reflections of a desert rat august 2012 reflections of a desert rat monday august 20 2012 a quick update well i haven t updated my blog here in a while because there just hasn t been anything to post i m still dealing with a lot of blurriness in my eye due to the surgery and it s really hard to stitch when you can only see out of one eye i m also having fine depth perception issues and that makes it hard to even thread a needle so my stitching has been at a standstill lately but i really wanted to work on the baby sampler for my son and his wife so i decided today was the day it is on 14ct aida cloth and that s okay with me sure i d love to be stitching on linen but right now i ll take what i can get so here it is doesn t look like much for several hours of stitching but i feel good about it posted by bette at 2 01 pm 4 comments tuesday august 14 2012 it s just too hot i ve been in a little bit of a stitching slump heck i haven t even done any mindless knitting lately the temperatures have broken all kinds of records here in phoenix i get in my car to drive home and the thermometer reads anywhere from 115 to 118 that s just too hot i so want to work on the baby sampler and blanket for my new grandbaby but just haven t found the energy it doesn t help that my recovery from my second eye surgery has been slower than the first let s hope for a break in the weather cause i want to get back to stitching posted by bette at 8 11 am 3 comments thursday august 2 2012 what to do with leftovers this is a very interesting subject for a blog hop i ll be very interested in seeing what others do with their leftovers from a project what do you do with the floss thread beads and other elements you have left over from full project kits i don t often use kits not because i dislike the idea of kits it s just that i have enough charts and patterns to keep me busy forever but i do have a fair amount of them okay i have a lot of them i ll admit it if i like the design i ll get the kit simple as that and i use all the elements in the kit i m basically cheap and hate the idea of wasting the fabric and the floss but the leftovers i have to be honest i don t save the leftover floss i just add it to my ort ball that i ve had since 1992 wow that s over 20 years ago if it s a mill hill kit i ll sort any leftover beads and store them for later use other beads just stay in their little bags and get stuck in a drawer somewhere i usually just toss the needles by the time i m done with them they re unusable visit all the blogs in this round of the stitching the
