You take a sewing project on a journey, then realise you are driving. Instead of counting your free time in hours & minutes, you count it in threads. You decorate, you don't choose the colours from a paint chart, but from the DMC thread rack instead! You don't buy name tags to sew into your children's clothes, you cross stitch their names in! You hear people talking about the fabric of the Universe and you wonder if it is Aida or evenweave? You have crossed stitched through Coronation Street so many times, you wonder if Hilda Ogden still has those ducks on her wall! The custodial staff arrives at work in the morning they have to remind you to go home and change clothes so your colleagues and boss do not know you spent the entire night at the office trying to do "just a few more rows". You buy a special large suitcase to hold all of your thread, fabric, kits and magazines etc so you can take them everywhere you go.Your favourite opera is Aida! You spend $800 on...

Here is my work of Sanman Originals - Cast A Spell. I still have alot to go.

Here is my HAED QS Girly Gothic. I have done alot of the side. I love doing this but sooooooo hate the confetti.

Friendship Among Women: A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband that she had slept over at a girlfriend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. Not one of them knew anything about it. Friendship Among Men: A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he had slept over at a buddy's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had slept over, and two claimed that he was still there.

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."And that's when the fight started.... ------------------------------------------------------------ I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?" It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation."Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?" And that's when the fight started.... ----------------------------------------------------------- Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out in...

I have been doing some cross stitch on HAED QS Girly Gothic and also a Sanman chart. I will take pics today and add them on here. I can't wait till i can finish my HAED which i have been doing for over 2 years now. I know, i know.... i should have finished it by now. I so hate doing the confetti on it :(.

We had Daylight savings over the weekend, where we put our clocks back, getting an extra hour's sleep. I didn't get that :( I forgot to put my clocks back. I woke up at 8.30 thinking it was 8.30 but it was 7.30 grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Daylight Savings screws with your head lol. This morning the sun was shining at 6.30am. Then i went back to sleep only to wake up 10 mins later thinking it was 7.30am but nooooooooooooo it was only 6.40am. Was waking every 10 mins thinking it was time to get up.
