Hi guys, I used to post here a loooong time ago. I love x-stitch with my heart and soul, but I can't complete anything and every few years I go through a phase where I think I can :-) I used to have lots of free time at my old job too and made some horse patterns using Stitch. I was always a...

Boy, the weather all over the place seems to have been wild lately. Karen has been having high winds and snow, Sheena and Cheryl and the other nor-easterners have had storm after storm, and today it's wind. The last three days have been amazing - we've set record high temps for this time of the...
