Thirty Years!

We are celebrating our thirtieth anniversary today.  

With my parents, God bless them  

We were living in Nashville and it was 110 degrees the day we got married.  

It was so hot, you couldn't stand on black top with your shoes on!

He understands my cross stitch obsession....has from the beginning.

What a guy!

Hope the next thirty are as wonderful!

Have my thread and fabric 40 count Flax Newcastle for Sarah Braizear 1829

Just have to make the leap.

Trying to decide if I should start with some of the border or in the middle.  

Usually I start in the middle but, it may be better to start in a corner.  

People are doing it both ways.

While I was noodling around in the sewing room last week, deciding to put all the kitted projects together, I found this.  

I always say this but, I just love this and may have to start it much sooner than later.  

Next weekend is the annual girls weekend.

Usually we scrapbook and have other craft projects but,  MaryBeth kind of put the cabash on the scrap booking by deciding to have a collage of the pictures made.

I enjoy the scrap booking but, its okay.  

I don't know if Jan is going to bring a project or not.  

I have one to share but, I figure, I just might make this my weekend project.  

I will get it started a little before I go.  

They are planning on staying to Monday but, I can't with the time I missed and a maternity leave.  

I was going to do it in the DMC called for.

But, I pulled some overdyes using a conversion list and have decided to do it in Weeks Sanquine, and Tiger's Eye,  GAST:  Country Redwood, Harvest Basket, Soot and Walnut.  

It should be fun and quick.  

Adam and Eves are one of the things I collect.  

I have been working on La D Da Margaret Cottam and making progress.  

I love doing this!

I love Penzey Spices and follow Bill Penzey on FB.  

I just got the free set, just had to pay for shipping.  

Their spices/herbs and blends are just so wonderful and there are a lot of salt-free options.

Since the health issues started, I think salt adversely effects me.  

Trying to make a conscious effort to be reduced salt.  

Watching the labels and choosing less sodium options and substituting  with the blends, I think will help.  

The salsa/pico seasoning is salt free too.  

The pin says "Embrace Hope" , I'm all about that.  

There were also some suggestion cards on using the seasoning.  

Going back to work tomorrow.

Hope you had a great weekend and have a wonderful week.  

Keep on Stitching.
