I'm definitely at a point in my life that the day to day reality won't change much, so find the simple small things to dwell and rejoice in are really important to me.

I just finished the August Cottage (there's a pic on an earlier blog post) - it was fun and quick. I admit, if I find a pattern I like, I look on eBay and etsy first to see if I can get a bargain, then 123stitch if I have to buy online. I usually buy my floss from the big box stores and limit myself to DMC. I really don't need another expensive hobby, and the specialty flosses get pricey. I did get my first cross stitch pattern after 20 years this spring from the SimpleSmart shop on etsy. Quick PDF download and a nice simple pattern to get back into cross stitch!<br /><br />Look forward to seeing what you decide to stitch! I found the floss tube videos on youtube also inspiring, useful, and enabling :)Laura Gesinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314265521270423826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3054050265833482541.post-45235002324939893582016-08-31T10:10:09.944-04:002016-08-31T10:10:09.944-04:00Your shawl is gorgeous!
