Random Ramblings

I have a new project in the works.  Here are some hints.

Starting a new stitching project?  Make yourself a cardboard rectangle and punch holes.  Thread your floss through the card but save your original thread packaging and labels so that you can put the floss back when you are done with the current project.
I also like to add the symbol from the chart I'm stitching above the floss as well as the color name.
I always photocopy my charts.  I purchased the pattern and the chart is for my personal use so it's not a copyright infringement.    Notice the X under the bird's wing left of the pink arrow?  That's the middle of my design chart and I like to draw on the copy instead of the original.
 I bought myself a bit of much-needed Spring.
And last and definitely least, R. sent me this link.  She knows how much I like to entertain.  I guess SOMEONE (who has clearly lost all of their marbles) thinks spraying cherry tomatoes with edible paint is appetizing.   REALLY......................what will they think of next?

  3. Ewwww. That's not even appetizing! Yipee -- there's nothing like the excitement of starting a new project. Well, maybe the excitement of finishing said project when it takes forever LOL. Your new project looks like it's going to be fun -- can't wait to see it as you work along!

  5. What lovely colors for your new project! I just started a new knitting project last night. There's such excitement to using new colors, isn't there?

  6. Love the color palette you're using for your new project -- so soft and pretty. That chart looks scary and complicated, but I'm a total coward when it comes to counted cross stitch ;). Can't wait to see your finish.

  7. Cross stitch is daunting to me, but I like your thread colors. Those golden tomatoes just don't look one bit appetizing to me.

  8. Your hands are always busy doing such pretty, crafty things, Bonnie. You inspire me:)
    I wonder why the tomato painter didn't just use the plastic(or even wooden) version!?!
