A busy life = less stitching time
A brief look at July and August:
The Tour de France was most of July and finished with TdF cupcakes:
We had a bunch of company in late July to mid August, which meant I did far less stitching that I usually like. However, I did get to see “The Phantom of the Opera” (again).
I went [...]

In which not much stitching is done, but charts are made ready
I haven’t really stitched much since the weekend and I think my fingers are getting itchy! I have spent the time since the online show doing the production work to create chart files and then printing, printing, printing! Over 200 charts had to be printed – that’s the downside of print on demand.
I [...]

A more detailed Tour of Missouri, then more cross stitch
While escaping from Hurricane Ike, DH and I found in Missouri a cosmic collision of bicycling and cross-stitch. How often does a professional bicycling race coincide with a TNNA trade show? Ok, there’s a chance it might happen every year now, but since this was only the second year of the Tour of [...]

Evacuation Vacation
It has been quite busy lately around the Cross Eyed Kat lair. First, there was all the prep work to do for the St. Charles Market aka the Fall Needlework Market. Once I got everything to this state, I still had to do the printing. This was a bit tricky as I [...]

Tour de Georgia, part deux
The last day of the Tour de Georgia was a circuit race in downtown Atlanta, meaning that the bikers went on a six mile loop through downtown Atlanta for ten laps. Do the math and that makes a sixty mile race where you get to see the bikers go by ten times! Awesome!
It [...]

T-minus 7 days and counting
Seven days until I leave for the NeedleArts Market in Columbus, OH. This is supposed to be the big tradeshow of the year; it is held in a convention center and brings cross stitch, needlepoint and yarn together as well as anything else that might be used in those pursuits. I’m not sure [...]

Spoke too soon, plus Whoa!
Ok, I spoke too soon about getting better. My “virus” has definitely morphed into something sinusy and nasty – meaning I’ve have talked funny for several days, now have a lovely cough and have been generally getting by with Tylenol cold medicine plus cough drops. Therefore, I haven’t had a chance to upload [...]

Mostly well
I think I have moved from being virus-sick to allergy sick. My fever has abated, but my throat is all yucky. Anyway, my apologies to the nice lady from Colorado who spent 11 hours in a seat next to me on the flight from Munich to Denver – I hope you didn’t catch [...]

Here, but not all here
Hello out there! I am back, but I am sick.
Long story short, DH and I went to Atlanta to see the Tour De Georgia (awesome), then I flew off to Germany while he came home to rescue Mocha (nothing was really wrong with Mocha, she was just being boarded). I visited my brother [...]

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 [...]
