Wednesday

Tonight is my first class, and I am a bit nervous. I am sure it will go fine, and I will survive. I did not go to the Samaritans meeting last night, I was feeling a bit worn down and needed to rest. Today I got my bookbag ready for tonight, which John thought was very cute. Thank God that man thinks I am cute, I don't know what I would do without him. I skipped Ellen today, and slept late. It was way too cold for me to go outside. I have to go next week though, I don't want her to think that I have given up on seeing her. In the stitching department, I am about 3/4 done with Mom and Dad's sampler. I would really like to have it ready by tomorrow so that I can give it to Monika for framing, but I am not sure if that will happen. I still have to graft the initials and dates, which I am very slow at doing. Hopefully I will have it done by the weekend though, and that will make 4 finishes for the year so far. I really think this will be a good year for a lot of things, stitching included!

Rainy Day

It is dark and rainy out today, what a good day to visit the dentist. John and I went together, which is always nice because we get to spend time together :) Now I am alone with Gizmo, looking for things to do. I could go buy my books for school, but that would mean leaving the house. I could go and join the YMCA, but that would mean leaving the house. I could stitch. That sounds much better than the first two options. :) I sold 3 things on ebay this weekend, which was a fun thing for me. I will get the hang of it over time, and it will help deplete my stash. I keep thinking about how many craft items Grandma had when she passed away. I have at least 3 times as much stuff, and I have to do something with it before too much time passes. I am no longer hanging onto patterns when I am done stitching them. The odds of restitching many of my patterns are so low that it is best to either put them on ebay and hope they sell or just gift them to someone who will enjoy them.
