Settling In

Hello everyone! I have survived my move and thought it was time to do a post! I will talk more about that at the end.

The first 3 days in my new place, I didn't stitch. However, I made up for lost time with 3 finishes in almost one month. Here they are:

Disturbed Women by Lucy Beam/Becky Noland...

I stitched on this for an entire week and finished it. Love it! It's on Prairie Grass maybe? by Atomic Ranch fabrics, 36ct using the called for floss. She's a big'un!  I can't wait to have this framed. It'll be hung up in my craft room which is still in a state of disarray😂

Next finish is Halloween Saturday Night by the Stitcherhood...

The pumpkin people. I stitched this with WDW Onyx which I will never do again. I'd rather use DMC 310 on a small piece than an overdyes floss. I don't know what I was thinking. It turned out nice though. I did leave out a half moon up above the girls right shoulder. The fabric is some kind of evenweave.

The next finish I've misplaced😕 It's A Victorian Christmas by Samplers and Stitches. Once I find it, I'll show it. I know it's here in my new place.

For the last few days, I've been working on Merry Christmas Sampler by Pansy Patch Quilts and Stitchery...

I have stitched the entire top border and turned the corner on the right. I am now stitching a row of snowflakes? below the last row of alphabet. It will be like that row above the alphabet, white and gold color. Like Sian the Periwinkle Stitcher likes to say, this sampler is a 10 year project so I'm not in a hurry to finish😊

I also decided to join the Spring Mingle in May put on by Lindy Stitches. It's just like the Jingle Ball in December. This time I joined Hands On Design's class of a hexagon finish. Here's what I've stitched so far...

On 32ct Latte (not sure of dyer) with more substitutions than the called for floss😁 I really should stitch on this more. It could be a quick stitch. I think the Mingle is around the middle of May so I have time. I think! 

So that's my stitching for now. 

I fell victim to a Plum Street Sampler design that Sian shows in her 11th f'tube, Grace Doth Abound, stitched on Baked Clay by Fox and Rabbit. I bought the chart, a couple flosses I didn't have, and a fat quarter of Maple Bar linen by Cedar Creek linens, I think, from 123Stitch. It looks closest to the Baked Clay which is out of stock at 123. Right now the package is on an extended holiday in Sedona which is not far from me actually but I'm still getting mail from my previous home which is 45 minutes away and southwest from me. Who knows how and why the USPS does what it does🤷🏻‍♀️whenever I get it, I will start it immediately. 

About my move!

April 3rd is the official date of my move in. My daughter rented a Uhaul and we managed to get everything big and heavy into a 15ft van. I packed my trunk with boxes and the backseat with my cats! We put a small metal kennel in the backseat with a dog bed for them to lay in. They did not handle the trip well At All. Meowing and breathing heavily, I just kept saying "Hang on Kitties, we'll be there soon!" Once we got down to my place with their cat furniture, they stayed hidden in the little hiding places for the entire day! It was traumatizing for them and me! Happy to say that 4 weeks later, they are also settled in. Whew!

As for me, it took a little longer for me to get used to it here. I now call it home. I'm still traveling 80+ miles roundtrip to my job but I plan on finding a job here or in the nearby towns soon! 

Camp Verde has a population of 12,470. My former home is at 49,000. So I have to drive for a bit to grocery shop or go to Walmart. We do have a Bashas grocery store, a Dominos Pizza place, Starbucks, McDonald's, Burger King. If I want variety though, I have to drive to the slightly bigger town 25 minutes away that has 4 other grocery stores and more restaurants, fast food or eat in. With these gas prices nowadays, I try to order a pickup order at the Fry's at my former hometown and pick it up before I go to work. I put my cold refrigerated items in the fridge at work and grab them before I head home.

Above is the mountain that separates me from my former town. Yesterday I drove the other route that gets me to my job but it's through the mountain with those tight mountain turns which goes into the ghost town of Jerome. I went to shop for shoes and pack up more boxes from the house. I'll continue using the other route with the 65 and 75 mph on the interstate and then on a state highway to get to my job. Those mountain roads are just too much with hundreds of feet down on the other side of the guardrails! No thanks!

I still have a ton of things to move though. I currently don't have my sewing machine, and a lot of stitching stuff, trims, ribbons, etc. It's only when you move that you realize all the stuff you had or have! I have so much stitchy stuff! I didn't realize that was crammed into my bedroom. Here at my new place I have a room to put it all in but I need more shelving. I have not emptied all the boxes with stitchy stuff because I have nowhere to put it😂 

It's going to be an ongoing process, that's for sure!

I think that is it for now! I'll try to get back on my usual 2 week posting. Once I get my sewing machine back and a table for it, I want to FFO a lot of pieces.

Once I press publish, I'll find something to stitch on until Grace Doth Abound shows up. I'm looking forward to starting it🥰

Take care and we'll see you in May!

Stuff

Hi all! I'm finally back on time for a change! Since I basically stitched on 2 projects in the last 3 weeks I wasn't sure I'd have anything to talk about; but I actually do.

First, let's talk about the weather...Yikes! It's been pretty warm around here. This past week, we saw 91 and 92 degrees. Today it's 89. We don't get this warm until the last part of May and into June. I'm scared for what's in store for us this summer.

That was nothing compared to Phoenix this past Friday. I had to drive down for an ultrasound. I got there a whole half hour early, so I sat in my car. I gave it up at 9:30 am, starting to sweat! I have a clean bill of health, just got to watch that pre-diabetic condition that has been the story of my life 🤷🏻‍♀️ I've been knocking on that door for forever and only once have crossed the threshold. I have a ferocious sweet tooth so there's that!

After that appointment I decided to go to Attic Needlework in Mesa. The route I usually take gets me there within a half hour upon reaching Phoenix but this time I was practically in the middle of Phoenix so I had to do Maps to get there. However my phone wasn't cooperating! After a half hour of driving on those freeways, I pulled off and called my daughter to use her Maps app and direct me there. I was just 10 minutes away, lol. Anyway, here's what I bought (Carol, I know you've seen this picture already)..

The chart by Summerhouse Stitchworkes I've admired since it came out for market, the Christmas chart, the silk for a project that I've been slowly gathering silks for, and the 32ct vintage country mocha that I thought was 36ct, ugh. I'll still use it. When I left Phoenix it was 104. Here's the thing though, 104 is not hot! Not to Phoenicians or the rest of us who have been in hotter temps😅

It was still nice to get home!

Enough chatter, let's see what I've been stitching.

For the first 2 weeks of March, I started the 3rd Christmas ornament for Carol Stitching Dream's SAL. I decided on Sweets for Santa by HOD...

He's stitched on Latte by Zweigart I think, 32ct using most of the called for floss. Truthfully, all the stitching had me rethinking my choice! It took all of the 2 weeks! I'm glad I did though because it's wonderful. It's big though. I think I'll need a 4" sticky board round to FFO it. For April, I'll start the 2nd in this series through Patreon. I might as well stitch them all, right?!

WIPS

After I finished Santa, I started back on A Bit of Spring by BBD. I won't show it here but it's on Instagram which #azcampis is my handle there. I stitched on it for a week.

My next WIP is A Victorian Christmas by Samplers and Stitches...

I'm so close to a finish! Still needing the rest of her dress, a rectangular cartouche with Christmas in it underneath her, white floss for the letters and filled in with WDW Charcoal. I have changed how I react to a near finish. Before I'd get tunnel vision and give myself a big headache getting to the finish line! Now, I will set her down tonight and stitch on a WIP that did not get packed.

Market has come and gone and my order has arrived from Garon Stitchery. A conservative purchase. We're renting a u haul next weekend for my move to my new place. When I saw the book by Mrs Kogut, I emptied my pre-order list of everything else and added the book. I'm not me if I don't buy a Halloween chart! Both that and that coveted Christmas chart from Shakespeare's Peddler had to come home to me.

So, the first pattern is this one...

It takes 36ct Vintage Country Mocha, as mentioned up above. On 36ct the size would be 8 x 9 7/8. I. On 32ct it's 9 x 11 1/8. Nothing earth shattering, I just like shrinking patterns down🤷🏻‍♀️ it's been kitted up but since all of my WIPs have been packed and I can't borrow the missing floss, I'm kind of in limbo! I'll start it once I get settled into my place.

I believe that's it! I did all my chores yesterday so I can just sit and stitch for the rest of today. It's back to work tomorrow after having 4 days off for Spring Break. It's going to be rough, lol.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope your wintry weather begins to taper off soon! See you in April🙋🏻‍♀️

Hello March!

 Hello! So I tried really hard to post on the last day of February but I got my dates mixed. Then my phone was giving me grief. Here we go but it might be a short one🤷🏻‍♀️

In February I had one more finish and that's this cutey...

How cute is this scaredy cat?! For once the color of the fabric shows up right! On 30ct Carrot using the called for floss. I must admit that sewing on his eyes was a struggle. The model on the chart shows his 'eyes' looking up but not so much on mine. The color used on the cat is WDW Old Purple Paint or Old Faded Purple 🤪 not sure of which but I almost used the whole skein! What an adorable design. I have more of Val's Stuff charts because they're too 🥰cute.

I don't think I started anything new but I stitched on 4 maybe 5 items. On the Facebook group Stitching 911 (I also follow her flosstubes), Stacy announced a challenge. It was to find household items in your house and take a picture of said item with your stitching. So I joined! I have pictures for a few of the things so let's take a look.

I pulled out Summer in the Country by Stitches Through the Years, an Etsy shop. Here's what I have..

I stitched in 'hope' in the text, moved down on that left border and stitched in 2 and a half sheep. I used 36ct Parchment, non Zweigart linen. I think we all know how flimsy it can be. It's a good sized sampler. It's pretty though.

Next up are the dancing pumpkin people at the disco, Halloween Night Fever, a freebie by The Stitcherhood...

I stitched the rest of Her torso, on the left, and got to her belt. The Man pumpkin requires more stitching than Her. Then I moved on to....

Oops, I forgot her name but it's by Atelier Soed Idee. I stitched the rest of the big flower and wanted to stay stitching but I had to move on.

The others have only a few stitches in them. Because I got my dates wrong I had to stitch on 6 pieces before the end of February at 10pm Arizona time, on Saturday! Stacy would pick a winner from all those who found the 10 household items and the prize was a bunch of stitchy things. However I am sick and tired of Americans vs Americans (I cannot watch this happening), I have terminated my Facebook account so I don't know who won the goodies. I miss the stitch groups I was in though.

 I went in and saved important pictures to my phone. I warned friends and family that I was doing this. Yes, Instagram has nearly the same content about politics and such, but I'm ignoring it. With Facebook it was every other post that was politically based.

Back to the fun stuff!

Oh I did have a new start...

I started Jane Southward by GigiR. Ever since I saw this being stitched in a, you got it, Facebook group, I had to have it! Here's where I got to...

I'm using the called for 40ct WDW Cocoa and the over dyed cottons. It was the big chunky pink flowers that did me in! It's a huge piece even on 40ct. 

If anything, I'll save money not being in Facebook!😁

That's it for the stitching.

My daughter and I went to Phoenix this past Thursday for my doc appointment. It was 72 or 73 degrees and it was so nice but windy. We think we know what's going on with me and it's easily taken care of with some supplements but I have to go back for a gastric ultrasound to rule out anything else. Aanndd they're talking a colonoscopy, ugh! My blood pressure has shot back up and I'm back on meds for that. Getting old is not for the weak, I'm telling ya!😂

It's Market time!

All I preordered was 1 book and 2 charts. The book is Hello Snow (Winter?) by Theresa Kogut and the charts are from Shakespeare's Peddler, that's it! I could've done more damage but thought I'd get the charts when they're released further down the line.

What did you all preorder or were you behaving?!

 

I think this is pretty much it! I need to stitch more on my HOD Christmas ornament, it's one of the pieces with 4 stitches in it, lol.

Take care, stay safe! We'll meet again in 2 weeks...hopefully🙋🏻‍♀️

Stitch!

 

I don't know if we can call it awesome!🤷🏻‍♀️ somewhere someone said they were done with winter. We haven't even had a winter! 

Instead of the groundhog, Arizona has Agua Fria Freddy who is either a rattlesnake or a Gila Monster. The Gila Monster is a large beaded lizard that lives in the deserts south of me. They're protected and they're venomous. I guess when they bite they will not let go. I didn't think to get a picture of one!

Take a look at what's going on in my yard...

Yes, those are flowers, lol. This happens in April not February! As I've said before, Mom Nature has gone crazy!

Shall we do stitching? Let's go!

I have 2 finishes and 4 pieces that I've been working on.

Here's my finish...

Stacy Nash's bonus pattern that I've called Gingerbread Houses. I finished this on the 27th of January. The big house on the right was not bad at all! It's just lovely! My plan is to finish it as a pillow with either pompom or chenille trim the same color as the floss which was WDW Parchment. I forgot to include what's left of the floss...1 strand! This design took almost the whole skein. 

Next up is the ornament SAL that Carol leads...

I finished the moose at the top right. I measured them for round sticky board and it'll take 4" rounds. They'll be kind of big. I have a 4 ft green Christmas tree, artificial of course, that I'd like to hang these on. I have another moose finish that is from a JCS Christmas ornament mag that I will add to the tree. I might stitch a couple more to fill the tree.

WIPs 

Here we have A Bit of Spring by BBD...

I've added the F, G, T, and the Y. I'd like to be done this month but there's a lot to the letters. 

Next is...

A Victorian Christmas by Samplers and Stitches. Just last night alone while watching flosstubes I stitched in the tree and its pot (ghosty) on the right. It needs hanging flowers now in red. Maybe I can finish this before the 28th which is just 12 days away🫣

Last but not least is my foray back into Halloween! I missed it, lol...

He's coming right along! I'm just moseying along through my WIPs and decided to see if I could finish him. It's close!

Because I got Meowt out, I want to start this chart...

So gorgeous 😍 I could graph 1776-2026 in there somewhere to be my 250 year celebration sampler.

Lately I've been signing up for Patreon accounts. I'm with Hello From Liz Mathews already but jumped on the HOD Christmas ornament Patreon; for tier 1. I'm sure you all have seen the first ornament...

So pretty. I signed up in November for an autoshjp from Barefoot Needleworks? Not sure if that's their name. The autoship is for a new series of charts from Country Cottage Needleworks. Here they are...

I am missing one. The 4th chart is on its way soon. Because I finished Frosty Forest a couple years ago, I'd like to stitch another series onto one piece and these charts are it! Oh here's that lost chart...

I also might stitch this instead for March...

This would be the 4th in the series of White Christmas by HOD. I have 3 stitched already. We shall see🤔

So the 29th of January was my bday. My boss gave me a Visa debit card and I promptly spent it at Primrose Cottage!...

The Toadstool Stitches chart I found on a stash selling site. It was an exclusive to their Sip and Stitch mystery boxes.

I'm feathering my nest, folks! When I move I'll have to clamp down on spending. 

I'm just about done! On March 6th, I have to drive down to Phoenix to see a doctor. Back in January, I ended up with a pain in my gut, front side, and my gut would just swell up. It hurt and I couldn't sleep on my right side or flat on my back because of it. I don't know about your area but around here doc appointments are far out! When the receptionist said March, I thought in my head Well I could be dead by then! When the pain began, I read that soda pop with its carbonation could create bloat in your stomach. So could swallowing air🤷🏻‍♀️ so I lowered my soda intake down to 2 12 oz bottles of Coke Zero a week and started drinking a fiber powder and water drink at night before bed. It has helped as I can now sleep on my right but whatever it is, it's still there. It also leaves me with back soreness on that side. I have sciatica on my left side and my right side has never ached before like it's doing now. My mother died at 49 years of age with renal carcinoma so it's best I get this thing checked.

I believe I'm done. Thanks for your comments last post. Honeybee, I tried to comment on your post from today. I just wanted to say that I agree, stitchy blogs have a place on the net judging by those of us still hanging on!😂

Take care everyone! I'll leave you with this to peruse 👇🏼👇🏼

Lost and found

Helloooo! I haven't really been lost, just sick, again! This time around I lost my sense of smell and nearly taste. A week later, I can now smell again but things taste strange🤷🏻‍♀️ lots of congestion still.

It's been a weird winter and January! For once this month has flown by. Probably because I wasn't looking!🫣

However, I have been stitching, so let's look at that!

I started out the year stitching 4 projects, 1 new start and 3 WIPs, and 2 are now a finishes. I joined Stitching Dreams Carol and her 12 ornaments SAL and finished Christmas Eve, from a JCS ornament issue. I don't have the date of that magazine but if you'd like to know, let me know in the comments.

All the colors are darker than IRL. I used a 40ct linen from Heartstrings Samplery during Jingle Ball. I like to look for unique colored fabric from the designers shops. This fabric was for one of her designs. It's similar to Chives from GAST. One down and 11 more to go. I don't have February's picked out yet but I have one in mind.

Next are my WIPs. Martha Richardson is a finish!!!

I'm not sure of the name of my fabric but it's 36ct and definitely a PTP. Isn't she something?! That mansion is H U G E! I saw someone talking about this sampler and she thought that's a lake with a sailboat on it. It does look like a sailboat. Below that is the large wreath stitched in Otter Creek by GAST which is now my favorite color. If you look at it under good light, there are dk greens, med greens, and what I thought was blue. When I first looked at this chart, I thought the wreath was just a bunch of stitches but no, there are flowers on the top and bottom. I love it! It's an adaptation of an antique and adapted for Needlework Press. 

The next WIP is A Bit of Spring by BBD and in their Ooh La La book...

I finally turned the corner at top right and could cut off the extra fabric getting in my way! Sorry for the wonky-ness. On 36ct Patriot's Brew by R & R. I think I'm going to carry this into February, this and the next piece...

The bonus pattern from Stacy Nash. I wish I could get the correct color of the fabric😕 anyway, I'm stitching on this to the end of this month as long as my WDW Parchment floss lasts! It's coming along nicely. Only thing is I wished I had done a better job placing it on the fabric. That tall house on the right threw me off so I started in the middle. I could've had some extra fabric to start something else on. Oh well!🙂

I'm liking this little plan I have to work on the Christmas ornament and then stitching on WIPs. For finishing the 2 pieces, I'm going to have a new start in February besides the ornament and it's also from the Ooh La La book by BBD.

Stay tuned!

That's it for the stitching. I may have had more to talk about but I can't remember!😂the brain fog is real, folks!

The sun is shining but it's about 43 degrees out. Nowhere near what those of you out East are dealing with. Here's to keeping warm and safe and with stitching on your lap!

See you in February🙋🏻‍♀️

2025 Re-cap and more

Hi everyone! Welcome to my annual re-cap of the doings on my blog. BTW, on the 21st, I celebrated 15 years of blogging. Sometimes I think I'm going to stop but then change my mind. I don't know about other stitchy bloggers but I like to go back into mine to read through the years of what I was stitching. So you're all stuck with me!!

Today before I do the update I'll show what I've been stitching and I even have 3 FFOs. After the update, I'll talk about my plans. So grab a drink and get comfy!

On Black Friday, I started Christmas Carol Sampler by the Primitive Hare. I've picked it up in the month since and have some progress...

I have now gone past the halfway point at the top border. I want to get that top border done and then drop down to go backwards. Mostly, I stitch left to right. Even on 36ct, she'll still be a good size.

I also had a Christmas day start. That's the Santa's Coming to Town sewing roll by Stacy Nash...

Stitched on the called for fabric of 36ct Aspen by WDW, I tracked it down and found this fat quarter on JensStitchingNiche on Etsy, the last one in stock. I'm using mostly the called for floss but I have some subs for the WDW floss of other over dyed floss companies. I nearly have the roof finished and that's taken me the entire time since Christmas day! Lots of filling in of that background color which is WDW Dirt Road. One of my substitutions I wasn't crazy about is the color of the reindeer and the sled bottom, that dark color. It's WDW Chesapeake which I thought was a very dark blue but it's actually very dark green. The DMC sub is what I used and that's DMC 500. I'm still not crazy about it but in Stacy Nash's infinite wisdom, she thought it was a good color! So I'm sticking with it. It's used further down on the trim of the windows. 

For the rest of the pattern, she says to use 2 over 2 for all the snow and on the sides of the house; I can't do that!😁 I am a 1 over 2 stitcher on 36ct🤷🏻‍♀️ That's it for my Christmas start.

I have a bit of progress on my Gingerbread Man bonus pattern, this is how it should look...

 And here's mine. My fabric IRL looks like that of the model. I have stitched in more of that tall skinny house on the left. After I press publish, I'll get back to stitching on this until midnight where I'll start my new start.

Carol, I'm joining you on your 12 Christmas ornaments SAL in 2026, and here's what I have planned...

The fabric is 40ct. The called for count is 36 but I thought the measurements could afford to be tweaked a bit. I'll start this at midnight.

Why am I joining a Christmas ornament SAL? Because here in the next 4 days, I'm off and I'll have time to FFO a few more Christmas ornaments that I have. Carol's SAL will keep me in ornaments for next year.

Btw, you could probably start a drinking game with how many times 'Christmas' appears here on this blog!

What's next? My FFOs!

😍😍😍 They're wonderful and they make a good size for display. On the left is O Tannenbaum by Pineberry Lane Designs. I believe she's on 36ct Cocoa by WDW. Stuffed with sawdust and a black pin holding the bell in the corner. I tend to subscribe to 'less is more'. On the right is, ahem, Christmas Alphabet by the Scarlett House. On 36ct WDW Grey. I stuck 2 red and 1 green pin into this. The picture is not great because it's gloomy out...

I'm at the library.

The 3rd FFO I have is Soot-y Santa by Notforgotten Farm...

Yes, it's a flat ornament, and yes I managed to find a piece of sticky board in my craft/bedroom to fit him on. On top of the chimney and on his tree is Kreinik silver braid. It was easy going until the last bit of the tree and then things got awkward! I'm not a fan of Kreinik but it's all I had. I trimmed him with that pretty faux pom pom and attached a rusty bell at the bottom.

The backing fabric is a favorite but I now have just a small piece left.

Surprise! I have a finish. This is Sweet Pleasure by October House Fiber Arts Designs...

Once again, a few subbed floss for this. I used 36ct Sheep's Straw by R & R. Measurements are 5" x 9". I will mount this on sticky board and set it on a easel display on my kitchen counter.

Carol, I laughed about your comment on pie making! I'm right there with you. I once made, or tried to make, a Pecan Pie. It was a disaster. It was best eaten with a spoon!

Now's a good time to mention the Great Sweetened Dry Cranberries Search! So, 1 of the gifts to a coworker, my daughter and SO, and their roommate was a mini loaf of Cranberry Pumpkin bread. Sweet breads are what I can bake and they turn out great. I waited until the 23rd to buy the cranberries. My favorite store...nope. The Veggie Man said they didn't have dry, fresh, or even frozen cranberries in the store due to problems at a warehouse, wherever that's at. He also said Safeway was probably going to be out too. I went anyway! Nope...the guy says I might have luck at Trader Joe's. We also have a Sprouts here so I went there. Not a cranberry in sight. So off to Trader Joe's where I managed to find dry cranberries but Unsweetened cranberries! What the heck, maybe they'll be find. My coworker is 79 and has some chronic health issues so I thought the less sweet the better. I made her own loaf with the unsweetened. Now I had to think of how to sweeten those cranberries. Voila! Simple Syrup! I had to Google that, lol. One part water to one part sugar. I thought 1 cup sugar to 1 cup of water would do it. Boll it then pour over the cranberries and let them soak. I soaked them for an hour and then baked the loaves. According to the gifteees, the bread was delicious! The recipe is found at Libbys. Whew!

Update time!

I started out the year doing my 61Bday SAL. I was turning 61 and thought it would be fun to start 61 pieces. The previous year I had worked on almost all WIPs. I started 17 projects and actually finished 9 of them. I stopped in May to stitch an exchange piece and had too much fun starting things and WIP-ping after that. I never went back. 

All those starts didn't do too much damage as I'm left with 23 WIPs on this last day of 2025. 

Finishes I had 22, including those SAL finishes. Not bad.

As for reading books... just one🫤 the same book I started the year out with and I'm only a little past the halfway point. I used to be a voracious book reader. On Goodreads, I'd join the challenge and read 15 to 20 books. Now I can't get through 1! It's stitching, it's taken over, lol!

Plans for 2026! Finish that book!!

I am all over the place with stitching 2026. At first I was joining WIPGO, then Christmas WIPGO, and now no WIPGO! I did pull out a couple WIPs to work on though, and these are...

Martha! She's so small! I'll take a week in between my ornament stitching to get some progress going. The other is...

The Noel Sampler by WTN&T. I've seen this on so many flosstubes that I thought I should just get back to it. I may even add another old WIP to my month so I'll have 3 WIPs to stitch each week and the ornament SAL the other week. 

Sounds like a winner!

Thanks as always for commenting, thanks for joining me this year for my stitching adventures. I'm coming up on 62 years in January. I don't think I'm retiring just yet. I may hold out to 65 but we'll see.

Take care and see you in 2026!

Many wishes for health and happiness and lots of stitching!🎊🎉🤗
