Midlife Musings

Reflections on life from 40-something

I used to……..

March5

One of the hobbies I used to indulge in is embroidery. I’ve made several nice pieces, including a pillowcase doll for one of my step-daughters. I quit doing it for several reasons, but a lot of it had to do with being tired of all the flowers. Really, there’s just so much florality I can take. I found something today that has me thinking about picking up the floss again, though. It’s clipart ready to digitize for embroidery, and there is some really cool stuff there.

I also used to cross-stitch quite a bit, but I am just not sure I can see it anymore, and I am too chicken to dig it out and find out that I can’t. It’s all buried in the bottom of my closet. Perhaps when I get around to cleaning that out (and it shouldn’t be too much longer), I’ll try it. Then if I can’t do it, I can tell myself that I was just cleaning the closet anyway ;)

I have 6 of those floss organizing boxes, ya’ll, crammed absolutely full. That’s a lot of floss to just be sitting there.

    Wow, I don’t even have 6 boxes of floss! Though I have always been more of a fabric stasher than a floss stasher.

    We could just get you some 11 count aida to stitch on! LOL with the gigantic holes and big squares (giggle)

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
