Oey.
But, before you cry for me, Argentina...behold! Progress, joy, and fun fun fun:
I managed to complete another two sections of my Wendy Moore class yesterday and stay true to my plan to enjoy this piece each Sunday.
(Cue the gold star, please.)
In the midst of drinking lots of water and taking lots of naps, I have been thinking about several stitchy-related things. Some involve just me...like whether or not I want to try a rotation system next year. Some involve you...like whether or not you would enjoy/participate in/or be completely offended by a Spinster Stitcher marketplace.
Next year will mark the ten year anniversary of this here blog, so I am thinking about doing a few things to celebrate that. One idea I had was to publish the blog into a book. Another idea was to offer several different things for sale with sayings on them relative to this thing of ours and using the proceeds for a Stitcher's Fund (or maybe donating them to an animal rescue org). The final thing on my list (which is actually the first thing I will complete, ironically) is a thank you gift. I got the final piece of that puzzle completed today, so my hope is that those will be ready to fly by year's end.
Who says laying in the big girl sleigh bed is a waste of time?
So, stay tuned please, and if you feel any certain way about any of the above...all opinions are welcome and will be carefully considered.
(Yes...even yours, Betty.)
Rich is home from the Martin's with dinner provisions and peppermint ice cream. He stayed here to watch over me today, bless his little heart, so now he's going to fuss over me like a mother hen to make sure I stay hydrated and well fed. I really don't know what I'd do without him.
Happy Monday, one and all! I hope your corner of the world is completely swell and that you'll come tell me all about it!
I'm excited about all of the above! Well, except for the part about Mr. Crown :(. Hopefully he won't hang around long
ReplyDeleteI would love to order from your Marketplace and buy your book!!! You are more talented than many authors out there now!! Hope you get to feeling better!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh I would definitely order from your marketplace and buy your book! Both would be absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself and feel better!
Many good ideas!! I wait with bated breath. First, however, take care of you ☺
ReplyDeleteI love that you cling to your ambitions and share them....
ReplyDeleteExcited about your proposed marketplace...curiosity is peaked by the "thank you" aspect. Above all, I am so
delighted that Rich is by your side keeping you hydrated,
nourished and watching over you. What a guy~
Yum, peppermint ice cream. I do hope you are feeling better and have kicked Mr. Crohn to the curb. I look forward to what you have in store for 2018, Coni.
ReplyDeleteConi, Lots of great ideas! I particularly am intrigued by your Marketplace. Hope you feel better soon! I am happy that you have Rich there to help and give love and support. :)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
Yay! Onward with these wonderful ideas!!
ReplyDeleteConi, God bless you with all good and God bless Rich for being with you and taking such good care of you because you are precious to more people than you know. Love, hugs & prayers, Cathryn ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteYour ideas are wonderful, especially the donation to an Animal Shelter....in honor of Stewey. He would be thrilled. Also, there is a facebook group called Stash Unload. It is strictly for selling stash - anything stitching related. There are over TWELVE THOUSAND members. It is easy as long as you follow the rules. They are posted, so take a look. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! I am glad to see that you are using your down time to plan out future projects and tasks.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to Rich for taking care of you!
I hope you recover very quickly. I agree, thank goodness for Rich, he's your angel. I like your ideas for next year and have no additional thoughts percolating to contribute.
ReplyDeleteI would be very interested if you had cross stitch charts for sale on your blog, provided you would be willing to post to the UK. Hope you feel better soon, have a great day.
ReplyDeleteAll of it sounds wonderful Connie! Considering your situation with medical expenses though, I think it would be just fine if you kept the proceeds of whatever you sell for that. :)
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful ideas. Can't wait. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds most intriguing my dear...oh the mind boggles!
ReplyDeleteHope the Crohns goes away soon...feel better! xo Mj
I would be first in line for your book. All the ideas sound great. Rest up and be fussed over... you deserve it xx
ReplyDeleteConi, I am thrilled that you are "finding your way" through the thick fog!! Hoping your Crohn's settles down. I think the Marketplace sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDebbie in Kansas
All of your ideas sound great! Go for it!
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know better I would think that Stewey came back in the human form of Rich-at the very least I do think Stewey sent him to you. You are so blessed.
ReplyDeleteLove your ideas would love to purchase one of your pieces! I thought Rich was staying at your home. Is he in Indiana permanently?
ReplyDeleteRuth in Oxnard CA. <~~~~ and nosey
Hello, dear Ruth! Yes, Rich is here. I meant that he stayed home from work to watch over me....instead of going to the office.
Delete(And you can be as nosey as you want any time you want, Dearie!)
You're a busy lady when not feeling up to snuff. All of your ideas sound interesting and exciting. I can't wait to see what transpires. I agree with Violet Stitches about you keeping the proceeds to use for your expenses.
ReplyDeleteBook! And a coffee mug to go with it!!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, peppermint ice cream. Hope you feel better soon, Coni.
ReplyDeleteI would just adore a spinster stitcher marketplace!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love a Spinster Stitcher Marketplace!! Tell me more, tell me more! :)
