First snow, some serious stitching time and
The rest of them are watching football. I've done my trivia and will go back
to my book (Home Ice by Jack Falla, may G*d rest his soul) shortly. I've made fair progress with a Dimensions kit - Live Simply. I've had tons of birds at the feeder today as the snow drifts down. Which makes me think about starting a freebie I just received from Dyan's group of a chickadee. C |

I'll do my Global Challenge, plus the hourly ones before I got off to work this morning, and do the second set of GC when I get home. Tomorrow may be a write-off as I have 20-30 people coming for dinner. (It's a club meeting, and we always eat first - I'm making it simple - grocery store lasagna, salad, garlic bread, plus bars and cookies for dessert.) MargW |

MargW- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - What do you earn a brain for? For some reason this just struck me funny - as it should go along with "what do you use a brain for?" While I have no idea - as they don't really seem to be handed out to those in need - I'm betting it's part of playing Global Challenge on the web. But, back to topic - I've decided to take advantage of the job seeking time, and do some stitching. Yeah. It was miserable cold, icy, rain yesterday - even the dog didn't want to be out. So I cooked and baked (while DH of course was at a rink). Today - it's kind of sunny/overcast - and my big debate is to bring the stitching to the main floor, put it on my floor stand, and then I only have to go up 1 large flight to do laundry, as opposed to 2. The other big debate in life - the bread product to bake for under the Turkey ala King (Donna already said I should do biscuits....as opposed to a rustic bread.... Or a brioche). Serious stitching time is needed - as I've finally got the supplies in hand (much changing involved) to do Baroque (16" square on 18 ct black canvas, doing in deep amythest/purple, black, and kind of pale amethyst/silver, the sample I want to have in the framer's in 2-3 weeks or so). Link to see the original: http://www.stitches-heart.com/jeanhilton/ All the outer is actually stitched. My black is what is red, the purple where the teals/green are, and the pale amethyst/silver is in place of the gold. I'm trying some Ombre in an amaxing graduated color in place of the Fyrewerks which is the large crescents that kind of form hearts - we'll see. Teaching this piece in Jan/Feb. And, I need to finish another quadrant of Twister to teach in 2 weeks. Don't think a lot of job hunting is happening right now! Anyhow - seems a good time to enjoy some quiet, and intensively stitch. I may even actually work on a "fun" piece - maybe finish up one of my Drawn Thread pieces - which I'd like to finish for Woodlawn this year. Ah, well. Ellice |

MargW- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - What do you earn a brain for? If you are in the top 500 daily scorers in the FunTrivia games we play, you can earn up to 25 brain (depending on where you are at the end of the day). My best has been about 19 brains, but lots of days I don't have enough points to earn any. MargW |
