Pastel Heart Sampler for January

   

I hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day with this teeny tiny Pastel Heart Sampler!  It will stitch up easily, and is released under my copyright for your personal stitching pleasure only.  Since the amounts of floss needed are small, you might use some of your prettiest leftover threads to make a quick present for someone special. 

Happy Stitching!

Peanut and her Binkie

     Peanut’s favorite binkie is her own tail!  It’s always handy, comfortably worn, and perfect to snuggle with before sleeping.  And Peanut sleeps a lot … seemingly all the time.   But if the refrigerator door opens, or someone makes an interesting, food-related noise, she’s instantly there.   She’s the  only cat not bothered by the camera.   The others will turn away from the lens, Peanut just stares it down.  We also call her  Bumpy because she’s always ramming her little round head into one’s legs to show her affection.

Late, but heartfelt link in honor of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

This is a late posting I know, but it’s posted in the spirit, not the letter of.   If I could, I would exist outside of all time.  I’m still not completely ready for last Christmas, which is not unusual, but the anticipation of Christmas is always with me.  The words of MLK Jr. and other wisdom-bearers are always with me also, bringing hope into our sorry, sorry world.

Problem with Box.net File sharing

01~20~12

Well, I’m not sure what happened today, but the Box.net widget is working again … and I did NOTHING to it because I had absolutely no time to.   Rather creepy, but at least it’s working.  It makes absolutely no sense to me, but because my designs are currently offered for free, I’m not as concerned as I would be if I were offering designs commercially.   Was it a Box.net glitch?  Did someone mess with my Box.net setting somehow?  The whole affair will be submitted to the great Box.net help people, so maybe I’ll get  an answer soon.

Remy

Hi Readers,

I “fixed” a problem  file in the Box.net SHARED FILES widget last night and just discovered that my Box.net file sharing widget is now showing up as being set to No Access!  I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m too tired to deal with it tonight and will deal with it tomorrow.  Apologies to anyone trying to access my shared files.

Welcome Sampler Freebie

Happy New 2012 Year!!   I’m about to make Giada DeLaurentis’  Panetone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce, so I’m posting this pattern before I start baking.  Giada’s wonderful pudding has been our New Year’s dessert since we first tried it.  We’ve gone Gluten Free in the last year, so I’ll be making a smaller pudding and a few changes like substituting Vanilla Almond Milk for the whole milk, and Stevia for the sugar.  I’ll also add in more dried fruit and a handful of small bittersweet chocolate pieces.  Here’s a link to her recipe:

Happy Stitching and the happiest of New Years!

UPDAKE!

Some recipes are much better in the original!  This is one of them.  The Almond Milk and Stevia were tasty, but overall this scrumptious pudding was dry.  Next time I make it I’ll stick to the recipe and take an extra dose of my Ultimate Lectin Defense by True Health.

   Here’s a happy little ornament to celebrate a friendship, or just about anything special!   This design celebrates my oldest friendship, formed on the very first day of high  school!  There’s a little eyelet stitch at the top for a thin ribbon to hang it with.  There are also some extra hearts on the left hand side of the chart, in case you’d prefer to do the hearts in cross stitch.  The design is under my copyright and for your personal stitching pleasure only … not for any commercial use.  

Happy Memories, Happy Stitching!
