post-birthday

My birthday dinner was great! We had a nice (early) dinner at Pizza Hut. I know, of all places, but I love their pizza and it was better to go there than to Olive Garden with an hour wait for a table on a school night. Besides, we went to Olive Garden last weekend! :)

And to catch up on stitching news, what little there is....
I spent a while frogging out backstitching. (Wrong color there!) I printed off the pattern in black and white and it dawned on me that I hadn't really looked at the color key. And there it was, I had done it all in the wrong color! So it's all caught up and then some, this time in the right color. So no happy dance yet.

and this weeks SBQ

Do you dream of running your own LNS/ONS? If so, tell us about your
dream. If not, tell us about your cross stitch dream… maybe you dream
of designing, dyeing your own floss or fabric, etc.
Why yes I have! A very misty, distant dream. I picture myself designing more then having a shop. I could focus on what I would like to stitch/see stitched and market myself to shops and maybe even magazines.
The only other way of doing it around here would be through online selling. There just isn't enough people around here to make it break even. So if my designs became popular enough I would probably offer some for purchase online directly through me.
But again, this is a foggy, distant dream.
Who knows.
