    I am so thankful to have found cross stitch and flosstube. Now I get to visit my friends every time they post and feel like we are catching up. That may mean I need to start making videos so that our convos stop being so one sided lol! Congrats on your beautifully framed pieces. So great.🎉

    Hey stitchy friend. I was so happy to see you pop up today. I love your finishes wrinkles and all. I have baseball on right now i guess we are in the wild card playoffs so getting an afternoon game in the middle of the day is awsome. My seahawks were on last night monday night football and of course they got womped on wouldn't you know it. So we are 3 and 1 buts its early i know. I love this time of the year. We had a 32 degree morning today but back up to the 80 no rain here in Mt still some fires around. Been nasty air quality this year too. I didnt know you were in a wheel chair i was saddened to here that friend. You always have such an up beat personality. And yes as some others have stated its nice to have people like you to share this passion with especially one who shows artwork thats so outside the box of norm. Im not going to use that tricky word cause i dont need the gift but i will tell you I'm greatful that you are here. And am dying to see you get that owl done cause that is my most favorite and it looks like its stitching up awsome. But where is the girl on yellow ? Its a favorite and beautiful and she'd look awsome behind you for october 😂❤.

      @@KrisMccann-m1l I watched your seahawks and was bummed they lost. Gino is a good story of redemption. My steelers lost this week too. Sorry, but Beetle pop is hanging in a different room. Sorry to hear you are still dealing with fires, I know how bad the air quality gets, been through a couple fires myself, hope you get a break soon. Don't be sad for me, I walked decades longer than any doctor thought I would and have had a good life, others have been less fortunate than me. Take care and talk to you again, Kris

    first of all, congratulations on the "four seasons" finish! I have really enjoyed watching you work on this over the past year. I honestly thought you were being a bit over optimistic for a finish by the end of the year. (Your needles have been on FIRE!)
    The way my rotation is structured doesn't really allow for much in the way of seasonal or themed SALs or Bingo Board challenges. So I'm over here working on the background of the Mead Dragon, which I swear has every navy, charcoal grey and dark blue shade that DMC makes LOL! That's dark enough for me.
