blogging

I have changed a bit (you may have/have not noticed) of the side bar. I needed to add a few more bloglinks and rename some that had different titles. As before they are not in any particular order (fib, I alphabetized them by the first letter of the link as in http://a, then http://b, and so on) because the links tend not to change as much whereas the titles of blogs do.

And I am in need of a new title myself. Not sure what I will come up with, since I haven't the foggiest idea at this point. But with the season as it is right now, (hot, humid and busy) I am not getting as many comments or hits as I was. But I also haven't been stitching either. (thank you arm troubles)

Usually , well I should say up until last summer, I never stitched during the summer. It is too hot and I tend to change my activities. I am more apt to be out or up later with the kids. I like to stitch at night when there are fewer distractions. And usually by mid to late summer the goldenrod is out which means the ragweed is in full blown action . So I spent every waking moment with sinus headaches, sneezing and using tissues at an alarming rate. What happened last year you ask? Claritin OTC happened. Made for a much more enjoyable summer. I wasn't holed up in the a/c looking for relief of any kind. I was out and about and it was great!

The point to this - you are probably wondering- is that I may be able to get a few Christmas presents stitched up in time this year. I always get the urge to start them about 3 weeks before the holiday in prime flu and cold season on top of the holiday chaos. Here's hoping for a smooth and well planned homemade present season. wish me luck!
