In the Midst


Currently, I am working on a stitchery that I bought a few years ago, because it is British-themed. That, along with a book I just purchased (see above), will keep me quite busy for a few days. I also got my Close To My Heart order in the post today so I'll soon begin making/designing my Christmas cards for this year. My order consists of papers and a stamp set (floral type, not Christmas; I have Christmas - you'll see, 'cos I'll share later). But, I need to set aside time to do these crafty things while Chief isn't home. He is TDY (shipped out) this week . . . so it can either be a long week or a long week with things getting done. I get many things done while he's away.

In case Regan reads this, she knows I was going to begin a kit my sister sent me years ago of Mickey and Minnie dancing . . . it was to adorn the walls in my oldest son's room - when he was in his crib. Well, alas! Many years later . . . I began that stitchery to only completely bungle it. It has many many far too many quarter stitches, which was fine until I didn't count correctly. To pull the many many far too many stitches out and correct it would mean wasting the floss. So, I threw the kit away. Hence, the British one coming out and my obsessive over-counting in over drive so I don't bugger this one.

Oh, and one more thing: I did find my missing picture of Mary . . . in the last box, which was also mislabeled. Any time I worry, it's a waste of my time. I'll try to remember that next time I worry. He he he.

One of my favorite ditties:

Worry is a futile thing-
It's somewhat like a rocking chair.
Although it keeps you occupied-
It doesn't get you ANYWHERE!

Always good to remember...
Good luck on the stitchery!
