman button?!   Hob-Nobb has some very sweet little stitching projects, and Amy carries a nice selection over at Down Sunshine Lane

I have been lusting after these Sajou scissors ever since they came out!

This “Patriotic Patchwork” sampler that Belinda (Blue Ribbon) designed is really nice…

Even though I feel like a bull in a china shop whenever I attempt to stitch a Just Nan design, I really like her new “Sirens of the Sea“… maybe I’ll add it to my collection of charts I’ll never stitch that I have purchased  just because I admire the artwork.

OK, naptime again.  Thank you for all the get well wishes!  I appreciate it :)
