Leap Day!
Creativity is like fire; when the fire of creativity is burning, it is easy to keep it going, when it isn’t burning, it is hard to get the fire started. Right now, I am on fire. Which means I have to work to keep from jumping around to different fires, I do better if I [...]

Progress?
As promised, here are my progress pictures, on an as-yet-undisclosed design. This is what it looked like on Saturday night: And this is what it looked like on Sunday night: No, the pictures aren’t reversed. I was stitching along and decided I just did not like the way the colors looked or worked together. So [...]

Which way?
There’s lots of things to see and do in Houston: which way do you want to go? We ended up at the Contemporary Arts Museum this weekend. They have a very cool exhibit going on called “Design Life Now” which is about the convergence of design and art. There were things like a display of [...]

Stitches on a plane
There’s nothing like uninhibited sunlight for stitching. One of the best places to find uninhibited sunlight is on an airplane: Of course, stitching on a plane has its own problems: large scroll bars would hit people in other seats or the drink cart, embroidery scissors may or may not go through screening (lately I’ve been [...]

On the road home
I have been on the road unexpectedly, travelling for a funeral. It was good to see family again, although we all wish it was under less sad circumstances. I’m ready to be home again since I wasn’t able to get enough stitching done. What is the saying about getting things done today? It is quite [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is good for the heart! Hope everyone is having a good one. DH and I will go out for dinner this evening, but don’t otherwise make a big deal out of Valentine’s day. We’re both cutting back on sweets for Lent, so no candy this year (yay). I’m getting so excited about the [...]

One or Two?
After a busy weekend, I settled into the Monday routine with one exception, I went to get my eyes checked. My optomitrist is on the outskirts of town, so this is always an excursion. They’re also not open on the weekend, so it also takes up a whole afternoon. I was having trouble reading the [...]

Now with pictures!
I’m still full from Sunday! Here’s a sample of the treats that tempted us at the Superbowl party: (The gummie bears were my downfall) Also, there was Texas beer: Finally, the banana pudding that absolutely did me in: Other than Superbowl recovery, it has been a fairly busy week. I have done some designing (yay) [...]

Enjoying the Superbowl
For the past couple of years, Superbowl Sunday, and indeed the whole weekend, has been a crazy weekend. Part of this is because Nashville Market is always held on the weekend after the Superbowl, and part is because we always seem to host a Superbowl Party. The combination of these events meant that I had [...]

Randomness
I don’t really have a specific topic today, but a bunch of seemingly unrelated things to write about. However, they are all related in the sense that they pertain to Cross Eyed Kat stuff. I was quite busy yesterday – I dropped off the new charts at UPS for shipment to the distributor. Sixteen pounds [...]
