Cross stitch, quilting, sudoku.......I have tried all of these stress relievers in the past month or so, and thye are quite effective, creating something or solving something without resorting to destruction of something just to make me feel better. Cleaning house can work too, unless I am having to pick up after every single other member of the household--in every room!!!
Unfortunately for me, I had already pretty well cleaned my house today when I had to deal with the cable again (see prior post), so I am now surfing the 'Net and getting ready to bathe so I can go to Fas Chek and get some meat for dinner--as well as a paper---my husband was interviewed about the nasty weather while shoveling snow at work yesterday, so I thought I would grab an issue of the local yellow rag. I usually peruse it online, except for the Sunday edition--it has the Kmart and Target ads in it.
I am in the process of creating what my husband says will be a work of art when I get it done. A quilt for our bed--he picked the colors and we picked the pattern together--now I get to do the work. But it is really not work at this point. I'm stitching the strips together and have made a few blocks to see what it will look like, but I think I will just sew the strips together until I get all I have cut done. Then I will sew into blocks. It is a Roman Square pattern from a Better Homes and Gardens quilt mag I picked up at Wally World a couple of weeks ago. It is also the same one that Kate is doing, only with different colors.
Speaking of which, I'd better get hopping if I want to sew any time today,as we will have Kate and Kris both tonight, and I am sure Kate will want to use the machine.......
