Wow that was an amazing weekend. Stitchers are kind people full of love for one another. I’m enjoying my May the Floss Be With You needle minder. The strongest magnets I’ve ever had on a needle minder. Take care and good luck as you enter the hardest part of the school year.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you! So glad you got it! ❤️

You are such a doll! We don't mind, you do you. You had s busy time and I'm just amazed you made time to FT. I'd love that strength & dignity chart! I'm way behind on watching as I'm caregiving a 97 year old 48 hours. 57 this week, crazy for an almost 69 year old!!❤

I loved your video. You are so enthusiastic. I’m really tired tonight and didn’t feel like stitching but hearing about the retreat and how much fun you had kept me going. Because of that, the project I’m working on is almost finished. Thanks for sharing all the cool haul. I also love that you are teaching your students to stitch. Everyone has been so generous donating to your kiddos. It’s wonderful to hear how excited they are when you bring them new fabric, floss, and patterns. Have a great two weeks!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch me. My students are so excited by everything. One girl said I was killing her when she saw everything because now she was going to have to start something new and she already has 2 other things started. 😂

I just love your video! I enjoyed hearing about your retreat. It sounded like such fun.

[@BusyMagnaBee]

When I was a kid, we were taught to ride our bikes against the direction of traffic. I personally think this is much wiser as it allows the bicycle rider to SEE the oncoming traffic and the MOTOR VEHICLE operator to SEE that there is a human being on a bicycle. But, apparently our legislators are so much wiser than me and in many states the law says bicycles are to travel in the same direction as vehicular traffic.
