Well I pulled out the Gazelle again, three days in one week yikes I might be starting a routine. Except for the fact I ache. My arms shoulders neck, can we say its a aspirin moment. Which I know I need but can't seem to get up to get sigh.
Okay going to get aspirin and work on emmy.
Stitching Blogger's Question of the Week: "Stitching Blogger"
Thread organization: plastic bobbins, yes or no: How do you organize your floss?
I use floss bags, I tried the stitch bows its to bulky to carry that way, the bag's with the ring work much better IMHO. Used to only use bobbins but then I would need a small sponge as well as the Thread Heaven.
I just put each color in a bag write the number on the bag, and if its all ready pegged for a project the symbol as well.
I put all the bags that are for a particular project together on a ring, and the extras a separate ring, (that said I have a bunch still in a little bag that I need to get organized

I think I'm coming down with a cold either that or allergy season is already kicking my butt and me without my allegra.
Worked on Emmy once I actually took something for the cold/allergy symptoms so I could think a bit clearer.
Still working on organization, being such a pack rat I can't seem to throw a cross stitch, or crochet or knitting magazine away, 'cause I know I'll need it at some point, no idea when just know that I will need it.
Looking forward to getting past this hump so I can go to casperjacks and gets some stuff I hate not going to the LNS because of being broke, but with three hurricanes and loss of all perishables and the move its just a part of life, not for ever just now, and they say there is a tropical storm called Matthew on the way now, which probably won't be a problem here, but I don't think I can deal with anything besides your basic thunder storm at least not right now.
Okay nuff maudlin thought I'm off to stitch on Emmy,

Greetings,
Here is how its going in my little corner of Florida.
One the house is still standing, no thanks to Jeanne, Frances and Charlie, three hurricanes in a row, that like broke national hurricane records, but so far we're doing okay.
Went to mass last Sunday, with Robert, Father John gave a good homily as always, each time I go, I learn more, and am more awed by the power and importance of the Mass, each time I focus on the Eucharist I'm amazed and humbled by the gift the Father gives us and no I don't understand transubstantiation, I just believe its true.
Sometimes its hard to say I'm a Catholic Christian especially in the current age that seems to attack all things of faith, yes I know there have been people in the church that have done wrong.
But, there have been evil men, and men who had frailities that caused pain for others in all earthly institutions. I believe the church is here for a reason, and if we want it to last we have to hold on to truth and each other and pray for the Grace to continue on.
Still working on Emerald Mermaid by Mirabilia, its coming along slowly but coming.
Also back to exercising, finding it helps me get more done each day if I spend some time on the Gazelle.
Right now iI feel like stitching for a bit, will really try to write daily honest.

'nuff for now
Tal,
