  3. What wonderful shopping you have done. Is that Auriful wool thread? I’ve heard that is just dreamy to work with. By the time I was ready to try some, my shop stopped carrying it. I should order some from Karen.

  7. Hey Stina! So pleased spring is starting to creep closer for you – it will take you a little while to thaw out after such a cold, snowy winter! And what better way to cheer up in time for spring than to SHOP!! Tee! Hee! Hee! Your book looks like it would be great just to look at, not to mention the hours of stitching fun you’ll have. Can’t wait to see what you create – carefully to protect your poor recovering finger! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS

  9. Love your blog! Your “strangest day” story was very interesting. Once, about 20 years ago, my husband and I were driving home on the highway, when I got a bad feeling that something was going to go wrong. I told him about it and asked him to be extra careful. He was like, OK… Within a quarter of a mile our timing belt broke and the car died at the side of the road. Now he thinks I’m psychic. It *does* happen to people occasionally. 8)Happy stitching,Susanhttp://www.susanintexas.blogspot.comgentle_poster@charter.net
