    Diet Coke + straw: Bend the tab back over the opening and stick the straw though the small hole. Straw will stay in place. 🥰

    OMG! I almost end peed my pants when Laura found out Brenda doesn’t keep track of her fabric used! 🤣😂🤣😂 To Brenda’s credit she does remember a lot of the fabrics she uses. I understand being overwhelmed, there just isn’t enough time in the day and even when you retire there still won’t be enough hours in the day! Happy stitching Ladies, love all your projects, wips, finishes. Hope to see you again soon!

What's happening in the universe?! 😂 Brenda, I love how your Florence Mary Dickinson piece is coming along. I've been waffling about getting that for so long now. I'm off to Hobby House to see if any charts are left. Hope you are both enjoying whatever it is you'll be stitching on in the next few weeks! Be well!

And I agree with Laura…..we DO want to know what fabrics you have used and will be using!!!! I love football and miss it this time of year. Our Longhorns are moving into the SEC and that should be a challenge!!!!! In the NFL, we are Chief fans because I love Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, an old Big 12 quarterback. It has been nice to see the Texans come alive this year. I’ll look forward to your next visit. I love your attitudes as expressed at the end of this video. This all brings us joy so it’s worth whatever we spend and whatever time we spend on it. Carol in Texas Aj

Your video brought so much joy to me. I will have to rewatch to soak up all the fabulous charts, linens and threads.

    Good to see you two again. It's May 1 today and snowing here in central Alberta (wet snow; we needed moisture so badly we're not even complaining!) Thanks for the mention of Mason Linen. I'd never tried it but Traditional Stitches is the vendor in this part of the world (maybe in all of Canada; I don't know), and they recently had a selection of Limited Edition linen from Mason. I scored a piece of 40 count; it came in the mail this week -- looks gorgeous! RE: Stitching from the bottom left: Caroline of Evertote does that most of the time. It would make me nervous too; I prefer to start in the top left. And...Lakeside. Yes, I know it's hard to find...but again, Traditional Stitches came through with a piece of 32 count Vintage Bisque for me in that same order (above) that I got last week. I'm going to use some of it for Jeannette Douglas' "Garden Box" smalls (I have my own antique sewing box for them; it was made by one of my grandmother's brothers a good 100 years ago or more). Definitely "Lakeside worthy", eh? 😊
