Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I came to let you know I’m thinking of you right now and saw your message. Sitting with you through this and after. Big breaths is all you can do now. 💜💜💜
That cross stitch is very accurate as is utube. Have you tried the cross stitch fabric that has the squares rather than the very fine linen. I’ll find a pic and post it. 💜💜💜

Re: Taking the plunge
Hopefully you're through it by now @CheerBear and have time to unwind and percolate all the 'stuff' through before you have to get busy again. Thinking of you today xx
@Maggie didn't have any eggs so the french toast remains a virtual craving!

Re: Taking the plunge
It's done. My brain went bang and my mouth flew off a couple of times which I don't feel so good about now. I really tried to not let that happen but it was such a head vs wall thing that even my support coordinator was struggling. I walked away for a moment to calm which is one good job me thing maybe. Nothing I can do but wait now.
Thanks for your message @Maggie and @eth as yours just came through ❤ Grrr brain smash stuff 😖😑
I went to pick up the linen but thought it looked very hard @Maggie. I got 14ct aida in white (way too white for clumsy, coffee spilling, cat furred me 😉) so its good to know that I qm on thr right track so far. Keeping it white while I make it while be a challenge, but so far it's OK. Do tou wash yours when you've finished? I'll head back to house 2 in a moment (after coffee) and sit by the fire with my project. Very cold here right now.
How's the day going for you (all)? ❤

Re: Taking the plunge
That sounds really full on @eth. Hopefully you get some down time this afternoon. What a headache!
Hey @Former-Member 🙂 That's a great one. I have super magic powered shoes that sparkle and some of the sparkles are purple (and pink, blue, silver...) They help me stand strong 😊 I hope things are OK enough (or better) for you. Thanks for your message.
Heading out for a while. Leaving ☕ here for any/all 💜

Re: Taking the plunge
@eth the french toast this morning looked yummy. In fact it made me decide to make that for my real breakfast tomorrow.
@CheerBear 👍 Well done. Hope the results are favourable.
@Maggie Packing already? Good for you. Soon you and little Mags will have a new home to move into. Just wondering if she has already been approved as an Assistance Dog? My Holly is lounging around today, worn out from having her little doggie friend staying for three days.
@Former-Member @outlander hello beautiful people.
